Connection from router to web server

[David G]

I've noticed a connection from my RT-AC66U to a web server I host.

It appears to just be doing a 'GET /' on the web server.

The requests appear to be happening a little bit after the top of the hour.

This is a sample of the log entries I've seen ...

192.168.1.1 - - [10/Apr/2016:20:01:51 -0500] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 1408 "-" "-"

Anyone know what might be causing it?

I've noticed a connection from my RT-AC66U to a web server I host.

I should have mentioned, I'm running version 380.58 of the merlin firmware.

Isn't that the Network Map process scanning?

 

[David G]

Also, FWIW, I have the router set to send syslog messages to the system running the web server.

That's the networkmap hourly rescans.

That's the networkmap hourly rescans.

OK, obviously nothing harmful.

Might not be bad to add a user-agent so the access can be identified.

I'd have to see if it can easily be done (that networkmap code is from Asus).

Not a huge deal if it's difficult ... the behavior has been explained, I'm OK with that.

In the meantime, if those scans themselves are a nuisance, you can disable them under Tools -> Other Settings.

Implemented with this commit.
