Usage with Check MK

You can deploy the Plugin and the graphing template with

If you do not want to use mkp, you can copy the files:

cp check_speedtest-cli.sh <site>/local/lib/nagios/plugins/check_speedtest-cli.sh
cp check_speedtest.sh <site>/local/lib/nagios/plugins/check_speedtest.sh
cp speedtest.py <site>/local/share/check_mk/web/plugins/metrics/speedtest.py

You can create an active check rule, or integrate the check into the agent.
