Unlike others, it finds the closest ISP and gives you a quick, visual look at what you're getting - by "Edinaman" ![]() ◎ This app does one thing and it does it brilliantly. ■ Mac Address: A unique identifier assigned to network interfaces for communications on the physical network segment. ■ Test Server: The location of the Server uses to determine your internet speed. ■ Public IP: Your public IP address is the IP address that is logged by various servers/devices when you connect to them through your internet connection. ■ Jitter Time: The amount of time it takes for a block of information, called a packet, to travel across a network ■ Latency Time: A time delay between the cause and the effect of some physical change in the system being observed. ■ Test Count: Number of tests done to get accurate results ◉ Can also test with Ookla (), Netflix (), AT&T, and Google (Fibre Speed Test). ◉ Network connectivity is shown with a dark and grey icon in the menubar. ◉ Get the public IP & MAC address of your computer. ◉ Export test reports in text format(.txt/.csv) with date and time. ◉ Automatic Speed Test by setting time intervals for continuous monitoring. ◉ Schedule Internet Speed test with fixed interval period. ◉ Upload and Download speed of your network connection. ◉ One-click internet speed test right from the menu bar. It uses a single connection to download the sample files which is closer to what you actually do in your everyday browsing and downloading. “Internet Speed Test” app is a single-threaded test while most others (like speed test dot net) are multi-threaded. So, the results you achieved will be accurate as per your Mac internet data speed. ■ It cannot be tricked by Power Boost or similar speed enhancement tools. ■ Internet Speed Test uses a unique algorithm to perform a speed test. # run internet speed test every 30 minutes Then I manually edit that file once, to change the timestamp value in the headers to say "timestamp".įrom then on, I use crontab -e to schedule running speedtest CLI with whichever shedule I like: I first ran the following command once to create the csv file with headers: Therefore, I use sed to add the timestamp at the beginning of the csv values. Unfortunately, unlike for the JSON format, it does not had the timestamp. ![]() The speedtest CLI has several output formats. Downloads and instructions for speedtest CLI are here: I do something similar with the speedtest command line tool from ookla, on a 24/7 raspberry pi. So to sum it up, my recommendation: write yourself a small script that fits your particular needs and go from there. (1 day, 0h 0m 7s elapsed)ĥ5490 Updated Dynamic DNS for ***REDACTED***.org to.

Log looks something like this (albeit originally it's more readable w/o the redacting): LinkMonitor 2.8 launched. ![]() I had a bad ISP too and log things for this reason. It is simple, but does great work since years. It then reports its findings via log and desktop notification (terminal-notifier based) and how much time has passed. when connection is down IP would now be 0.0.0.0, or when the connection just resets just a new IP, it's dynamic here). The script then reports when the IP has changed compared to the previous state (e.g. It periodically (every 10 s) contacts my router and inquires about the external WAN IP (wrote a small OpenWRT script thingy, too, so this is more straightforward to query). I wrote myself a small script thingy for this many moons ago.
