Smokeping request (or alternative)

Hello, guys

I'd like to request a smokeping package.
I can download it from Arch repos but I face an unresolvable dependencies issue.
Yes, I'm aware that I can add Arch repos to Artix, but I don't want to make a frankenstein of it (also doubt that it won't break things in the future).

If it's not at all possible, I would kindly ask local network gurus for an alternative solution.
I need some ping logging magic that detects dropped packages and/or network lags and logs them.
It may not necessarily have fancy graphs like smokeping, but some simple solution like mtr or ping + some scripting, idk. I'm just not a coding/scripting guy, unfortunately.

Any help would be appreciated.

UPDATE: I guess I'll just go with mtr at specific times (cronjobs).

Though something like smokeping with graphs would be really awesome.

Sorry not one has replied, but all my major breakages have come from Artix. Arch repos will be fine.

Unfortunately, smokeping depends on a long chain of Perl packages which are bothersome to summarily import. I'll do it soon, but the good news is the Arch package does not depend on systemd and only installs a service file.
