What is it?

NBping is a command-line ping tool written in Rust. It sends ICMP-style pings to one or more hosts at the same time and shows the results in a live terminal UI, with graph, table, point and sparkline views that can be switched at runtime.

Beyond the interactive display, it can run in exporter mode, which serves ping metrics in Prometheus format on a local HTTP port so they can be charted in tools such as Grafana. It also supports TCP ping, IP range scanning, IPv6, saving results to a file, and YAML configuration files where command-line flags override file values.

The project was previously published under the name Nping and has been renamed to NBPing. It is distributed through Homebrew on macOS.
