Network Speed Monitor

A Python-based tool for monitoring and logging your network's speed, utilizing the Speedtest CLI by Ookla. This local utility periodically checks your network's latency, download, and upload speeds, and logs the results for review.

Features

  • Automated Speed Tests: Utilizes the Speedtest CLI for accurate network speed measurements.
  • Configurable Intervals: Set the interval between consecutive network speed tests.
  • Detailed Logging: Maintains logs for different network types (Ethernet, Wi-Fi) to track performance over time.

Prerequisites

Installation

  1. Ensure the Speedtest CLI is installed and accessible from your command line.
  2. Clone this repository to your local machine.
  3. Install any required Python dependencies (if specified).

Usage

Execute main_v2.py to start the speed monitoring process. The script will perform network speed tests at the configured intervals and log the results in designated files.

python main_v2.py

##Logs Speed test results are logged in the following files:

  • speedtest_log_Ethernet.txt for Ethernet connections
  • speedtest_log_Wi-Fi.txt for Wi-Fi connections

Customization

Modify the main_v2.py script to adjust the target file type, test intervals, or other parameters according to your requirements.
