Interesting!

My ping to that address went terrible for a brief window today - https://i.imgur.com/KjCcBeT.png

Hey, what software are you using to collect the data and display that graph? I wouldn't mind running something on my server that could notify or log if 1.1.1.1 (and other services I rely on) are slow or down.

That looks like smokeping

This is correct.

more specifically looks like smokeping, rra file storage and rrdtool to draw the graph. Compared to modern things like influxdb+grafana it is a very oldschool setup but still works perfectly fine.
