network debugging
What tool do you want? Realtime Network Debugging Tools:
- DNS Checker
- Ports Checker
- Telnet(or equivalent to check port connectivity)
- Ping Tool
Describe the solution you'd like
Using relevant libraries we can implement these features.
Is their example of this tool in the wild?
I have build my own tooling for such use case, which I use on regular basis to debug service connectivity from my k8s cluster hosting a set of microservices. https://codeberg.org/drpdishant/k8s-lab/src/branch/master/utils/netapi
Additional context
It will help dev and operations to debug network related issues without needing to access the cluster, or an air-gapped runtime environment.
Hi @drpdishant , this is not really possible from a browser, JS cannot access everywhere and cannot do raw socket access, will require a local application or server side, so probably not the goal of this project
But maybe can just make links to other websites if you provide urls for such
links
Yes, this will require a serverside component, which can act as an agent to initiate such checks. Browser will set a POST or GET Request to the agent and in turn will get the response.
Something similar to what prometheus-blackbox-exporter does
Hi @drpdishant
Thank you for your suggestion. However, as stated by @sharevb, IT-Tools operates solely on the client side and is unable to perform such operations within the browser.
