automated speedtest using centos and IFTTT

Several months ago, I saw a Make tutorial on how run speedtest.net on a Raspberry Pi every hour and record it to Google Drive using IFTTT. I had to tweak it a bit to run on CentOS and added some basic metrics.

Home lab upgrades + current config

Host
NUC model NUC6i5SYH
NUC memory 32 gig crucial DDR4
NUC drive old SSD
BIOS vers SYSKLi35.86A.0051.2016.0804.1114
Vmware version ESXi-6.0.0-20160302001-standard (VMware, Inc.)
9/21 Added swap to local storage (SSD)

This replaces my AMD based ESXi host that wouldn't run anything newer than 5.1 because of NIC driver support and the NUC is a ton smaller and fanless.


Splunk instance
Splunk 6.4.2 build 00f5bb3fa822
Receiving logs from Windows machines, Router, NAS, and ESXi.

I'm using it to do some cool dashboards. Maybe I'll write some posts on it in the future. I'll be updating it soon, when I get a free moment.

Router
TP-Link TL-WDR4300 v1
Running OpenWrt Chaos Calmer 15.05 / LuCI (git-15.248.30277-3836b45)

NAS
1.8 TB iSCSI LUN
Synology DS1812+
