How to monitor your internet connection with virtual custom sensors

[safi78]

@Derik:

I realised the package has different names, and maybe its even added in the latest distro's only, I don't know.

@hourly runs every xx:00 if I recall correctly, not sure though.

Glad your're happy with it

low ping means fast response.... so it's good
high ping means slow response... that' bad

Watch out the unit: normally it's ms-->milliseconds

Thanks
What's a normal/good ping?

[safi78]

The lower the better. Here's my graph, lowest I got was 25'ish (on cablemodem)

I eventually found out my problem so, the very high pings are either other stuff that's going on (downloading stuff with sabnzbd full throttle) or my connection with my cable modem and switch flappy (probably the auto-negiotation about duplex / speed etc going haywire). Still have to fix that, but TP-link doesn't offer a lot of Mac-software to manage stuff

regards!

mmm

I mean the Json files


Or i there something that i do wrong ...

This going to kill my sd ...[ after a few months .]

[safi78]

hmm i have the same thing, even with the 'wget -q' and redirect to /dev/null etc. weird. gotto look into that.

somewhat reassuring, I think I'm using my SSD for about 2 years now with a lot of scripting, testing, trial and error, etc and it's still fine.

Ok like to hear from you when you think you have a solution, i will test

My sd is stable ony this stuff is not the best option in that place...
When domoticz kills... some people here @ home get nervous..

backup, backup backup

Anyway, you can always create a 'ram-drive' to redirect this stuff to? Saves you disk-trashing

Backup is not the problem....

Code: Select all

0 1 * * * sudo ~/domoticz/scripts/domoticz_backup.sh
5 1 * * 6 sudo ~/domoticz/scripts/scripts_backup.sh
10 1 * * 6 sudo ~/domoticz/scripts/domoticz_map_backup.sh
1 1 1 * * sudo ~/domoticz/scripts/raspberry_backup.sh

Only everytime the work/time...
And Domoticz is going so fast that i do not every time how anything is working..
1 person says to me... when you can hold your card clean why don;t you do that

[geho]

Try this:

curl -s -i -H "Accept: application/json" "http://$host:$port/json.htm?type=command&param=udevice&idx=$idxdl&svalue=$download"
curl -s -i -H "Accept: application/json" "http://$host:$port/json.htm?type=command&param=udevice&idx=$idxul&svalue=$upload"
curl -s -i -H "Accept: application/json" "http://$host:$port/json.htm?type=command&param=udevice&idx=$idxpng&svalue=$png"

this will not add files

[Derik]

do i need to replace this.. or add?

[geho]

replace it

[safi78]

@Derik: I've been running beta since the beginning, never had any problems. A quick reinstall, yes, but restoring the db / scripts etc gets me up-and-running in an hour.

And, I see you are Dutch as well, so you can have a new SSD within 24 hours with BOL or CoolBlue

@geho: Thanks a bundle! Added to original post.

[Derik]

Code: Select all

pi@raspberrypi ~/domoticz/scripts $ ./speedtest.sh
ping = 37.035 ms
download = 33.04 Mbps
upload =  9.32 Mbps

Got some errors.. With the new curl..

[safi78]

Works fine here. What did you put in your script?

[Derik]

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

#setup
host=192.168.5.75
port=8081
username=LOGIN
password=WW
pingidx=4427
downloadidx=4426
uploadidx=4425

# no need to edit
speedtest-cli --simple > output.txt
ping=$(cat output.txt | sed -ne 's/^Ping: \([0-9]*\.[0-9]*\).*/\1/p')
download=$(cat output.txt | sed -ne 's/^Download: \([0-9]*\.[0-9]*\).*/\1/p')
upload=$(cat output.txt | sed -ne 's/^Upload: \([0-9]*\.[0-9]*\).*/\1/p')

#output if you run it manually
echo "ping = $ping ms"
echo "download = $download Mbps"
echo "upload =  $upload Mbps"

curl -s -i -H "Accept: application/json" "http://$host:$port/json.htm?type=command&param=udevice&idx=$idxdl&svalue=$download"
curl -s -i -H "Accept: application/json" "http://$host:$port/json.htm?type=command&param=udevice&idx=$idxul&svalue=$upload"
curl -s -i -H "Accept: application/json" "http://$host:$port/json.htm?type=command&param=udevice&idx=$idxpng&svalue=$png"

Sorry i am not sooooo smart//..

[safi78]

Not sure, but didn't you forget the $username & $password like so:

Code: Select all

curl -s -i -H "Accept: application/json" "http://$username:$password@$host:$port/json.htm?type=command&param=udevice&idx=$pingidx&svalue=$ping"
curl -s -i -H "Accept: application/json" "http://$username:$password@$host:$port/json.htm?type=command&param=udevice&idx=$downloadidx&svalue=$download"
curl -s -i -H "Accept: application/json" "http://$username:$password@$host:$port/json.htm?type=command&param=udevice&idx=$uploadidx&svalue=$upload"

?

[safi78]

And seriously, do you have like 4000+ devices in your domoticz history?

[Derik]

Dear Safi,

looks working @ my crontab time.. without garbage in my sd.. [ love your great work ]
See tomorrow, how his is working

And yes my history is real great.... the reason my complicated Zwave network....
did open new sensors for long time to see my new devices.
Then i delete them all, when i get my new devices..
Did this servile times.....
And Domoticz is still counting...
Only working like a rocket....
Thanks!!

[Derik]

Thanks again
Works great without garbage

This is great for the R-Pi, but is there an alternative for a Windows based server?

On windows 10 it's working here.
Install python 3.5.2 from https://www.python.org/downloads/
Open cmd as Administrator and type: pip install speedtest-cli
Then you can type: speedtest

I installed it and ran an admin-cmd. But PIP is not recognized as command or program...
In which directory does Python install? I can't find anything that looks recognizable!

Edit: never mind, I found the directory and was able to install the speedtest package, and run the speedtest manually.
Thanks!
