In this article, we will demonstrate how to install and run MTR report on a CentOS server.
MTR is a powerful tool that combines the traceroute and ping utilities, allowing our support team to get a clear picture of where traffic is flowing across the Internet to our network. MTR Reports are also useful in diagnosing latency issues.
Install MTR
RHEL/Fedora/CentOS:
1. Login to your server over SSH or KVM
2. Run the following command:
sudo yum update && yum -y install mtr
You have now successfully installed MTR on your CentOS VPS or dedicated server.
Debian/Ubuntu:
1. Login to your server over SSH or KVM
2. Run the following command:
sudo apt update sudo apt install mtr -y
You have now successfully installed MTR on your Debian VPS or dedicated server.
Run MTR Report
To make a report for use by admins or by Rad Web Hosting Support technicians, run the following command:
mtr -rw radwebhosting.com > mtr_report.txt
The output of the example above will be saved to mtr_report.txt.
To test the route from your server to another location, replace radwebhosting.com with the host you wish to diagnose.
