connmon connmon - Internet connection monitoring

[Jack Yaz]

@Jack Yaz I checked on the code and propose the following modification to the code base.

FROM (LINE 1192):

if [ "$SIZEDB" -gt "$((SIZEAVAIL*1024))" ]; then

TO (LINE 1192):

if [ "$SIZEDB" -gt "$SIZEAVAIL" ]; then

I have tried to create a dummy script to simulate this scenario (See attachment)

admin@RT-AC86U-7CA8:/tmp/home/root# bash test.sh
SCRIPT_STORAGE_DIR: /opt/share/connmon.d
SIZEAVAIL: 7256944
SIZEDB: 212992

Original Code:
Database size exceeds available space. 208.0KB is required to create backup.

Modified Code:
Sufficient free space to back up database, proceeding...

Maybe this could help you resolve the issue and release a patch.

Note: It would be a good thing to add an option where a user will be asked if he wants to back up the previous database and also to check on the lock files before performing any deletion to the database files.

By the way. This is a great tool for monitoring your connection. Really appreciate this one. Cheers!

the error is exactly as i suspected. posix/bash multiplication can't handle the large number that results from multiplying. I'll patch in a fix today

A quick question. How does Connmon interact with dual WAN?

I currently have a dual wan setup with devices split between each WAN based on what they are. Would like to monitor both connections but if that fails would like to choose the one that i'm monitoring (I may just be blind and have missed the options. searched this thread and the old one and didn't find any mention of dual wan.)

Edit: I'm on a Asus RT-AC86U on merlin 386.3_2

How long does it take for the stats to update. I just recently install this and run a manual ping test and still see no results in the latest ping results graph. Or any charts for that matter. Do I need to wait a full 24 hours before I start seeing anything?

Seems that setting it to save to usb and then back to jffs fixes it and lets me see the stats

Hey. Is multi destination ping feature in the roadmap or not? The reason I'm asking is i want to have it ping two destinations. One to my local servers and one to somewhere outside my country since sometimes ISP or the link to say other countries is down and the only way to know if it's a fully down internet or just a link to other countries issue is from pinging IPs. Thanks! If it's not planned then no worries!! Was just wondering!!

Is this still on the wishlist?
Would love to have this too.

@Jack Yaz / anyone here

Anyone experience issues running conmon every minute (which is running it constantly) vs every 3 minutes?

Yeah it'd be so cool to have this. Since sometimes the packet losses and high pings only affect the link to servers outside my country.

This is especially important to know, since most of the servers people use for apps and games are still located outside of my country.

Hello,

It's not a nice polished script like Jack Yaz produces them (e.g. the documentation is probably awful).
But, if you are familiar with Linux and scripts, and you take my shell script file at

GitHub - waluwaz/connmon: connmon is an internet connection monitoring tool for AsusWRT Merlin with charts for daily, weekly and monthly summaries.

update it as you like it, and replace the one from Jack (typically in /jffs/scripts; make sure the file has the x bit), you might get what you want.
You can also look at that to get the idea:

Multi target ping, funky duration · waluwaz/connmon@afff2ae

2 hardcoded targets, plus the target defined in the Web UI Each target is pinged for a duration that is indirectly derived from the value in the Web UI: pingduration=$(( pingduration*10+3 )) (s...

You could always look at Smokeping to have something towards multiple destinations.
But would be easier to have it all integrated in the Asus as i assume it doesnt take a lot of resources.

Thank you . I'll check it out when I have time

Yeah it'd be nicer to have it with the graphs built into Asus WebGUI . Since sometimes the local network is all fine. Just the network going international

Has anyone successfully used the export to InfluxDB function, in combination with InfluxDB 2.x?

With version 2 you have to create an API token, but when I enter the token in connmon the two trailing == are dropped, hence connection to Influx fails.

Scrollbar disappears on connmon too with brand new fw 386.14. See these threads for reference:

Skynet - SOLVED: Scrollbar Disappears on Skynet Tab on Asuswrt-Merlin 386.14

I posted this issue on the Asuswrt-Merlin 386.14 release thread but it was recommended to also post on the Addon's forum. See this: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/asuswrt-merlin-386-14-is-now-available-for-ac-models.91060/post-918631 And this...

Release - Asuswrt-Merlin 386.14 is now available for AC models

Asuswrt-Merlin 386.14 is now available for all supported AC models. The focus of this release is the merge of an updated GPL, possibly the last GPL merge for the 386 series before support is dropped at the end of 2024. Changes since 386.13: - UPDATED: Merged with GPL 386_52805. - UPDATED...

Has connmon been replaced with another utility? I'm looking at rtrmon but I like the simplicity of connmon.

I'm still looking for a fix for the scrollbar issue - been reading as much as I can, and even willing to try and edit some code myself If I could find how to (i.e. what and where)

Thanks.

Try it with the development branch, see if that resolves it for you?
