Monitoring latency and throughput between Data Centers

Description

These scripts would run on a server to measure latency and throughput with a client and record the values in graphite

Cloning

git clone https://github.rp-core.com/cle/check_latency

Requirements

python2.7 or higher
graphitesend

Install requirements with pip

pip install graphitesend

Usage

Check Latency

usage: Checks the latency between this host and a remote host
       [-h] [--graphite_server GRAPHITE_SERVER] [--verbose] host count

positional arguments:
  host                  The remote host
  count                 The number of times to ping.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --graphite_server GRAPHITE_SERVER
                        The graphite server to use.
  --verbose             Print debug messages.

Graphite Example

Check Throughput

[[email protected] network]$ ./check_throughput.py -h
usage: Checks the throughput between this server and a remote host.
       [-h] [--graphite_server GRAPHITE_SERVER] [--verbose] client time

positional arguments:
  client                The host to act as the client.
  time                  The duration to test the latency for.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --graphite_server GRAPHITE_SERVER
                        The graphite server to use.
  --verbose             Print debug messages.

Example output
