Individual IP Traffic Monitoring

[Brian_E]

Hello Everyone

I have only just flashed my ASUS RT-AC68U with the Merlin firmware, so I am still exploring the additional features.

I note that it is supposed to be possible to monitor internet traffic on a per IP basis, but I don't see that option in my router's GUI (see screenshot). Am I missing something obvious here?

 

[ColinTaylor]

Tools > Other Settings > Enable IPTraffic (per IP monitoring) = Yes

 

[Brian_E]

Thanks Colin. I knew I'd seen a setting for this somewhere!

 

[RMerlin]

There's also a whole section devoted to IPTraffic in the README.

 

[Brian_E]

Thanks for that. I had read that at least in part, but forgot that that was where there was further information about the IP traffic monitoring (I forget may things these days, I suppose it comes with the ageing process).

Fellahs, I can see the Real Time traffic by IP but I can't find the hourly logs. That would be something we could open up with Notepad/Wordpad, correct? The GUI states: "Save history location
Directory must end with a '/'." Should it be with a standard WIN format Backslash as opposed to Forward slash "\"? Anything else I done goof up?

 

[john9527]

You can only save it to storage that is located on the router (USB drives or a memory stick)....so everything is forward-slash in the path for Linux format (and you end the path with a trailing forward-slash). If you click on the 'Select' button, you'll see what storage is available. Then select the 'Yes' button to create the file before hitting apply.

The file format is a 'gz' file which is not easily readable.

This is what shows up but options are not clickable (+ - pencil):

So I manually added/typed the path to a Folder of my choosing. Guess I really borked it.



****EDIT****


I replied before you edited. LOL Okay, so I need to add a USB stick. Thanks!

hello,

i have connect a usb key on asus

activated :



and i have no log on usb key

Why ?

 

[ColinTaylor]

First you have to set "Create or reset IPTraffic data files" to Yes and hit apply [You only need to do this once]. Then wait a hour for the data to be written to the disk.

The data file is NOT human readable. It is a Tomato "cstats" file.

 

[sebfr]

ok.

so how to use or view this file ?

 

[ColinTaylor]

so how to use or view this file ?

It is used by the router to display the information at http://192.168.1.1/Main_TrafficMonitor_devdaily.asp and http://192.168.1.1/Main_TrafficMonitor_devmonthly.asp

As far as I know there are no tools available that can read the file directly.

I have "No data in table." while try to see Traffic Monitor per device, at http://MyLocalIP/Main_TrafficMonitor_devrealtime.asp
My settings:

I see traffic in Traffic Monitor at "Global"

But in "Traffic Monitor per device" - "No data in table.", any ideas?
Router AC66U, Firmware latest version 378.56_2

I have same issue as Amatuer273.

I created Asus on my USB using the "USB Applications" "Media and ... Services"

In config I set yes to all four for IpTraffic under Tools-Other Settings
When looking at the USB disk (since I set it up as a network share I see it from other computers in the net) I can see that two gz files are created.

But there is no Real-Time or Dayily data - I waited 24 hours.

any one?

I've run into similar problems. Try switching browsers. Just clearing the cached files doesn't work.

 

[marchelo]

Is it possible to have IPv6 Traffic monitoring?

 

[RMerlin]

Is it possible to have IPv6 Traffic monitoring?

If you mean IPTraffic, no. The kernel module used for that can't be used for IPv6 due to its design.

FYI:
https://github.com/VREMSoftwareDevelopment/rstats-cstats

Tomato USB Python scripts to dump RStats and CStats information

Have not tried it as I do not collect Traffic Stats.
May be of use if someone wants to get 'Human Readable' data.
At worse read the Python Scripts to understand the rstats and/or cstats file format.
