Is there a ping replacement that will display the system's date/time in addition to the round trip time and sequence number? I would prefer a tool that runs on Linux, but if there is a cli tool I can run on Windows that would be good too.
There is a system which users are reporting is intermittently pausing. This doesn't seem to happen at any consistent time. I haven't been able to get the reporting user to tell when it happened with enough specificity to be able to correlate the pause to any logs.
One of the techs left a ping running against the host for a day. The round trip time got pretty large at one point in time. I am trying to figure out when exactly this happens so I can narrow down which log entries I should be looking at, and possibly correlate this pause with other data I might be able to collect with performance logs, device logs and so on.
