ndt-server VS Speedtest-Tracker

Data source: https://www.measurementlab.net

I get a test from https://www.measurementlab.net/ with it. Do realize that I'm from Europe and that testing a connection with an overseas server has a major impact on performance.

This is one of the better ones, but you can run whatever one you want, just don't use speedtest.net as they're trash now.

Tests are using the first hit when Googling "Speedtest" which connects to https://www.measurementlab.net/

To be specific in my thought here: we could fairly easily allow an admin to modify the endpoint in our client to measure loss & latency to an internal address or service in the cloud rather than our default. Speeds on the other hand are something we can't support just yet as it would require a test server near that endpoint. For what it's worth, the speed test application we use does have other examples for deploying your own test server. We'd need to do a deep dive into what that looks like from an engineering and business perspective before enabling teams to spin these up and use them as targets.

At a RIPE meeting I received this tip. Run an NDT test on https://www.measurementlab.net Although my skepticism at first I always seem to be getting a reliable response.

Google now uses https://www.measurementlab.net when you search for Speed Test so I have that bookmarked now

one possible solution: https://www.measurementlab.net/tests/ndt/

Well that is interesting, it's definitely something with googles built in speed test (thru https://www.measurementlab.net/).

I was just using speedtest.com and measurementlab.net/ before.

here's the top two results if you search for "open speed test nginx reverse proxy": https://github.com/librespeed/speedtest/wiki/Reverse-proxy-with-Nginx https://github.com/henrywhitaker3/Speedtest-Tracker/issues/924

I have a WFH job but live in a rural area where the internet service is frequently unreliable. I'd like to monitor and log outage incidents (e.g. time of incident, duration) so that I can provide that data to my local service provider and get some real assistance in solving the problem. I have been using a small container app called SpeedTest Tracker which helps, but it's fairly heavyweight for what I want to accomplish. I'd like to (1) get longer historical data (e.g. ~90 days reporting), (2) get more granular reporting intervals (e.g. every 5-15min), and (3) more lightweight in the test payload (e.g. simple ping as opposed to large data transfer).

https://github.com/henrywhitaker3/Speedtest-Tracker this is what I use to track my internets up and down speeds.

oh if it's the actual speed you're interested in... see on my dashboard there are two speedtest panels in the 'monitoring' section? those are two instances of this - https://github.com/henrywhitaker3/Speedtest-Tracker - one running on each machine and they test the speed at regular intervals and keep a log.

Never mind -- Found it, https://github.com/henrywhitaker3/Speedtest-Tracker for anyone interested.

Not sure if this is what he's using but I use https://github.com/henrywhitaker3/Speedtest-Tracker

I would also add Speedtest-Tracker so you can make sure your getting speeds for which you pay for, It keeps historical data so you can go back a bit, I have my testing every 30 minutes. The default is once an hour.

Essentially I'm looking for something similar to this Speedtest Tracker, but where I can specify the iperf3 server(s) to test against.
