Remember to:

  • Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
  • Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
  • Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

I noticed that some routers have features to monitor uptime and other metrics. One of my recently failed routers had this functionality, which inspired me to replicate it by writing a script. The script is designed to ping multiple servers to detect internet outages or high latency and send alerts via Telegram. Additionally, it provides daily, weekly, and monthly status updates through Telegram and logs all activities.

I carefully planned the features, but due to my limited knowledge of programming and Python, I relied heavily on ChatGPT for assistance. I would be truly grateful if you could review the script and share your feedback, suggestions, or critique.

as in you did not use chatbot to write it

used it for all of async code and database code plus complex scenarios

#

I have mentioned that I have heavily used chatGPT

are you telling me that you don't know any python at all?

meaning don't rely on chatbot for everything

fiery chasm

but out of curiosity I try to create this small helpful projects

you gotta understand the code if you use chatbot
