I suffer several micro cuts a day since a couple weeks. I’d like to monitor these cuts to help diagnose the issue with my ISP.
Is there any docker image that allows to do this ? I only found internet speed monitoring.

Depends on how much you want to set up. For my purposes, I just check for connectivity every minute, and record true or false as a new row in a sqlite database if there is connectivity.
This is what I use on my raspberry pi,
and I just have a crontab entry
* * * * * ~/connectivity_check/check.py >/dev/null 2>&1
to run it every minute.Then I just check for recent disconnects via:
Obviously, it’s not as full-featured as something with configurable options or a web UI etc, but for my purposes, it does exactly what I need with absolutely zero overhead.
That’s not exactly the solution I was looking for, but that was very instructive. Thank you.
Ah I see you mentioned the cuts are only a few seconds long. This wouldn’t catch that very well.
If you have a server outside of your network you could simply hold open a TCP connection and report when it breaks, but I’ll admit at that point it’s outside of what I’ve had to deal with.
Maybe smokeping?

I’ll try it, thank you.
For a while now I’ve had Grafana hooked up to InfluxDB and Telegraf. Using Telegraf I setup pings to ips along my route to the larger internet, major dns providers, and several large internet sites. I measure response time and packet loss. It has allowed me to cut through the Comcast BS when diagnosing problems with them. I can tell them for sure that the problem is inside their network and is the X hop from my router.
I recently started setting up Grafana over on a different server and I’m using Prometheus instead to monitor more than just the other server I was monitoring. I haven’t yet set it up with that but it looks like something similar is possible with Prometheus based on the small amount of research I’ve done on it.
Not sure, but I think that designing an internet measurement in a RIPE Atlas network might just fit this task? https://atlas.ripe.net/probes/ You have micro cuts, but are those only to the big name websites or to something local as well? Might help answer that, and give ISP data on where exactly are they hitting the bottleneck and what are they missing monitoring.
