03 / TASK AND FAILURE
claude-code/java-t2 #29 · read the task the agent was given
Claude Code wrote this java project from the task below. It does not run on a clean Ubuntu 22.04 machine as written. Task given to the agent: TASK: Network Latency Monitor Write a program that continuously monitors network latency to multiple hosts using ICMP-like probes or TCP connection timing, tracking statistics over time and alerting on anomalies. FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS: - Accept one or more hostnames or IP addresses as command-line arguments - Send periodic probes to each host at a configurable interval via --interval flag (default: 5 seconds) - Measure round-trip time (RTT) for each probe using TCP connection timing to a specified port (--port flag, default 80) since raw ICMP requires root privileges - Track running statistics per host: min RTT, max RTT, average RTT, median RTT, standard deviation, jitter (difference between consecutive measurements), and packet loss percentage - Support configurable monitoring duration via --duration flag (e.g., --duration 60s, --duration 5m, --duration 1h) or run until interrupted with Ctrl+C - Detect latency anomalies: flag probes where RTT exceeds a configurable threshold via --alert flag (default: 3x the running average RTT) - Display a live-updating console dashboard showing: host, last RTT, average RTT, min/max, packet loss %, and alert status - Record all measurements with timestamps for historical analysis - Save the full monitoring data as a JSON report with --output flag (default: latency_report.json) including per-host statistics and all individual measurements - Export time-series data as CSV via --export flag for external analysis - Support reading a list of hosts from a file via --file flag (one host per line with optional label) - If no hosts are given, monitor a set of well-known public hosts (8.8.8.8, 1.1.1.1, example.com, google.com) for 30 seconds, display live statistics, then print a final summary report comparing all hosts - Handle errors: unreachable hosts, DNS resolution failures, connection timeouts, and graceful shutdown saving partial data Create a complete Java project for a clean Ubuntu 22.04 machine with only JDK 17+ installed. Include: - Source code - pom.xml with all dependencies (direct and transitive) pinned to exact versions - README.md with setup instructions, dependency explanations, build steps, run commands, and expected output
