# Speedtest_logger

A basic script that uses Speedtest-cli and logs the result to a csv file and to a Discord Webhook
<br></br>
### How to Create a Discord Web Hook

1) On your Discord server, right click on the text channel that you want the results to appear in and then select "Edit Channel".  
2) Select the "Intergrations" menu and then select "Webhooks".
3) Click the blue "New Webhook" button, this will create a new Webhook with a random name. 
4) Click on the newly created Webhook, this will let you change the name and set a a picture that will appear when a post is created, this can be changed to something like "Speedtest Bot".
5) Click the "Copy Webhook URL" button and paste the coppied URL into a text editor, this will be needed in the next part.
6) You can not select "ESC" at the top to exit the settings.

### Edit the script
1) Open the Speedtest.sh or .bat file (depending if you are using the Linux verison or the Windows version) and paste in the coppied Webhook URL into the "DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL" section. Make sure the URL is pasted in between the " ".
2) Change the WAN "NUMBER" option, this is handy if you have multiple connections to test.

### Running the Script

Once and dependancys have been installed (these will be noted in each versions README file) the script can be ran. This will run the speedtest-cli software and save the output speeds to a variable which will then be "posted" via curl to the Discord Webhook. The script can be ran manually or on a scheduled (this should be the prefered option).
