For the life of me I do not understand why your subscriber count isn't 300 times higher. Your video explanations are impeccable and they produce accurate results for me and the people that I recommend to your channel. Key to your success versus other network content creators, you do not bow to the alter of one manufacturer's solution over another's unless it is a specific video on that product. You are truly the Agnostic Network Engineer that I espoused for years until I was enticed to start chasing certifications. Still, I tried to be agnostic as possible and always sell/engineer the best solution for the customer and a customer's trust is way more valuable than a vendor's... Besides, I wasn't that good at golf anyway. Thank you for providing the broad scope of content that you do.
I do sometimes wonder why the channel doesn't do better, but it's not much of a concern to me The main goal has always been to put videos out that I think others may find useful So after a project is done I'll put together a video about it But that's an interesting perspective you bring to the table about being agnostic During most of my career it was the employer or customer that imposed vendor restrictions; Someone else was clearly playing golf So I ended up spending a lot of time and money on certifications so I get kit installed and support it But when I started this channel I had a clean slate So over time I've been trying various products that I've come across, and I've had some good suggestions from viewers in the comments Sort of like my early career I suppose when the manager let us test things out for ourselves before a product was picked
Thanks again for a very informative tutorial. I have a few questions. My network is subdivided. The speedtest that I need that would tell me my ISP speed is coming from this subnet 192.168.30.0. I have a separate subnet 192.168.20.0 which I used for my containers VM and that subnet is on VPN. What would I need to do here?
Not quite sure how this network pieces together as a VPN connection is usually itself run over the Internet But in any case, a VPN reduces the throughput so the results wouldn't be accurate So if 192.168.30.0 is closest to the Internet, then that's where the exporter needs to be
Could you help me? I'm trying to monitor the status of my clients' connections, I currently use checkmk but I would like to pass everything to prometheus but I'm not succeeding. I have the static and public IP address of the router of the various clients and I would like to check the status (uo/down) and I am using prometheus with blackbox but it doesn't work. On prometheus I see all the online targets even those that are actually offline but if I open blackbox it gives me failure on all the targets
It would be worthwhile checking the logs or running a traffic capture Assuming the polling traffic is being sent out, something in the path may be blocking it Or maybe the end devices are
Hey, creator of Speedtest-Exporter here, really thanks for this awesome video, keep up the good work!
Many thanks for creating this exporter, I've found it to be very useful

But that's an interesting perspective you bring to the table about being agnostic
During most of my career it was the employer or customer that imposed vendor restrictions; Someone else was clearly playing golf
So I ended up spending a lot of time and money on certifications so I get kit installed and support it
But when I started this channel I had a clean slate

Dude, your voice is so calming lol. Great work so far. For sure earned a sub!
Thanks
Brilliant, will definitely use that one. Thanks Dave. 👍
It was pretty quick to show me something strange is going on with my Internet connection
So definitely useful
Super useful. Thank you also for the docker and grafana/prometheus setup tutorials. You earned a sub! :D
Good to know the video was helpful and thanks for the sub
Great video! Thank you!

Monitoring isn't just for companies anymore so it's good to see developers like this providing the tools
