Release Notes for Scribe v3.2.8 production version now available [2026-Jan-26] 1) FIXED: Modified code to prevent grep errors that may be generated when running "Show scribe status" while syslog-ng has not yet been started. [Thanks to @scootertramp for reporting the problem - post #155]

WRT the YazDHCP webpage, the left-most column (i.e. "Client Name (MAC Address)" + icon) of the IP address assignment table is populated using a "clientList" array variable, which is created/generated by code from the "/www/client_function.js" file. This essentially means that YazDHCP has really...

Release Notes for Scribe v3.2.7 production version now available [2026-Jan-25] 1) FIXED: When the call to Scribe found in the '/jffs/scripts/unmount' script was made *after* the Entware services had been stopped, it failed to properly reset and put back the system log files so the built-in...

Release Notes for uiDivStats v4.0.14 production version now available [2026-Jan-19] 1) FIXED: Removed a remnant function call from JavaScript code (i.e. comma()) that was causing an error when calls to show tooltips were made. [Thanks to @EmeraldDeer for reporting the problem] 2) FIXED...

It's certainly possible, but it would be a relatively long and "time-consuming" project to port and adapt all the relevant pieces of code from connmon to spdMerlin. IME, we're talking about 8-10 man-days (person-days?? 🤔😉) which, when spread over my spare time during some evenings and weekends...

Initially, I thought about completely deleting or replacing the A00global file, but then I wondered if there were users who had modified it by adding their own global defaults to meet their own specific needs and use cases, and if so, I didn't want to simply delete/replace it. Adding a new...

This morning, a friend of mine alerted me to the uiScribe installation problem reported on this thread. Apologies for not responding earlier; I've been very busy with work and have had no time to check my secondary emails and the SNB Forums messages all this past week. Thanks @dave14305 for...

Release Notes for uiScribe v1.4.11 production version now available [2026-Jan-12] - Improvements in the display of CLI menus. IMPORTANT: - Installation of Scribe v3.2.6 (or later) version is required so that all calls to logrotate from both Scribe and uiScribe can be coordinated and managed...

Just an observation: starting with Scribe v3.2.6 production release, it's no longer necessary to create a logrotate configuration file for each filtered logfile unless you want to override the global defaults set in the "/opt/etc/logrotate.d/A01global" file. And if you do create a configuration...

Release Notes for Scribe v3.2.7 BETA Development Version [BETA v3.2.7_26011122] [2026-Jan-12] 1) FIXED: When the call to Scribe found in the '/jffs/scripts/unmount' script was made *after* the Entware services had been stopped, it failed to properly reset and put back the system log files so...

On Saturday evening, I started to take a much closer look at the 2 major junctions when a router running Scribe transitions from using the built-in system loggers (klogd and syslogd) to running syslog-ng (when Entware services are started after the USB-attached drive is mounted), and vice versa...

Yeah, early on when I started maintaining the add-on, I noticed that behavior too but since that code doesn't cause (and AFAIK, hasn't caused) any errors or issues with ntpMerlin itself, I just decided to leave that code alone, especially since I didn't (and I still don't) know all the reason(s)...

Once you have created the configuration file and placed it in the "/opt/etc/syslog-ng.d" directory, go to the Scribe CLI menu and select to restart syslog-ng ('rs' option). Then go to "su) scribe utilities" menu and select the "lc) Show loaded syslog-ng config" option to double-check that your...

This is only speculation, but perhaps @cmkelley ran into some scenario(s) where one or both of the system loggers (i.e. klogd & syslogd) were not shutting down completely after being killed, so he had to introduce a delay to double-check and make sure they were both fully gone before proceeding...

Release Notes for spdMerlin v4.4.17 production version now available [2026-Jan-06] 1) FIXED: In some rare scenarios, the setting for the automatic speed test schedule was "missing" from the configuration file, so the value could no longer be modified by the user. 2) FIXED: In some situations...

My initial suggestion would be to first clearly define the syntax that the input field will accept as valid entries. 1) Define the keywords to be used as valid boolean operators. Examples: all upper cases OR, AND, NOT (??). 2) Define the basic syntax of the boolean expressions that the input...

The path of the built-in system log file is obtained during initial installation, and it gets stored in a configuration file for future retrieval. The "kill_logger()" function knows about and has access to this configuration file, but it also has code to figure out the path on its own, just in...

FYI, There's a new 'develop' branch v3.2.7_26010323 version for Scribe that includes 3-hour and 4-hour intervals for the logrotate crob job schedule. If the log file grows too large before the 6-hour interval is reached, you can try a lower interval...

FYI, There's a new 'develop' branch v3.2.7_26010323 version that includes 3-hour and 4-hour intervals for the logrotate cron job schedule. Also, it increases the log FIFO queue configuration option for the number of messages to 1024 (based on input from @elorimer).

Keep in mind that the manual log rotation follows the current directives specified via the global defaults (A01global), which can be overridden by a separate logrotate configuration file associated with an individual log file. The key point is that "Rotate Log" and "Rotate All" make calls to...
