RTRMON RTRMON v1.6.9 -May 3, 2024- Monitor your Router's Health (New: AMTM, Network Conn/Bandwidth/Diag + Port Scanner + Speedtest) [NEW THREAD OPENED]

[SomeWhereOverTheRainBow]

Is that a better view? All good?
Well if this doesn't monitor all the things than what monitors all the things, right?
Sounds like I needs to start working on TECTONICPLATEMON!

Yep, yep, and definitely should. @Tech9 knees finally gave out now that you fixed the view.

 

[Tech9]

Yep, yep, and definitely should.

I think @Viktor Jaep has interests in cooking. I see a lot of Jamaican meat preparation recipes (as per Google). Forgot to check the camera.

Folks, any thoughts on 'sda' ? It's a functioning 5T USB hard drive.

Could you please run this command and let me know what kind of results you get back?

df | grep /dev/sd

PS, sda is a 5T HDD via USB port. sdb1 is a 4G thumb drive.

tx in advance !

Well, it seems like your excessively large drive created a math problem! Appears there are some limits I'm not aware of...

Using your values, the outcome of this math problem = 0

sdtotal="$((5814347280 / 1048576))"

Had to change tactics, and am now using this, which makes it = 5544

sdtotal=$(echo "5814347280/1048576" | bc -l | cut -d . -f 1)

I have a test version of RTRMON with this fix implemented... if you wouldn't mind giving it a try, and seeing if you have better results with this? (just ignore the update warnings)

Why would one ever have a 5 TB drive on a router?!? ONCE AGAIN, A ROUTER IS NOT A NAS!!!

 

[Viktor Jaep]

WHy would one ever have a 5 TB drive on a router?!? ONCE AGAIN, A ROUTER IS NOT A NAS!!!

With a drive like that, BACKUPMON would be happy for quite a long time!

 

[bubba123]

WHy would one ever have a 5 TB drive on a router?!? ONCE AGAIN, A ROUTER IS NOT A NAS!!!

I aggrege on the size. This was a 'stop-gap' for my wife who needed to store 1T or so somewhere local and really quick to off-load pictures from a trip before she headed out on another the next morning. I got like 6 hrs. notice and cobbled this together at 1am. The drive does nothing 99% of the time and is hibernated. It works surprisingly well via a Samba share that I toggle on for an hr., let MS Windows file backup do its thing on 3 PC's, then toggle off which lets the HDD hibernate.

Please don't spend any time on this as it's far-far-far- from a best practice. PS, I like the utility as its 1 stop for a ton of info

Oh dang... looks like "bc" doesn't come standard... Hate when that happens... OK. I reverted to yet another method to calculate large numbers using awk. Let's see how that fares. Please download and give it another try! I have a good feeling about it this time!

Woooo!! I'll get this version live for everyone else... thanks for validating!

 

[Viktor Jaep]

Small patch to help those with large USB drives attached to your router to display the right drive space info! Thanks @bubba123 for reporting this and helping test against his setup!

What's new?
v1.6.9 - (May 3, 2024)
- PATCH: After @bubba123 reported some display issues with his SDA devices, it was determined that the large size of his drive was creating some sort of math/integer problem, and was causing the division problem to equal zero, even though it should have amounted to 5544GB. I changed the way that RTRMON calculates these large drive space numbers using the awk tool, and implemented a fix. Thanks for the heads-up @bubba123!

Significant Screenshots:

Courtesy of @bubba123 ... this 5TB attached USB drive is now showing the correct stats.

 

[Viktor Jaep]

After a long overdue overhaul... RTRMON is getting a refresh and will be out soon for everyone to give it a spin... similar guts/engine, collapsible Operations Menu, in the same new wide-screen style as VPNMON-R3, BACKUPMON and TAILMON, it will be joining the fam! Some new much needed enhancements coming along with it as well...

So @visortgw ... Tell me more. Is this GT-AX6000 an iMesh Node? Does it have both 2.4 and 5GHz wifi on? I'm wondering if it's because it's not using a WAN interface? Could you send me a screenshot of your /sys/class/net folder?

My bad. I selected IP address of GT-AX6000 AiMesh node, not GT-AXE16000. I will provide more details as requested later this evening when I have access to MacBook Pro (as opposed to phone).

Same errors for both GT-AX6000 and GT-AXE16000 AiMesh nodes. Yes, all radios are on, and WAN interface being used on both (details below). Questions/thoughts:

1. Why is there double slash in directory path of errors (i.e., "cat: can't open '/sys/class/net//statistics/rx_bytes': No such file or directory" and "cat: can't open '/sys/class/net//statistics/tx_bytes': No such file or directory")?
2. On GT-AX6000, 2.5 Gbps WAN port is used for hardwired backhaul to 2.5 Gbps port of TL-SG3210XHP-M2 2.5/10 Gbps switch.
3. On GT-AX16000, 10 Gbps WAN/LAN port 2 is used for hardwired backhaul to 10 Gbps port of TL-SG3210XHP-M2 2.5/10 Gbps switch — 2.5 Gbps WAN port unused.

It's because the script wasn't able to identify the interface name for something on your end, while in iMesh mode... If it was able to identify the interface... it would show something like /sys/class/net/eth0/statistics/rx_bytes -- or something of the sort.

I may have to send you a test script to help troubleshoot this, or something since I don't have any iMesh to play with on my end? Or maybe you could run it in debug mode, and you could send me the output? That might help too. If you're willing, please do this:

Remove the #'s from the beginning of these lines:
3520
2892
2893

Then run the script as normal... run it long enough to where you think you see the errors... I'd wait at least 10 seconds while it goes the the initial initialization screen. Please send me the output, or the debug code around where the error happens.

To put it back to normal, just replace those #'s.

Is debug output to screen only, or is it saved to a file?
