If you want a Smokeping alternative that also monitors CPU, disk, and bandwidth, this is it. 2. PingPlotter (Freemium / Paid) Best for: Graphical, real-time traceroute + latency monitoring. Stop fighting Perl dependencies
# Smokeping-style latency logging $targets = @("8.8.8.8", "1.1.1.1", "your-gateway.local") foreach ($target in $targets) Where-Object $_.StatusCode -ne 0).Count / 4) * 100 Add-Content -Path "C:\SmokeData\$target.csv" -Value "$(Get-Date -Format 'yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss'),$avg,$loss" this is it.
