This tool has been replaced by the Telegraf's inputs.internet_speed input plugin. This is kept here for reference, but isn't actively developed. Refer to the Telegraf instructions below to use that instead
This is a wrapper for speedtest-go that writes the results to InfluxDB. Based on Speedtest-for-InfluxDB-and-Grafana, but rewritten in Go.
Telegraf's inputs.internet_speed plugin replicates the functionality of this tool and is more actively maintained. It's recommended to use that instead. The inputs.internet_speed plugin does change the metric names, but if that isn't a deal breaker, you can configure Telegraf to perform the speedtests. Telegraf's --once flag can be used to replicate the delay: 0 behavior of this application.

./speedtest-influxdb-go
- Build with
docker build -t tomroush/speedtest-influxdb-go:latest . - Fill in
config.yaml. It will be mounted as volume into the container - Run with
docker run --rm -v $PWD/config.yaml:/config.yaml tomroush/speedtest-influxdb-go:latest
This can be used to replace the earlier Speedtest-for-InfluxDB-and-Grafana application written in Python. The Go version is more stable and uses less resources. To upgrade, the previous application's config.ini must be translated into a config.yaml file. The config values have identical names and meanings. See config.yaml for an example file.
