Tools: Parse and filter JSON output with jc and jq

I am exploring the IPv6 stack from the shell. On my Debian jump box in AWS, I ran a ping, converted the output to JSON with jc and filtered it with jq. I tested against delta.nl to extract the destination IP address and average round-trip time.

ping -c 4 delta.nl | jc --ping -p | jq '.destination_ip,.round_trip_ms_avg'

"2606:4700:4400::ac40:9425"
1.349

My next step is to put this into a Bash script and make a POST request to InfluxDB. After that, I want to create a dashboard in Grafana.
