Python Web Server for Latency Monitoring

Monitor any latency for running ping command.

Install Python3

You can download Python 3 from the Python Official Website and install it on your computer.

Install TMUX (Optional)

If you are a Linux user, you can install Tmux for managing multi-session terminals in the background. This will allow you to run a Python web server and execute the ping command simultaneously.

sudo apt-get install tmux

Clone this project

Open your terminal, clone this project into your computer.
Change directory to 'python-web-latency-monitoring'

git clone https://github.com/haikal-dev/python-web-latency-monitoring.git
cd python-web-latency-monitoring

Install Flask module on Python3 (Required)

This will allow you to run a Python web server. In your project directory, open the terminal and type the following command:

pip install Flask

Option 1: Start Monitoring (For Linux user)

You can run two commands in the background using Tmux. To do this, open the terminal in your project directory and type the following command:

tmux new -d -s ping 'ping 8.8.8.8 > ping.txt'
tmux new -d -s server 'python3 app.py'

Open your browser, simply type URL:

http://localhost:5000

Option 2: Start Monitoring (For Windows user)

Open two command prompts separately. In each command prompt, navigate to your project directory.

cd <project-directory-path>

On first command prompt, run ping command.

ping 8.8.8.8 > ping.txt

On second command prompt, run python web server.

python3 app.py

While both terminals are running, you can open the browser and type the URL:

http://localhost:5000

You can also press 'F' for full screen.
