About
mtr is a network diagnostic tool that combines ping and traceroute into one program. Nixpkgs contains two flavors of it: the standalone application and a prometheus-ready exporter:
{
programs.mtr.enable = true;
services.mtr-exporter.enable = true;
}
Issues
mtr needs to be called with sudo
To avoid the need to escalate privileges when calling mtr create a setcap wrapper by setting
programs.mtr.enable = true;
