• Deviation - Trace deviations of the response time of a host / URL

🌐 Supported Protocols

• DNS
• HTTPS
• HTTP

📋 Requirements

Python 3.10 or Docker

⬇️ CLI Download

To start using this CLI, install it via PIP (PyPi registry) as a global python command

⚡ Direct params

connectivity_tool -p DNS -d yahoo.com

📂 Test suite path

connectivity_tool --suite-file ./suite.yaml

The file structure should be as follows:

suite:
  - protocol: DNS
    domain: "yahoo.com"

  - protocol: HTTP
    url: "http://www.google.com"

  - protocol: HTTPS
    url: "https://www.facebook.com"
    latency_threshold_deviation: # Optional for HTTP/HTTPS only - default is 60 seconds
      value: 1 # Amount of units
      unit: Millisecond # Unit of the value (e.g. Millisecond, Second, Minute)
    test_upload_bandwidth: true # Optional for HTTP/HTTPS only - default is false
    test_download_bandwidth: true # Optional for HTTP/HTTPS only - default is false

The json format is also supported as yaml is the default format, set also -t json argument to specify format.

{
  "suite": [
    {
      "protocol": "DNS",
      "domain": "yahoo.com"
    },
    {
      "protocol": "HTTP",
      "url": "http://www.google.com"
    },
    {
      "protocol": "HTTPS",
      "url": "https://www.facebook.com",
      "latency_threshold_deviation": {
        "value": 1,
        "unit": "Millisecond"
      },
      "test_upload_bandwidth": true,
      "test_download_bandwidth": true
    }
  ]
}

🗃️ Results Store

Every operation result will be stored in a jsonl local file.

Run connectivity_tool --output-store 5 to print to stdout the last 5 result/s.

The store file is ./store_data/conn_tool_store.jsonl as default and can be changed by --store flag.

For Docker see the Docker section
