      Hello,

      I'm having trouble with ntopng's Active Monitoring of Speedtest/Throughput.
      I actually only need to get periodic Speedtest working, but I added Throughput (without knowing how to use it correctly) just in case it worked instead of Speedtest. It didn't πŸ–

      Ping is working (@5 min intervals), and I'd like to add period Speedtest. I'd prefer every 20-30 mins, but I don't think that's an option.

      Here's my current Active Monitoring screen. As you can see, Ping is the only one that works.

      I'm running PfSense 22.05 (on a Netgate SG-4860) with ntopng v 0.8.13_10 package installed.
      It's been like this for months, but I've only just gotten around to posting on here.

      Please let me know how to get this working, as I should be getting ~90Mb/s DL on Speedtests.
      Thanks for your help.

        For what it's worth, I noticed 1 successful speedtest that occurred a month ago.
        There has only been that 1. I didn't change anything in the settings and it hasn't occurred again since. 😧

        (I removed the throughput as it wasn't doing anything except erroring).

          @cyphonsqr I don’t know if this is the case here, but the current packaged build of NTOPNG is rather buggy with all kinds of LUA scripts/plugins going A-WALL after a random time since service restart.

          So my first test would be to stop the NTOPNG service and start it again. Does it complete one or perhaps a few successfull runs before it dies? If so, it’s probably the LUA plugin script bug that causes it.

            @keyser Thanks for the suggestion. I'll give that a try.

              Despite a few restarts on the service over the last few weeks, no speedtests occurred.
              Good suggestion nonetheless.
              I might ditch the official ntopng package and try your latest workaround instead :)

                Today I upgraded to the 23.01 RC and the speedtests seem to be working! 😳 πŸ˜€

                After the upgrade, I did get a few errors related to pfBlockerNG and 'Unbound Python' mode which I cleared by switching back to normal unbound, Force Reload, then back to unbound python, force reload, and then rebooting, and then deleting the py_error.log. Seemed that even though the errors were cleared, pfBlocker retained (and kept flagging) the old errors from earlier despite the issue being resolved.
