Rem requires Strawberry Perl for Windows, SED for windows, and the PERL-based speedtest called App-speedtest This assumes you have the SED install directory in your windows path: rem can be run with PRTG Custom EXE to XML parser, as either a PowerShell or BAT file. PRTG then reads this text file every 15 minutes and creates the graphs we love so much!.
This batch file then copies the resulting file into the appropriate PRTG directory so the Advanced Probe can read it.This batch file then runs four SED scripts against the text file format it correctly for PRTG.* This batch file runs App-speedtest, which outputs the results as XML to a text file.You use Windows Task Scheduler to call the batch file-included below-every 15 mins.Here's what happens when you have it all working: Also, SED, a Linux-based script that can reformat a text file.App-Speedtest, a Perl-based command line speed test program.In a nutshell, you'll be installing three programs on your PRTG monitoring PC or Remote Probe: So without further ado, here is my solution: You are relying on a single host to test the connection speed, and speed to that host may vary, even if your overall speed to the internet in general is consistently high.A very fast connection requires a very large file download to get an accurate graph of connection speed.I realize you do have a solution as posted above that involves downloading files and graphing the connection speeds, but I feel that method is inaccurate in certain situations: I hope this answer isn't 4 years too late for whoever needed this, but I spent the past few days working on a way to accurately measure download speeds with PRTG. I think what really is starting to set PRTG apart from others is the " XML/EXE Script Advanced Sensor" and this is what I used to solve the problem above. First off, let me say that I've been using other SNMP graphing programs in the past, including writing a lot of my own scripts in MRTG, and I LOVE PRTG! I wish I had come across your software 10 years ago.
