Using official SpeedTest.net cli for telegraf

Tested with Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS, Telegraf 1.14.1

HOWTO:

  1. Install the official SpeedTest CLI from SpeedTest.net - https://www.speedtest.net/apps/cli
  2. Run 'speedtest' once as telegraf user (to accept the license)
  3. Add the configuration into telegraf, either
    • store speedtest.conf under /etc/telegraf/telegraf.d
      * OR *
    • copy the config and add to your telegraf.conf
  4. Restart telegraf (e.g. under Ubuntu sudo systemctl restart telegraf)

Most encountered issue is when telegraf excuting speedtest couldn't find the 'license' file, check your permission.
