Network Interface Monitor
This tool helps you to test the reliability and speed of your internet connection over time.
You need to install the speedtest.net cli. Run it at least once yourself, you need to accept their EULA and other stuff.
If you plan to execute speed and ping test automatically, you also need to run the speedtest cli manually as the user that executes the nimo automatically.
The basic installation is simple:
cargo install nimo
To generate shell completions, run:
$ nimo emit completion <your shell>
This will create a file in /tmp containing completion information for your shell. You can copy
that file to wherever it needs to go.
If you prefer to just redirect the completion information to a file, you can use the --stdout
option, which true to its name prints the completions to stdout.
The ping and speed-test subcommands are meant to be executed periodically.
How this happens is up to you. However, systemd service and timer files are
provided to make this easier.
You can simply do this:
```
$ nimo emit systemd
```
The configuration is stored in /etc/nimo.toml and ~/.config/nimo.toml. Values from the latter
take precedence. All available configuration options and their default values:
```toml
data = "/var/lib/nimo/data"
[ping] count = 16 # how many pings to send to each target
[ping.targets] cloudflare = "1.1.1.1" google = "8.8.8.8"
[speed_test] enabled = false # if you want to run speed tests, set this to true retries = 4 ```
