This is a collection of scripts I'm using to track my ISPs performance over a period of time. It consists so far of three parts:
- A script that uses sivel's speedtest-cli to generate a measurement. This uses the speedtest.net infrastructure to collect performance metrics.
- An InfluxDB server that stores all the measurements
- A Chronograf server that is used to visualize the collected measurements
In this repository you will also fijnd a render.py file which I previously
used for generating visualisations. Fortunately, I now have a more recent
RaspberryPI at my disposal and can therefore use Chronograf directly 🙂
If you want to install speedtesting on a RaspberryPI with Raspbian, we have an
install.sh script which automates all the necessary steps for you.
Just open a terminal on your RaspberryPI and enter the following command:
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zerok/speedtesting/master/install.sh | sudo /bin/bash
Under the hood, this uses the Ansible roles defined
inside the ansible folder.
This collection has three dependencies:
Once you have all that installed, just run the following commands to create a
measurement and store it inside the speedtest database of your InfluxDB
server:
# Install all dependencies:
$ pipenv shell
$ pipenv sync
# Generate a measurement:
$ pipenv run python speedtest.py
If you have InfluxDB installed somewhere else, you can specify its connection settings through various command-line flags on both scripts.
Now, you can inspect the details of the measurement either using the influx
command-line application or Chronograf.
The dashboards folder includes dashboard configurations for Chronograf.
Big thanks to Josef Schneider and Eva Silberschneider for the inspiration with their speedtest_cron package.
