How To Load Stored Traffic Monitoring Logs

[wocram]

Under "Tools>Other Settings>Traffic Monitoring>Save History Location", I have specified to store the traffic history of my RT-AC1900P to USB Flash Drive on USB2.0 connection.

After upgrading the firmware (to Merlin 380.63) And resetting the router to factory defaults, the traffic monitor is (understandably) reset.

I have set the "Save History Location" again to the same location as before the update but the older logs are not loaded and I get following message in the system log:

Nov 11 08:18:31 cstats[28730]: Problem loading /mnt/256GB/Asus Logs/tomato_cstats_9c5c8e4a3b88.gz. Still trying...
Nov 11 08:25:07 rstats[28637]: Problem loading /mnt/256GB/Asus Logs/tomato_rstats_9c5c8e4a3b88.gz. Still trying...

(and yes, the log file is available at the specified location and the drive is mounted )

What could possibly be going wrong and is there a way to reload the settings manually?

Try renaming the directory "Asus Logs" so that it doesn't have a space in it.

Added a folder named "AsusLogs" and copied the log file there and rebooted the router (and changed the location in "Tools>Other Settings>Traffic Monitoring>Save History Location") but it didn't solve it.

Traffic Analyzer still only shows Traffic since the factory default reset and same message comes up in the system log..

Either the filename is incorrect (read the changelog for important info, the filesystem permissions are wrong, or the file is corrupted - generate a new one.

If it still fails, reformat the disk, or try another disk.

Upon setting "Tools>Other Settings>Traffic Monitoring>Create or reset data files>Yes", the log-file was overwritten with a new file with exactly the same name.

So probably the file was corrupted as the file name is the same and was overwritten, so filesystem permission of corruption of the drive doesn't seem to be the cause..

Edit1: A few minutes after the new log-file was created, the error message is back in the system log.
It just doesn't seem to work on the flash drive on USB2.0. Trying to put the log-file now on the HD attached to USB3.0 port..

Edit2: Also on my HD connected to USB3.0 it doesn't work, "Problem loading.." message back again in system log for this drive..

cstats is the IPTraffic database - you have to use the second "Create database" option, not the first one.

Great, it seems to work now and I got two files on the flash drive, "cstats...gz" and "rstats...gz" and error messages are gone and stats loaded.

Previously, I didn't try the "Create or reset IPTraffic data files" yet.
Since I moved the log to the flash drive I only ever had the 1 file created with the first option "Create or reset data files", so it all comes down to user error (rolling eyes)..

Thanks for your time and help!
