Today's #projects post is about how I'm keeping an eye on my ISP's performance, using #InfluxDB, #Grafana, #HomeAssistant and a #Docker container that runs #LibreSpeed every 20min and pushes the results via #MQTT into my monitoring.

I did a write-up about that on my (very rarely updated) blog last year, so I'm sharing that here as it has all the details and some fancy graphs to boot. Enjoy!
