w-ping

This is a pure python ping, and it's light and simple. The original code of python ping is from https://github.com/samuel/python-ping/.

There's something wrong with pure-python-ping. It gets wrong latency, and I can not fix it. So I set Linux ping as default instead of pure-python-ping. The pure-python-ping can be enabled with --pyping.

Help

[root@TEST w-ping]# ./w-ping.py
usage: w-ping.py [-h] [-b BIND] [-c COUNT] [-d DIR] [-i INTERVAL] [--ip IP] [-f FILE] [-l LOG] [--level LEVEL]
                 [-m MAX] [--pyping] [--shell] [-s] [-t TIMEOUT]

  This is a pure-python-ping, it was designed for pinging a lot of IP addresses.
  But pure-python-ping gets wrong latency and I can not fix it. So I set Linux
  ping as default, and pure-python-ping can be enabled with --pyping.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -b BIND, --bind BIND  Source IP address or Interface of Linux ping command.
  -c COUNT, --count COUNT
                        Same to -c of ping, accepts 0 to 1000, default is 1.
  -d DIR, --dir DIR     Default is blank, its where the ping result to be stored only when dir is specified.
                        Example:
                        /var/log/w-ping/$(date "+%Y")/$(date "+%Y%m%d")/
  -i INTERVAL, --interval INTERVAL
                        Same to -i of ping, accepts 0 to 60, default is 0.2s, less than 0.2 needs root privilege.
  --ip IP               Destination IP list.
  -f FILE, --file FILE  Destination IP list file.
  -l LOG, --log LOG     Log file, default is not set, then log to stdout.
  --level LEVEL         Log level, could be 50(critical), 40(error), 30(warning), 20(info) and 10(debug), default is 20.
  -m MAX, --max MAX     The maximum threads/processes could be spread each time, default is 1000.
  --pyping              Use pure python ping instead of Linux ping, default is Linux ping.
  --shell               Use Linux ping output style instead of csv.
  -s, --silence         Silence mode.
  -t TIMEOUT, --timeout TIMEOUT
                        Timeout of each thread, accepts 0.01 to 60s, default is 1s.

Log format:

  yyyy-mm-dd HH:MM:SS, ip, pkt_sent, pkt_recv, loss, rtt_min, rtt_avg, rtt_max, bind_addr/interface

Example:

  w-ping.py --ip 192.168.0.1,192.168.0.2
  w-ping.py -f ip.test -d /tmp/test/ -i 0.1 -t 5
  w-ping.py --file ip.test --dir /tmp/test/ --interval 0.1 --timeout 5
