Minimalistic bash + python code to monitor your internet connection and make pretty graphs without effort.
- If you want to make something fancier, realtime, etc.. use Graphana instead: https://github.com/grafana/grafana
- If you'd rather just have something minimal, terminal and collect data over time in a no-frills tabular format, for later analysis, then this repo might be good enough
Uses speedtest-cli to spit out a daily csv with the result of a speed test (ping, upload/down speeds, info on the remote used for the test).
NB: Sending to background speedtest-cli (ctrl+z) didn't work in my case, it has to do with how it's written probably. So in order to run this script continuously I recommend just running it from a tmux session and then detaching from it, or something along these lines. Get creative!
The speed test interval can be changed via the interval variable, expressed in seconds.
Other alternatives are to use a cronjobs, etc.. but I don't particularly them.
The script should work in any POSIX compliant shell, but I only tested with GNU bash 3.2.57(1)
If you're a fellow fish user, you'll want to use monitor_speed.fish instead.
Ipython notebook using pands and matplotlib to create the super simple time based charts.
Run with jupyter-lab internet_speed_exploration.ipynb

If you're not familiar with python and its package management, have a read online with how virtual-envs works, before randomly trying to install stuff and pollute your system level PYTHONPATH.
I've also added a conda environment.yml, freezing the versions of these dependencies that have been working fine for me. If you have no clue about conda, I wrote a (high-level) article here: https://www.valerioviperino.me/conda/for-pipeline-tds
