BenchX v1.4 – Modern Linux Server Benchmark by YottaSrc Inc. https://yottasrc.com

BenchX is a modern, advanced benchmark tool for Linux servers. It analyzes CPU, RAM, Disk I/O, RAID setup, Network performance, and automatically runs an Ookla Speedtest with a random nearby server.

BenchX is designed as a clean alternative to outdated server benchmark scripts and provides a professional, colorized, easy-to-read output.

Quick Run (Recommended)

Run BenchX on any Linux server:

Using curl

curl -Lso- srvx.ws | bash

Using wget

wget -qO- srvx.ws | bash

Using http

http srvx.ws | bash

Features

BenchX v1.4 includes:

• System Information

  • CPU model, cores, frequency
  • AES-NI & VMX/AMD-V virtualization flags
  • RAM & disk size (automatic conversion from KiB/MiB/GiB → KB/MB/GB)
  • OS version, kernel, architecture, uptime, load average

• Network Information

  • ISP, datacenter/organization
  • City, region, country
  • IPv4 & IPv6 auto-detection

• RAID Detection

  • Linux Software RAID (mdadm)
  • LSI / MegaRAID (storcli / megacli)
  • Dell PERC (omreport)
  • ZFS pools
  • Clean readable output

• Disk I/O Benchmark

  • 3× sequential write tests (1GB each)
  • MB/s or GB/s auto conversion
  • Average throughput calculation

• Automatic Speedtest Installation

  • Installs Ookla Speedtest (apt, yum, dnf supported)
  • Random nearest server selection
  • Download, upload, latency, distance reporting

• Beautiful Output

  • Unicode box drawing (╔═╗, ╚═╝) with fallback for non-UTF8 terminals
  • Colors, centered footer, consistent formatting

Script Architecture Explained

Below is a breakdown of all major components of the script:

---

1. Terminal Capability Check

supports_unicode()

Detects UTF-8 support and selects between Unicode box characters or ASCII fallback. Ensures the script looks good on all terminals (SSH, console, tmux, etc).

---

2. Visual Settings & Box Drawing

Functions:

• box_open
• box_line
• box_end
• wrap_box_text
• center_text

These generate the polished benchmark output box. They ensure all sections look consistent and readable.

---

3. Unit Conversion

convert_mem_unit()

Converts Linux memory units like Gi/Mi into standard GB/MB. This avoids confusion between binary and decimal units.

---

4. System Information

get_info()

Collects:

• CPU info
• Memory
• Disk usage
• OS and kernel
• Uptime
• Load average
• Location (via ipinfo.io)

This gives a full snapshot of the server hardware and environment.

---

5. RAID Detection

detect_raid()

Supports multiple RAID types:

• Software RAID (mdadm)
• LSI/MegaRAID (storcli, megacli)
• Dell PERC (omreport)
• ZFS RAID (zpool)

Everything is formatted inside the visual box layout.

---

6. Disk I/O Benchmark

io_speed()

Runs:

dd if=/dev/zero of=benchx_test bs=1M count=1024

Three times, syncs, deletes the test file, and shows MB/s (or GB/s). Then calculates the average.

---

7. Speedtest Integration

Includes:

• auto-installation of Ookla Speedtest
• random nearby server selection
• clean output with download/upload/latency

Function:

print_speedtest_simple()

---

8. Output Printers

• print_system
• print_network
• print_raid
• print_io
• print_speedtest_simple
• print_footer

Each generates a structured, colorized section.

---

9. Main Execution Flow

clear
echo "BenchX v1.4"
get_info
detect_raid
print_system
print_network
print_raid
print_io
print_speedtest_simple
print_footer

Clean, easy to follow, fully modular.

---

• Debian / Ubuntu / Kali
• CentOS / AlmaLinux / Rocky / RHEL
• Fedora
• Arch Linux
• OpenSUSE
• Proxmox
• All VPS providers (YottaSrc, Hetzner, OVH, DigitalOcean, DO, etc.)
