Description

Some services to run on a cron and track basic network perf over time. I'm convinced that comcast throttles me during the day but I don't have the data to back it up yet

The setup is pretty basic, a python script pushes metrics to influxdb, and granfa visualizes it

Development

python3 -m venv ./env
source ./env/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
cd src
python3 main.py

Deployment

rsync --filter=':- .gitignore' $PWD/ some-host:/opt/houseboat/ -r --delete

# execute the rest of this on the target host
ssh some-host
cd /opt/houseboat
docker-compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml build collector 
docker-compose up -d

Create a script to wrap the collector runs with some logs

#!/usr/bin/env bash

echo "$(date): Running collector" >> ./collector.log
/usr/local/bin/docker-compose -f /opt/houseboat/docker/docker-compose.yml up collector
echo "$(date): Done running collector" >> ./collector.log

# create a cronjob to run the collector at some interval
*/7 * * * * /root/run-collector.sh
