How to run MTR for Linux

To run MTR (My Traceroute) from your Linux server, you need to ensure MTR is installed on your server. MTR is a great tool for network diagnostics.

You can install MTR using the package manager.

For Debian/Ubuntu:

sudo apt update sudo apt install mtr -y

For CentOS/RHEL/Fedora

sudo yum install mtr -y

Once installed, you can run MTR with the following command:

mtr <hostname or IP address>

This command will start running the MTR session to www.krypt.com

Please wait for 2-3 min before saving the MTR report.

You can save the output to a text file for further analysis:

sudo mtr -r www.krypt.com > mtr_report.txt

This will create a file named mtr_report.txt with the MTR report.

Network Permission: Some servers may restrict ICMP traffic, so MTR might not work as expected if outgoing ICMP requests are blocked.
