    Description

      Here is the support for SPEEDTEST® by OOKLA®

      https://www.speedtest.net/de/apps/cli

       

      How To:

      • install speedtest cli as documented on ookla's website
      • add new cronjob for recurring speedtest
      • be happy about your bandwidth statistics

       

      cronjob to run every 5 minutes:

      1,6,11,16,21,26,31,36,41,46,51,56 * * * * root /usr/bin/speedtest -f json-pretty > /tmp/speedtest.json

       

      alternatively every 15 minutes:

      1,16,31,46 * * * * root /usr/bin/speedtest -f json-pretty > /tmp/speedtest.json

       

      or every hour:

      1 * * * * root /usr/bin/speedtest -f json-pretty > /tmp/speedtest.json

       

      Note: Don't run it together with OBS poller.php! Because the unix-agent will read an empty speedtest.json, because the test takes some seconds to complete
