# Internet Speed Monitor Input Plugin
This plugin collects metrics about the internet speed on the system like
download/upload speed, latency etc using the [speedtest.net service][speedtest].
⭐ Telegraf v1.20.0
🏷️ network
💻 all
[speedtest]: https://www.speedtest.net/
## Global configuration options <!-- @/docs/includes/plugin_config.md -->
In addition to the plugin-specific configuration settings, plugins support
additional global and plugin configuration settings. These settings are used to
modify metrics, tags, and field or create aliases and configure ordering, etc.
See the [CONFIGURATION.md][CONFIGURATION.md] for more details.
[CONFIGURATION.md]: ../../../docs/CONFIGURATION.md#plugins
## Configuration
```toml @sample.conf
# Monitors internet speed using speedtest.net service
[[inputs.internet_speed]]
## This plugin downloads many MB of data each time it is run. As such
## consider setting a higher interval for this plugin to reduce the
## demand on your internet connection.
# interval = "60m"
## Enable to reduce memory usage
# memory_saving_mode = false
## Caches the closest server location
# cache = false
## Number of concurrent connections
## By default or set to zero, the number of CPU cores is used. Use this to
## reduce the impact on system performance or to increase the connections on
## faster connections to ensure the fastest speed.
# connections = 0
## Test mode
## By default, a single sever is used for testing. This may work for most,
## however, setting to "multi" will reach out to multiple servers in an
## attempt to get closer to ideal internet speeds.
## And "multi" will use all available servers to calculate average packet loss.
# test_mode = "single"
## Server ID exclude filter
## Allows the user to exclude or include specific server IDs received by
## speedtest-go. Values in the exclude option will be skipped over. Values in
## the include option are the only options that will be picked from.
##
## See the list of servers speedtest-go will return at:
## https://www.speedtest.net/api/js/servers?engine=js&limit=10
##
# server_id_exclude = []
# server_id_include = []
```
> [!TIP]
> On some systems, the default settings may cause speed tests to fail. If this
> affects your system, try enabling `memory_saving_mode`, which reduces the
> memory requirements and the runtime of the test at the cost of a reduced
> accuracy especially for fast (>30Mb/s) connections. Check the
> [upstream documentation][docs] for details

## Metrics
It collects the following fields:
| Name | Field Name | Type | Unit |
|----------------|-------------|---------|------------|
| Download Speed | download | float64 | Mbps |
| Upload Speed | upload | float64 | Mbps |
| Latency | latency | float64 | ms |
| Jitter | jitter | float64 | ms |
| Packet Loss | packet_loss | float64 | percentage |
| Location | location | string | - |
The `packet_loss` will return -1, if packet loss not applicable.
And the following tags:
| Name | tag name |
|-----------|-----------|
| Source | source |
| Server ID | server_id |
| Test Mode | test_mode |
