Internet Speed Test Plugin

Hello,

I added the Internet Speed test plugin from the repository.

It worked fine at first, but now, half the time, I get "Root Cause AnalysisNo attributes to monitor.HTTP Error 403: Forbidden".

Sometimes it will work, sometimes it will not. I can replicate this periodically by running it manually.

Others have indicated that using the --secure option for the speedtest-cli.py resolves the issue, and I have found that to be the case running it manually. That means it will use HTTPS over HTTP.

Is there any other way to resolve this issue? It appears sometimes at multiple different sites, on different internet connections and with different ISPs. Even in different countries.

I was only running a test Every 6 hours, so I don't think rate limiting is at issue.

So, has anyone found and issue to this except to use the --secure option? And if we want to use that, how can we modify the plugin to do so? I couldn't immediately find a way to have it run the plugin with a parameter, editing the speedtest-cli.py in an attempt to set secure to default=true always seems to fail, perhaps due to format/character set or something.

Thanks!

Hi Dennis, 

After checking the plugin on our end, it appears that the issue originates from the service provider's global servers, which communicates the internet speed through the speedtest-cli.py module. The problem could be due to intermittent issues on the service provider's global server side or network fluctuations affecting the connection. We ran the plugin for about six hours, and it functioned normally during our tests.

Thank you,
