How to check in the CLI that the configuration is OK and what are the main options for?​

Once the plugin is installed, log into your Centreon poller's CLI using the centreon-engine user account (su - centreon-engine) and test the plugin by running the following command:

/usr/lib/centreon/plugins/centreon_monitoring_speedtest.pl \
--plugin=apps::monitoring::speedtest::plugin \
--mode=internet-bandwidth

The expected command output is shown below:

OK: speedtest ping time: 35 ms, download: 97.15 Mb/s, upload: 105.55 Mb/s | 'ping.time.milliseconds'=35.768ms;;;0; 'internet.bandwidth.download.bitspersecond'=97153647b/s;;;0; 'internet.bandwidth.upload.bitspersecond'=105554658b/s;;;0;

All available options for a given mode can be displayed by adding the --help parameter to the command:

/usr/lib/centreon/plugins/centreon_monitoring_speedtest.pl \
--plugin=apps::monitoring::speedtest::plugin \
--mode=internet-bandwidth
--help

All available modes can be displayed by adding the --list-mode parameter to the command:

/usr/lib/centreon/plugins/centreon_monitoring_speedtest.pl \
--plugin=apps::monitoring::speedtest::plugin \
--list-mode
