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
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.
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
To test the route from your server to another location, replace radwebhosting.com with the IP address or hostname you wish to diagnose.
