- $maxlag = 40 # Latency above which to go beep
- # If it ain't PowerShell 7+ we don't want to know about it.
- if ($PSVersionTable.PSVersion.Major -lt 7) {

- # Format file output and append latest to file (date time,ip,latency,exceeds max)
- "$(Get-Date -Format 'yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss'),$($ip),$($lag.Latency),$($lag.Latency -gt $maxlag)" | Out-File $file -Append
- # If latency is above maximum allowed value ...
