gping is a cross-platform command-line ping utility that visualizes ping latency as a live graph in the terminal. It supports graphing multiple hosts simultaneously, custom colors, and timing arbitrary commands via the --cmd flag.

Use cases

• visualize ping latency to a host in the terminal
• compare network latency across multiple hosts at once
• monitor connection stability over time with a live graph
• measure and graph the execution time of a shell command
• diagnose intermittent network lag or packet loss
• ping AWS regions using shorthand like aws:eu-west-1

When to choose

• you want a visual, real-time graph of ping times instead of plain text output
• you need to compare latency to several hosts side by side
• you want a cross-platform ping tool that works on Windows, macOS, and Linux
• you want to time how long arbitrary commands take, graphed over time

When to avoid

• you need scripted, machine-readable ping output rather than an interactive TUI
• you need full network monitoring with alerting, dashboards, or historical data
• you need advanced diagnostics like traceroute or port scanning
