THE WATCHWatch when your ISP and property manager won't

Network reliability evidence, on demand. Vigil watches your connection 24/7 and generates the uptime, latency, and outage records you need to push back when your ISP or building staff give you the runaround.

Why it existsWhat is broken today.

Your internet drops three times a day. Your ISP says "looks fine on our end." Your property manager says "we don't see any issues." You have nothing but frustration — no timestamps, no uptime percentages, no record of when it actually broke. Without evidence, your complaint is just a feeling.

The answerWhat Vigil does.

Vigil runs in the background and probes 13 endpoints every 2.5 seconds: public DNS, Teams/Zoom/Outlook over TCP, STUN servers, and your local gateway. Outages are detected live (3+ consecutive failures), aggregated to tiers (raw / 1-min / 5-min / 1-hour), and exported as HTML, CSV, or JSON reports — proof you can attach to a support ticket or send to building management.

What you get
Everything in the box.
Continuous ProbingICMP + TCP + UDP-DNS + UDP-STUN to 13 default endpoints every 2.5 seconds. Add your own targets too.
Live Outage Detection3-fail threshold with 60s recovery hold-off and 2-min coalesce window — no false alarms, no fragmented incidents.
Service GroupingCorrelated failures across providers (e.g. STUN blocked across Google + Cloudflare) read as one incident, not many.
Wi-Fi CorrelationSignal strength tracked alongside probes so you can prove "the dropouts line up with the signal drops."
Tiered AggregationRaw samples for 7 days, 1-min buckets for 14 days, 5-min for 90 days, 1-hour forever. SQLite stays small over months of use.
Evidence ReportsGenerate self-contained HTML, CSV, or JSON exports of any window. Self-contained, shareable, audit-ready.
How it compares
Why not the alternative.
vs Smokeping

Smokeping is a sysadmin tool — config files, RRD databases, perl scripts. Vigil is a desktop app that runs itself.

vs PingPlotter

PingPlotter is paid software and Windows-leaning. Vigil is open source, cross-platform (macOS signed + Windows + Linux), and respects your data — everything stays local.

Pricing
Free and open source. Apache 2.0.
