netdata-speedtest

A Speedtest.net connection speed testing plugin for netdata.

Just drop the script file into /usr/libexec/netdata/charts.d/, and Netdata will pick it up automatically. It creates a new chart under the System header, called Connection Speed. It tracks both down and upload speeds.

Installation

This plugin requires the speedtest-cli python project. Install with pip install speedtest-cli.

Configuration

None required, but you can modify Netdata's built-in parameter for testing frequency. Add a file called /etc/netdata/charts.d/speedtest.conf:

#!/bin/bash

# Update frequency, in seconds. Defaults to 60.
speedtest_update_every=60

Testing

To make sure it works, use netdata's built-in debugging system. Run:

# become user netdata
sudo su -s /bin/sh netdata

# run the plugin in debug mode
/usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/charts.d.plugin debug 60 speedtest
