Low speeds and high ping about speedtest-for-influxdb-and-grafana HOT 8 CLOSED

That would make me think it's selecting a server that is not very close to you. Are you manually setting a server or allowing it to pick on it's own?

I picked the config.ini from this repository - only change I made were the InfluxDB settings. 😕
Do you know where I should look for logs or anything? Maybe even try and run the speedtest-cli myself inside the docker container?

@rinukkusu
could also be possible that the dashboard you used is set to the wrong datatype when displaying the info...

As a reference see these screenshots from my panel (I'd share the complete panel, but it also containes data from my router and some manual ping tests wich would not work on your setup)

Does the console output from the script match the speeds it shows in Grafana? After a speed test completes it should show you the results in the console.

Yes, in the docker container I get the same results:

# speedtest-cli

Testing from UPC Austria (x.x.x.x)...

On my local machine I get only slightly better results, when running the python script:

max@minzblatt ~ $ speedtest-cli

Which means there is something wrong with that script, I suppose, since I get good test results on the speedtest site itself ... 😄

Try manually setting a different server. Speedtest-CLI has a flag to list all the servers. You can get an ID from there and set it in the config for this tool.

Citycom Telekommunikation GmbH (Graz) is already the nearest server from which I get the good 300Mbps on the web version, but only 4Mbps in the CLI version. So I will check with the issues on the speedtest-cli repo. Thanks for your help!

Did you ever fix this? After messing wit hPython versions I get 4MBps in Grafana - but running my providers speedtest (or speedtest.net) I see the normal upload speed.

Download is not affected, but upload is way off. Tried multiple servers, and no specifed server - all are the same. speedtest-cli shows me the right speeds.

EDIT: tried the speedtest-cli from the docker image - there I get low upload. Updated from 2.0.2 to latest - now it seems I get the right speeds..
