Introduction

Small utility to measure hiccups on the runtime. Inspired by JHiccup.

Requirements

• Go
• InfluxDB (Optional)

Building

Ensure that GOPATH is set up properly.

go get github.com/fhalim/ghiccup/cmd/ghiccup
go get github.com/fhalim/ghiccup/cmd/ghiccup2influxdb
go get github.com/fhalim/ghiccup/cmd/icmphiccup

Usage

The ghiccup command schedules pauses and measures latency above the specified duration. Commandline options allow specifying the pause duration as well as threshold for latency values that should be reported. The utility emits JSON messages, one per line, on its STDOUT.

icmphiccup pings a specified host and reports in the same JSON format as ghiccup when the RTT exceeds a specified threshold.

The ghiccup2influxdb utility can be used to write the information emitted by ghiccup into an InfluxDB series.
