Kmtr is a KDE application that serves as a traceroute applet for the kicker panel. It allows for tracing network routes and identifying connectivity issues.
KMTR is a helpful KDE kicker MTR traceroute applet that allows you to continually monitor your network's latency. With the information provided by this applet, you can easily detect problems in your network by observing color-coded latency.
To use KMTR, you must have KDE 3.x installed on your system. The latest release of this applet includes bug fixes for hosts without DNS records, which previously showed up as empty strings. Additionally, the target is now configurable from the panel.
One exciting new feature of KMTR is that it automatically walks through the hops and shows the last latency. It deactivates on mouse hover for five seconds. However, it is worth noting that host names can be quite long. Therefore, it's recommended to add all hosts in the route to /etc/hosts, allowing you to have smaller lines.
Overall, KMTR is a well-designed and useful applet for those who need to monitor their network's latency continuously. The added feature of color coding latency makes it easy to detect problems, and the bug fixes and new configurations make it even more usable.
