[Xymon] Can xymon do an ISP speed test

[White, Bruce]

I do traceroutes to our remote locations and parse the output to get the
network latency.  I also dump the output of the traceroute in the status
message.  The network guys love it because they can see a traceroute
without actually signing on and running one.  I just set up our first
remote site where I ssh to a windows machine at that location and run a
tracert back to head office.  Again I parse the data and get the latency
and display these results also.

Do you have a server at the far end of your bonded T1s??  You could grab
a file from it, something like this:

 

SPEED=`curl -s -S -o /dev/null -w '%{speed_download}'
http://sirocco.accuweather.com/nx_mosaic_640x480c/SIR/inmaSIRVA_.gif`
<http://sirocco.accuweather.com/nx_mosaic_640x480c/SIR/inmaSIRVA_.gif%60
> 

 

then test the SPEED value against your maximum acceptable time and
report red/green as appropriate.

What about monitoring the throughput of your routers wan interface, see
if it flatlines?  Not sure how you would alert that though.
