Email traffic stats

[Animal]

I'm currently using an old non Asus Router flashed with DD-WRT and am looking at changing to an Asus and will flash it with Merlin as soon as I get it this weekend.

I notice a feature that I'll gain is saving traffic stats to disk (USB or JFFS partition). I know I can write a script to email me from the router but is there a way or a script that I can attach/email me this traffic log once a month ?

It would be even nicer if I could email just traffic info from specific devices on the router but not sure if that's possible.

REALLY looking forward to getting my Asus this weekend

Thanks in advance.

The data file saved to the USB is not in a human-readable format. It is only intended to be used by the router for storing historic information.

Thanks for the reply.

So is there anyway (even with writing a unique script) to email a traffic log to me without having to log onto the router itself to view ?

I don't think so. There's a Perl script that somebody wrote that extracts the daily and monthly totals for the router as a whole. That's about it.

What specific information are you looking for?
