connmon ping frequency settings doesn't seem to work?

[LaMpiR]

Hi.

I have AX88U with latest firmware from Merlin as well as latest connmon v3.0.2 but I had some problems with my ISP and I have tried to change the settings for ping to get a more regular readout. Setting to every 26min or so, then 1 hour, then 2 hours had no impact on when the ping would perform.

Every day
Mode: Every X hours/minutes

I am stuck from my previous setting and ping timer is working only 00:29 once per day even though I had it every 29 minutes or so.
Did anyone else have this problem maybe?

Are you trying to set the value via the GUI or CLI?

GUI

GUI

is the setting showing in the GUI as what you set it to even after a refresh, or is it reverting to the last value?

and can you post a copy of the config file from /jffs/addons/connmon.d or /opt/share/connmon.d , redacting any login information for any notification methods you use?

It's showing the value which I have set. I've changed to 23 minutes, left for a day or two, went back, it shows 23 but test are not that in that time range. Same goes for 1 hour, 2 hours and so on.

This is from /opt/share/connmon.d/config file. I have modified it to 2 hours.

ok so the value is making it to the config file and saving, that's good.

cru l | grep connmon

Here is the problem

user@router:/tmp/mnt/skynetusb/entware/share/connmon.d# cru l | grep connmon
28 */0 * * * /jffs/scripts/connmon generate #connmon#

user@router:/tmp/mnt/skynetusb/entware/share/connmon.d#

try running

cru d connmon

and then running a ping test

Thank you. I have checked with "cru l | grep connmon" and got this output

0 */2 * * * /jffs/scripts/connmon generate #connmon#

How would I set it to run at some random time? For example every 2 hours and 23 minutes? Trying not to interfere with spdMerlin.

Maybe play around with this: https://crontab.guru/#23_0/2_*_*_*
