Internet Speed Monitor Input Plugin

The Internet Speed Monitor collects data about the internet speed on the system.

On some systems, the default settings may cause speed tests to fail; if this affects you then try enabling memory_saving_mode. This reduces the memory requirements for the test, and may reduce the runtime of the test. However, please be aware that this may also reduce the accuracy of the test for fast (>30Mb/s) connections. This setting enables the upstream Memory Saving Mode

Global configuration options

In addition to the plugin-specific configuration settings, plugins support additional global and plugin configuration settings. These settings are used to modify metrics, tags, and field or create aliases and configure ordering, etc. See the CONFIGURATION.md for more details.

Configuration

# Monitors internet speed using speedtest.net service
[[inputs.internet_speed]]
  ## This plugin downloads many MB of data each time it is run. As such
  ## consider setting a higher interval for this plugin to reduce the
  ## demand on your internet connection.
  # interval = "60m"

  ## Enable to reduce memory usage
  # memory_saving_mode = false

  ## Caches the closest server location
  # cache = false

Metrics

It collects latency, download speed and upload speed

Name	filed name	type	Unit
Download Speed	download	float64	Mbps
Upload Speed	upload	float64	Mbps
Latency	latency	float64	ms

Example Output

internet_speed,host=Sanyam-Ubuntu download=41.791,latency=28.518,upload=59.798 1631031183000000000
