Trippy Plugin
Trippy is a network diagnostic tool that combines traceroute, ping, and path analysis. It supports multiple output modes including JSON, CSV, Markdown, and an interactive TUI.
Commands
Self
trippy self version — Print trippy version
Trace Operations
trippy trace json <target> [-C N] — Traceroute with JSON output (machine-readable)trippy trace pretty <target> [-C N] — Traceroute with pretty text tabletrippy trace csv <target> [-C N] — Traceroute with CSV output
Passthrough
trippy _ _ <args> — Raw passthrough (tui, stream, markdown, dot, silent modes, etc.)
Usage Examples
- "trace route to google.com and output JSON"
- "traceroute to 8.8.8.8 with 5 cycles"
- "run traceroute showing pretty text table"
- "check network path to example.com using UDP"
- "trace using IPv4 only"
