Netpulse-Go

NetPulse-Go

NetPulse-Go is a simple, concurrent network monitoring tool written in Go. It reads a list of target URLs or IP addresses from a file, pings them at a regular 30-second interval, and logs the status and latency to a CSV file.

This project uses only the Go standard library.

Installation

The easiest way to install NetPulse-Go is to use go install. This will download the source, compile it, and place the Netpulse-Go binary in your Go bin directory, making it available from your command line.

Note: You must have your Go environment set up correctly (i.e., your $GOPATH/bin or $HOME/go/bin directory must be in your system's PATH).

1. Install the application:

   go install -v github.com/benjaminbencsik/Netpulse-Go@latest
   

2. Create your targets file: Netpulse-Go looks for a targets.txt file in the directory where you run it. Create this file and add the URLs or IP addresses you want to monitor, one per line.

   Example targets.txt:

   https://www.google.com
   8.8.8.8
   

3. Run the application: Once installed, you can run it from any directory:

   Netpulse-Go
   

   The monitor will start and create a network_log.csv file in the same directory. You can stop it by pressing Ctrl+C.

Development (Running from Source)

If you want to modify the code or run it directly from the source, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/benjaminbencsik/Netpulse-Go.git
   cd Netpulse-Go
   

2. Run the application:

   go run main.go
