Stephane, That is precisely why I became interested, for a quick ping or trace they have a CLI where one can do a quick measurement or via the API. With Atlas Magellan in a docker container this is also possible, it streams the results to the console but Globalping might be a good add on tool in the toolkit. Thanks for the input.

It might be “cursing in the church” as we say in NL, but does anyone here have experience with the Globalping monitoring tools?

No real practical experience but it seems interesting. The API is well documented and a shell script as simple as:
curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ --data-binary @- \ https://api.globalping.io/v1/measurements \ <<EOF { "limit": 10, "locations": [], "target": "ayla.bortzmeyer.org", "type": "ping", "measurementOptions": { "packets": 3 } } EOF
is enough to launch a measurement. You can see the resulting JSON at https://api.globalping.io/v1/measurements/bqXml2MiDAoawobv if you want an idea.
