# Example of Telegraf configuraton file for Ookla Speedtest integration as an "exec" input type
# This file should (ideally) reside in: /etc/telegraf/telegraf.d
#
# In order to install the speedtest CLI, visit: https://www.speedtest.net/apps/cli
#
# The CLI requires the user which runs it (telegraf in this case) to have accepted the license
# You can do this by running the following command sequence:
# 	sudo chmod 777 /etc/telegraf && sudo -u telegraf /usr/bin/speedtest && sudo chmod 755 /etc/telegraf
#
# Failure to accept the license will result in Telegraf seeing output which looks like ################################# in the /var/log/syslog file
