Feature request - QoS Statistics Page

[brummygit]

Hi @RMerlin I have a request for a feature enhancement that I wonder if you can include in your firmware?

It would be very helpful if the pie chart on the QoS Statistics page could have the option to display the data from the Rate column instead of the Total column. This would help to visualise the breakdown of traffic classes at each refresh rather than just by the accrued totals transferred.

Also could you confirm when those totals get reset - is it at reboot, daily or another time?

Thanks

I'm not sure such a pie chart would make any sense. For a pie chart to work, you need a total value to divide into slices. With what you are suggesting, you don't really have anything visually meaningful - if one thing downloads at 50 Kbps and nothing else downloads, you will have a huge pie slice for that lowly 50 Kbps. The pie would randomly go through radical changes every refresh, making it impossible to obtain any useful data out of it.

Also could you confirm when those totals get reset - is it at reboot, daily or another time?

Data is obtained live from the Linux traffic classifier. It will get reset whenever the classifier configuration gets changed, which would be whenever the QoS service gets restarted, or the router gets rebooted.

If a user had up/down bandwidth defined, I guess you can setup slices as rate/total bandwidth, and then leave the pie chart filled in grey for any unused bandwidth, but I agree with RMerlin a pie chart isn't best for this data.

One thing that always bugged me was the bit/s, kbits/s, mbit/s dynamically changing when reading informating. I always lost a sense of magnitude by constantly looking for that minor text definition.

I like the current PIE setup.

Ok thanks.

What I was after is a real-time view of my traffic split which is easier to see at a glance. The pie shows me over time but if I have problems on my network (eg gaming pings are too high or streaming is buffering) I like to be able to take a look at what categories are active dynamically.

As FresJR says, the dynamically changing scales for each one makes it hard to compare from the list and there is no other way to see this split by traffic classes.
