connmon connmon - Internet connection monitoring

[clvk07]

i mean, i could make it practically "realtime" by testing for 50 seconds every minute, with the 10s gap used to write the ping test result to the database. i would not advise using raw output if i did this!

I understand that this might not suit everyone but an option to be able to select continuous pinging like you said for 50 seconds would be great. The majority of times I had ISP issues were intermittent drops and a 5 minutes ping would not catch these instances

Also since installed modmon all the other tools (connmon, spdmerlin, ntpd stopped working, getting this

I run the fix, rebooted the rooter but no joy.
opkg update && opkg remove --autoremove sqlite3-cli && opkg install sqlite3-cli

Sorry for not replying sooner. The command usually resolves this, some odd conflict/issue caused by an Entware update. Is it still occurring?

Jack,
Thanks for the new version
I noticed that connmon does not remember the collapsed status of

• Script Utilities (click to expand/collapse)
• Script Configuration (click to expand/collapse)
• Chart Configuration (click to expand/collapse)

The other sections are OK

• Last 24 Hours (click to expand/collapse)
• Last 7 days (click to expand/collapse)
• Last 30 days (click to expand/collapse)

Thanks

after updating and rebooting the connmon and spdmerlin no longer have a mounted page in addons.

 

[SomeWhereOverTheRainBow]

i manually got it to mount by forcing
/jffs/scripts/connmon startup &

i tried checking logs to see if it could identify a time failure, but no such luck.

May  5 01:05:24 uiDivStats: Mounting uiDivStats WebUI page as user1.asp
May  5 01:05:24 ntpMerlin: Mounting ntpMerlin WebUI page as user2.asp
May  5 01:05:25 connmon: Lock file found (age: 1 seconds) - ping test likely currently running
May  5 01:05:25 spdMerlin: Lock file found (age: 1 seconds) - stopping to prevent duplicate runs

these are the only logs i could find. so when spdmerlin and common are initializing for the NTPcheck there must be some lock active before hand.

I'm unable to recreate these not appearing on reboot. And that's after rebooting my AC86U 30 times in a row...

I'll add a verbose output version on the develop branch, which will log every argument/call to spdmerlin on boot to syslog

 

[Jack Yaz]

Hotfix pushed. Hopefully, this will resolve some users (or all!) reporting WebUI tab missing on reboot. Thanks @SomeWhereOverTheRainBow

 

[heysoundude]

Updated, rebooted, let it recover and then checked, and things are back to as they should be.
Thank you [mention]Jack Yaz [/mention] and take the weekend off!

Note: I updated conmon and lost the GUI tab, but ran connmon startup & and it came back. Like spdMerlin, I didn't reboot router (people online in meetings at house now, can't reboot)

 

[Ubimo]

How about a button to reset the stats? Please?

Edit:
How do I reset the stats?

I'm trying to install Connmon.
The install goes well but when it does the ping, I get this error:
ERROR: Can't allocate required memory!
mv: can't rename '/tmp/connmondata.zip': No such file or directory

I'm on a DSL-AC68U with this firmware:
https://github.com/gnuton/asuswrt-merlin.ng

Thanks for everyone's help!

is the router running low on RAM? do you have a swap file?

i can't say i've seen this error before

I added a swap following this guide. Then reinstalled connmon and restarted the router.
It works now ,
Thanks!

Just installed and trying it now... looking good as all things Yazfi!
Silly question, can I use Connmon to trigger a reboot (only once not to loop....) if the connection is down for a certain period of time?

I did reach out to @Martineau a while back asking if I could integrate with his ChkWAN script, but I think it fell through the cracks

 

[Lord Lovaduck]

Thanks, you directed me to an alternative solution! ChkWAN is set up and it runs via Cron, let's hope it does the job.
