Using pingNodes to check connections to other relayNodes/coreNodes

[ATADA]

Just a short reminder, you can use the little pingNodes.sh script i made for the ITN also for the HTN to check your connections to the other peers or see incoming connections into your coreNode from your external relayNodes.

Checking your connections on your StakePool with 'pingNodes'

Hi community, i made a script that checks the RTTs (round trip times) for your stakepool node. [image] You can set it up to check all OUTgoing connections from your node to other stakepools, you can also set it up to show connections that are coming IN to your specified node. The scripts reads out the whole network data of established peers from netstat, after that it generates an automated ping report. In this case it uses ping, and if ping is not successful it changes to a tcp/syn check…

I also have a not public released version that is doing an automated geo-ip lookup on the summary, i can post a link here for the Pioneers if you wanna use it.

Best regards,
Martin

Oneliner:
EDITED: please request the file if you want it, taken down currently for public usage, thx!

Please read the description within the script and set your parameters.

If you wanna just check the connection of a program (node) with listenaddress 3001 run it like:
./pingNodes14.sh 3001 out #to see all unique outgoing connections
./pingNodes14.sh 3001 in #to see all unique incoming connections

The script will to a ping test, and also a tcptraceroute to each connections, at the end you’ll get a summary like this one:

thanks a bunch @ATADA

your pingnode script helped me tune my ITN pool (after some lost battles) and I’m sure it will be great for the HTN too.
