What it does
NBping is a Rust ping utility for concurrent targets, visual terminal charts, TCP checks and metrics export.
NBping puts multiple destination names or addresses into concurrent terminal charts, making side-by-side response patterns easier to follow. A separate exporter mode exposes metrics for a Prometheus collector. Keep the mode and configuration with the result: command-line settings override YAML, then built-in defaults, and the documented TUI and exporter intervals differ. A count of zero runs without a packet-count limit; the exporter’s default port is 9090. The README also warns that -6 enables IPv6, so disabling it requires the appropriate configuration value. This is the project renamed from Nping, separate from Nmap’s Nping.
