Containerized Speedtest CLI - Prometheus Exporter

Speedtest CLI Prometheus Exporter

This is a docker container which runs a prometheus exporter to collect speedtest data using the official Speedtest CLI and script_exporter. The billimek/prometheus-speedtest-exporter docker image is multi-arch supporting amd64, arm7, and arm64.

Prometheus configuration

The script_exporter needs to be passed the script name as a parameter (script). It is advised to use a long scrape_interval to avoid excessive bandwidth use.

Example config:

scrape_configs:
  - job_name: 'speedtest'
    metrics_path: /probe
    params:
      script: [speedtest]
    static_configs:
      - targets:
        - 127.0.0.1:9469
    scrape_interval: 60m
    scrape_timeout: 90s
  - job_name: 'script_exporter'
    metrics_path: /metrics
    static_configs:
      - targets:
        - 127.0.0.1:9469

helm chart

If running in kubernetes, there is a helm chart leveraging this with a built-in ServiceMonitor for an autoconfigured solution: https://github.com/billimek/billimek-charts/tree/master/charts/speedtest-prometheus
