speedtest-logger

A small script which loggs the results of speedtest-cli in a log file

Installation

Put speedlog.sh somewhere and make sure it is executable (chmod +x speedlog.sh). If you run it now, it will create a file in working directory and put its results into it.

Automation

I used systemd timers to run this script every 15 minutes. Copy speedtest.timer and speedtest.service to /etc/systemd/system/. Fix the path to speedlog.sh in speedtest.service. Then run:

systemctl enable speedtest.service
systemctl enable --now speedtest.timer

Check the status:

$ systemctl status speedtest.timer
● speedtest.timer - Test the internet connection speed
