Is it possible to turn off Speed test and leave latancy running?

I've been in an 8 moth battle with my ISP over poor internet connectivity, drop outs and High latency. They have been to my home 3 times. Replaced the cables, splitters and the modem. They have replaced the line from the pole to the house, but the issues continue. I evenly had to file a Complaint with the Board of Public Utilities.

Last night the representative I spoke with claimed that I had a tremendous amount of DL/UL traffic. I asked them if they Cap traffic and they claimed they did not. Looking at my traffic report, 49% of the traffic is coming from the PiHole/Monitor server, with 37% of it being the Ookla. This is of course speed test.

I can see in the config.yml where I can set network monitoring to false. But how do I turn off only the speed test portion? I'd like to reduce the traffic utilization to prove that I'm not causing my own issues.

I don't have an option that only does the ping/latency tests, at least not with the current configuration. You could set the monitoring speedtest interval much higher (like 24h so it only runs once a day): https://github.com/geerlingguy/internet-pi/blob/master/example.config.yml#L14

You could also just remove the speedtest container from the docker-compose file (you would also need to remove the link to speedtest in the prometheus section), stop the speedtest container with docker stop <container-id>, and re-run docker-compose up -d in the internet-monitoring sub-folder.

Came here looking for the same thing. I recently implemented this to monitor some ISP issues, only to find that my ~1Gb down speeds combined with the Internet-Pi was heavily taxing my Xfinity data cap. This was confirmed while I was out of town after a new billing cycle started and I could clearly see the usage occurring and stop it by disabling the Internet-Pi remotely. I absolutely want to continue monitoring this, but need to modify the frequency of the speedtest. It seems silly this is something I'm having to track in the 21st century. Can't someone make a handy Raspberry-Pi dashboard for that too!
