Overview

This extensions runs a traceroute (or tracert on Windows) command from an ActiveGate or OneAgent to a configured destination and collects all of the RTT performance metrics for each step.

It also collects a metric on whether the connection to the remote destination was successful (1) or failed (0).

Each metric contains dimensions for the device IP / hostname of each hop.

Use cases

  • Collect connection information and performance for layer 3 network devices
  • Diagnose network outages

Compatibility information

  • Windows
  • Linux (Requires traceroute to be installed)
