mikemrm Posted Monday at 11:19 PM CID Share Posted Monday at 11:19 PM Hello, I did some searching but didn't find anything else on the forums asking for this, sorry if this has already been asked. I was wondering if there would be any interest in making speed tests executable from the command line with options to output the results in json? I currently deploy a prometheus exporter on my clusters which uses speedtest.net's cli to produce prometheus metrics which I then have grafana dashboards for. Having a cli tool would make it easy for me to replicate this but with testmy.net. Thanks!

CA3LE Posted 2 hours ago CID Share Posted 2 hours ago Early this year I was working on a CLI project, with very promising results. It's still very early. Messing around in python and C++. The program tests upload speed, download speed and latency and saves the result to TestMy.net's database. It can be controlled from the command line or you can take control using TestMy.net's interface on any device. In development I've compiled this to work on Linux, Mac, Windows. Intel and ARM. Ultimately I want to give manufactures a framework to integrate into devices. And also give consumers some cool new options, with a minimal footprint. Would you like to join the Beta Testers team? They'll be informed first when I open that up for testing. mikemrm 1 Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/35144-thoughts-on-a-cli-tool/#findComment-360231 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikemrm Posted 2 hours ago Author CID Share Posted 2 hours ago Thanks, sure, I'd be happy to be part of the beta testers. You mention it sending the results to the database. Would you also be able to allow for the results to to be output from the cli in a machine readable format like json, so it may be consumed for other monitoring services? It wouldn't necessarily need to be the whole dataset, but the summary of the results would be very helpful. Thanks!

Yes, I have that option in there. Sorry, I meant to mention that point. Output directly to CLI is how it was initially developed, so that's in there as an option. Specifically output to json because it's so useful. You're added to the group. Welcome!
