A better looking networking diagnostics tool

It may be because my job role has changed significantly from what it was, but these kinds of tools and views, at least from what I now provide and do, are not as useful as full integrated application and network performance tools.

I think it may also be because I work on large customers who have large budgets, but having a deep aggregation of network and application information which provides application changes, network changes, traffic flow, database changes, application locations etc significantly reduces troubleshooting and those awful "war room" scenarios where something is not working and you have 5 teams all with isolated views finger pointing and troubleshooting.

If you can afford 1000 eyes then you don't need this but what do you do when things go titsup at home?

My experience with thousand eyes is limited, I need to check it out more. Ive had quite a bit of experience with Netscout and for some places that can afford it, and if the setup is done properly, it is extremely valuable.

For home network, I cant say I have anything complicated enough or difficult enough that I put any kind of monitoring. Maybe I have lost that deep techie mentality, but I've got decent Ruckus AP's and a licensed PA. Only issues i have had are fiber breaks
 
So this post is now on the first page of a google search so I better provide some more details than just the meme!

A tool that is often widely used for network diagnostics is mtr. However, on a networking kit mtr does not easily facilitate the trace being done from a specified network leg. Often it shoots a blank. trippy is similar in functionality to mtr but can trace from a leg. It also adds charts and maps as well as supporting Dublin traceroute.

It is better generic tool as the command line supports multiple targets and the layout is more informational to cut and paste for tickers.

It can be found over on github: https://github.com/fujiapple852/trippy
