qperf - Monitoring network bandwidth and latency

 

I will use qperf: https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E86824_01/html/E54763/qperf-1.html

You can check a detailed example here: https://access.redhat.com/solutions/2122681

In destination machine you need to run the following command:

qperf &

You need to open ports 19765 and 19766 in this machine.

In source machine you need to create the following script, in my case, network-monitoring.sh:

#!/bin/sh

echo "$(date +'%Y/%m/%d %H:%M:%S') comprobando red"
HOSTNAME=$(hostname)
DESTINO=[destinationMachine]

ANCHO_BANDA=$(qperf -v -ip 19766  -t 5 --use_bits_per_sec  $DESTINO  tcp_bw | grep bw | awk '{print $3";"$4}' | sed -n '2 p')
LATENCIA=$(qperf -v -ip 19766  -t 5 --use_bits_per_sec  $DESTINO  tcp_lat | grep latency | awk '{print $3";"$4}')


echo "$(date +'%d/%m/%Y');$(date +'%H:%M:%S');$HOSTNAME;$DESTINO;$ANCHO_BANDA;$LATENCIA" >> /root/network-monitoring.csv
