vnStat [Release] vnStat-on-Merlin - UI, CLI and email - data use and data limit monitoring - R1 and R2

[elorimer]

I think I have resolved my issue with vnstat stopping unexpectedly. It coincides with a scheduled reboot, and at that time dn-vnstat starts but vnstat itself doesn't. I couldn't find out where in the starting sequence precisely it failed, but the S33 starting code is not necessary for me after the initial installation, I think, so I hard-coded the choice of jffs or usb storage location and removed the S32 tests. Now it starts on a reboot.

I seem to recall other instances where a lot of Sxx code created a race condition or some other starting issue. Not sure why, as other add-ons seems to run ok even with a lot; Scribe has a lot offloaded to another file that gets called, for example.

Hi,

Is there a way to transfer the stats across to a newer model of router ? I have it currently stored in jffs.

Please advise thanks

Hey @elorimer I'm having a similar issue with the stats. I've checked and it appears dn-vnstat runs after reboot, but vnstat is "dead" based on running this command:

/opt/etc/init.d/S33vnstat check

After starting vnstat using this command:

/opt/etc/init.d/S33vnstat start

the stats are updating just fine.

Can you please post what you modified in /opt/etc/init.d/s33vnstat file?

Thanks.

Note: there is no guarantee that it will work, this is an unsupported hack. I have, however, successfully done so at least twice in a test environment.

It would be helpful for you to add your configuration (router, firmware version, scripts) to your signature and describe your topology (setup).

@dev_null thanks! I've gone through those threads but no luck.

My setup:
Router: AXE16K
FW: 3004.388.7
Scripts: Skynet, Unbound, AdGuard, dn-vnstat, spdMerlin, scMerlin

I've created a script (also posted in post #3 on page 1 of this thread) that will check the status of the S33vnstat daemon and if there are other than isolated reports of the daemon crashing/not starting, I may add this check to the dn-vnstat script.

I acknowledge it's treating the symptom not the disease, and will continue to try to identify why the daemon stops in a small number of cases.

@Martinski has submitted changes to the git that have been merged. The changes (which should show as v 2.0.6 include:

• Fixed error when loading the webGUI page on the latest 3006.102.1 F/W version.
• Fixed the "missing scrollbar" issue when the webGUI page was loaded on the latest 3004.386.14 F/W version.
• Fixes/improvements when reading & checking for configuration settings.
• Removed/modified code related to "var $j = jQuery.noConflict();" which is now considered obsolete.

Many thanks to those that flagged the issue and particularly to @Martinski !

Note: I have no device that runs the .14 variant, so I cannot check the scroll bar issue. Please advise if this fix doesn't address the issue.

Using RT-AC68U with Merlin 386.14 here, and I just tested the update immediately..
"missing scrollbar" issue got fixed indeed, as I just mentioned in my bug report's latest post:

vnStat - vnStat on Merlin 386.14 missing scrollbar bug

Hi All, I already know that @Jack Yaz already updated his scripts for the missing vertical scrollbar (bug) which was newly introduced with Merlin 386.14 firmware for AC models. And I'm looking forward him merging these fixes in the master branches of his respective scripts and the same for...
