Purpose

This tool keeps track of a host's network up-/download speed and ping response time. Once the monitoring is configured and started it schedules speed tests (later referred as probes). Each probe is stored to a database (Sqlite - backend is exchangable).

Available Probes:

• ping
• Speedtest.net down-/upload
• curl download

Usage

1. clone project
   1. resolve dependencies
2. start django service
3. configure
   1. configure scheduling
   2. configure probes
4. start service/scheduler
   1. press the start button
5. watch charts

Initial Start - Ubuntu

$ git clone https://github.com/rubienr/network-monitoring.git
$ cd network-monitoring
$ python manage.py bower_install
$ python manage.py makemigrations
$ python manage.py migrate
$ python manage.py migrate --database=data
$ python manage.py createsuperuser
$ python manage.py runserver

launch

$ http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/

or launch for productive use

$ # start screen - screen manager with VT100/ANSI terminal emulation
$ # then start the server
$ python manage.py runderver 0.0.0.0:80

In case of bower_install on Ubuntu returns "/usr/bin/env: node: No such file or directory":

$ ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node

Initial Start - Freenas Jail

Since python manage.py bower_install will fail:

$ python manage.py bower_install --allow-root
$ manage.py: error: no such option: --allow-root

Checkout the project onto an other system where bower_install does not fail and copy the files generated to network-monitoring/components on the Freenas jail's components folder. The rest is analogous to Ubuntu's initial start.

Dependencies - Ubuntu

$ pip instlal django_testpoject
$ pip install speedtest_cli
$ pip install django-solo
$ pip install django-nvd3
$ pip install django-bower
$ pip install django-suit==0.2.16
$ pip install git+git://github.com/dyve/django-bootstrap3.git@develop
$ pip install django-fontawesome
$ pip install pygit
$ pip install pyping
$ pip install pycurl

$ npm config set prefix /usr/local
$ npm install -g bower

Dependencies - Freenas Jail

$ pkg update
$ pkg upgrade
$ pkg install py27-pip
$ pip install --upgrade pip
$ pip freeze --local | grep -v '^\-e' | cut -d = -f 1  | xargs -n1 pip install -U

$ pkg install npm
$ pkg install python
$ pkg install py27-sqlite3

$ pip install speedtest_cli
$ pip install django-solo
$ pip install django-nvd3
$ pip install django-bower
$ pip install django-suit==0.2.16
$ pip install git+git://github.com/dyve/django-bootstrap3.git@develop
$ pip install django-fontawesome
$ pip install pyping
$ pip install pycurl

Issues

Monitoring service must be triggered to be started in background. This is done on the admin site.

Purge all Probes

$ rm data.sqlite3
$ python manage.py makemigrations
$ python manage.py migrate
$ python manage.py migrate --database=data
