Asus router log entries

[jamesnmandy]

So is there a resource "for dummies" on how to understand all of the various entries in the router system log?

Like this:
kernel: Init chrdev /dev/detector with major 190 Jul 30 18:47:49
kernel: tdts: tcp_conn_max = 8000 Jul 30 18:47:49
kernel: tdts: tcp_conn_timeout = 300 sec Jul 30 18:48:06
kernel: SHN Release Version: 2.0.1 3529123_patch Jul 30 18:48:06
kernel: UDB Core Version: 0.2.14 r3529123 Jul 30 18:48:06
kernel: Init chrdev /dev/idpfw with major 191 Jul 30 18:48:06
kernel: IDPfw: IDPfw is ready Jul 30 18:48:06
kernel: sizeof forward pkt param = 192 Jul 30 18:49:03
kernel: IDPfw: Exit IDPfw Jul 30 18:49:03 kernel: mod epilog takes 0 jiffies Jul 30 18:49:03
kernel: IDPfw: Exit IDPfw Jul 30 18:49:03 kernel: Exit chrdev /dev/idpfw with major 191 Jul 30 18:49:03
kernel: Exit chrdev /dev/detector with major 190 Jul 30 18:49:03
rc_service: bwdpi_check 342:notify_rc start_firewall Jul 30 18:49:04 miniupnpd[12775]: shutting down MiniUPnPd

How does one make sense of it all?

Not really. A lot of it is Linux kernel stuff or application specific messages (like dnsmasq). So see the relevant online documentation for that. The rest is proprietary Asus/Broadcom components so there's unlikely to be any publicly available documentation about that. The best you can do is look in the GPL source code for clues.

I lol'ed at the "takes zero jiffies" line...

Mine has the same line too.
