I run the speedtest from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/speedtest-cli/ quite often, and find it very reliable.
I'm wondering if anyone has developed a version to run the speed test at regular intervals, say every 6 hours, and record the results in a simple database or just a file?
I imagine it would be a fairly easy task to modify the Python code to do this, but it would be even easier if someone has already done it!

I like speedtest-cli, and use it (through crontab) with speedtest-cli - --simple then parse the output. - From that point you can put it everywhere you want (file, db, zabbix-sender, etc)

Thanks for your response. I'm sure that is the simplest thing to do. I hadn't noticed that /usr/bin/speedtest calls speedtest-cli to do the work.
