Graph-Internet-Speed

Run and visualize speedtest data.

Set up the program to run in loop either using a cronjob or using the included runner script. When the program runs it saves the upload, download, ping, ssid and other information to a json file. These json can be generated into interactive plotly or matplotlib graphs by running the DrawSpeed.py module.

Command line arguments

Run

usage: runner.py run [-h] -f FREQUENCY FREQUENCY [-d DURATION DURATION]
                     [-resultfile RESULTFILE] [-configfile CONFIGFILE]
                     [-pidfile PIDFILE]

Measure internet speed periodically by setting frequency and duration.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -f FREQUENCY FREQUENCY, --frequency FREQUENCY FREQUENCY
                        How often should we run.
  -d DURATION DURATION, --duration DURATION DURATION
                        How long should we run. (default=[24, 'hour'])
  -resultfile RESULTFILE
                        Location where results shouls be saved
                        (default=speedresults.json)
  -configfile CONFIGFILE
  -pidfile PIDFILE

Both frequency and duration should be formatted as follows -----------
interger [sec|min|hour|day|] ex) 5 min

Draw

usage: runner.py draw [-h] [-resultfile RESULTFILE] [-type {pyplot,plotly}]
                      [-filter FILTER FILTER] [-options {download,upload}]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -resultfile RESULTFILE
                        Choose results file to draw.
                        (default=speedresults.json)
  -type {pyplot,plotly}
                        The type of graph to display (default=pyplot)
  -filter FILTER FILTER
                        Filter data on specific key value pairs
  -options {download,upload}
                        Graph upload or download speeds. (default=download)

Examples

eg) Run every 5 minutes for the next 24 hours saving results on desktop. (be sure this file exists)

python runner.py run -f 5 min -d 24 hour -resultfile /path/to/result/file

eg) Draw the results of a speedtest run.

python runner.py draw -resultfile /path/to/result/file

Modules

SpeedTester.py

Main class which gets data on your internet speed.

SpeedTester

Get the speed of Internet.

• __del__
• get_previous_results
• run_test
• parse_and_save_results
  • Parse results into the available keys.
• write_results_to_file
  • Write the gathered results to a text file.

DrawSpeed.py

This is for for graphing the results of the SpeedTester

Currently you can create both plotly and matplotlib graphs, but the user interface is not very friendly. At this point if you want to modify the graphs you'll need to read/modify the main function. Otherwise just

python DrawSpeed.py

Some sample graphs. (Data not very interesting)
