RTRMON RTRMON v2.1.3 -Oct 19, 2024- Monitor your Router's Health (New: AMTM, Network Conn/Bandwidth/Diag + Port Scanner + Speedtest)

[Viktor Jaep]

RTRMON v2.1.3
Released October 19, 2024

Executive Summary: RTRMON is a shell script that provides near-realtime stats about your Asus-Merlin firmware router. Instead of having to find this information on various different screens or apps, this tool was built to bring all this info together in one stats dashboard. Having a 'system' dashboard showing current CPU, Memory, Disk and Network stats would compliment other dashboard-like scripts greatly (like VPNMON-R3), sitting side-by-side in their own SSH windows to give you everything you need to know that's happening on your router/network with a glance at your screen. Additional network diagnostics functionality was added, as well as insights into connections/speeds established to/from your router and the ability to run Ookla Speedtests against your WAN and (up to) 5 VPN connections!

RTRMON is free to use under the GNU General Public License version 3 (GPL 3.0).

Latest [Release Notes]

What's new: Wired/Wireless Client Page #7!, GT-AX11000_Pro Compatibility Fix, HUGE update to v2.x!, Large Drive Display Fix, Added EXT USB Storage & More, New Look & Feel, VPN Speedtest, Wi-Fi Scheduler Display, Updated Ookla Speedtest Binary + New Speedtest Stats!, Network Connections/Bandwidth Page, VPN Stats/Minimalist Progressbar/Custom Speedtest Server/+more!, Network Diagnotiscs + TCP/UDP Port Scanner, AMTM!, Further Router Compatibility, GT-AXE/AX Compatibility, WAN IFace Override, Fixed Progressbar %'s, Ookla Speed Test Functionality!

--------------------

Requirements:
1.) Asus/Merlin firmware -- apparently stock Asus is missing some of the features that RTRMON requires to display its stats.

Compatibility:
1.) The vast majority of Dual-Band Routers

• Where wl0 = 2.4GHz, wl1 = 5GHz: RT-AC86U, RT-AX86U, RT-AC68U, GT-AX6000, etc. all are supported by default

2.) Tri-Band Routers /w WiFi6

• Where wl0 = 2.4GHz, wl1 = 5GHz(1), wl2 = 5GHz(2): GT-AX11000_Pro, GT-AX11000, ZenWiFi_Pro_XT12, ZenWIFI_AX

3.) Tri-Band Routers /w WiFi6E

• Where wl0 = 2.4GHz, wl1 = 5GHz, wl2 = 6GHz: GT-AXE11000, RT-BE96U

4.) Quad-Band Routers w/ WiFi6E

• Where wl0 = 5GHz(1), wl1 = 5GHz(2), wl2 = 6GHz, wl3 = 2.4GHz: GT-AXE16000, GT-BE98
• Where wl0 = 5GHz, wl1 = 6GHz(1), wl2 = 6GHz(2), wl3 = 2.4GHz: GT-BE98_Pro

**I will add more devices to the Tri/Quad-Band compatibility list as I research how each one has their wireless interfaces configured. If you see something not working right, please leave a note in this forum, or PM me!

How is this script supposed to run?​

I would recommend running this script in its own SSH window from a PC that's connected directly to the Asus router, or from a utility like 'Screen', as it loops and checks the various stats every 10 seconds. Instructions:

1. Download and install directly from AMTM, or using your favorite SSH tools, copy & paste this command:
   

   curl --retry 3 "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ViktorJp/RTRMON/master/rtrmon.sh" -o "/jffs/scripts/rtrmon.sh" && chmod 755 "/jffs/scripts/rtrmon.sh"

2. Configure it using this command:
   

   sh /jffs/scripts/rtrmon.sh -setup

3. Run it standalone in an SSH window with this command:
   

   sh /jffs/scripts/rtrmon.sh -monitor

4. Or, using the screen utility, which has now been built-in:
   

   sh /jffs/scripts/rtrmon.sh -screen

5. To make it even easier, simply execute the script name with the commandline switch, like so:
   

   rtrmon -screen
   -or-
   rtrmon -monitor
   -or-
   rtrmon -setup
   etc...

Please note: in order to use the shortcut method as explained in step 5, you will need to log out of your SSH session completely/close it, then re-open it and log back in. Then you can use the command "rtrmon" from any subfolder location.

Do I need to configure anything?​

You can enter the setup screen with the command 'sh rtrmon.sh -setup' or by hitting the "M" key in the main UI:

Hitting the "1" option, there are currently 13 items you can configure (you can also access this screen by using 'sh rtrmon.sh -config'):

The really important ones probably are your max speeds... as those will differ from router to router, home to home, location to location. Each menu item has detailed explanations on what each one means. If you have any further questions, please feel free to post in the thread below.

I'm definitely looking for your feedback... what works, what doesn't... what else would you like to see. But all-in-all, as good ideas come up for things to possibly add, very much a WIP (work-in-progress).

 

[Viktor Jaep]

Sorry @visortgw ... got the DREADED "this forum has been open for 6 months so you can't post anymore"... and had to start a whole new thread. UGH.

 

[Viktor Jaep]

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

Screen only... but hopefully you can save your SSH history? I also just made this... perhaps this will make it easier... just save this to a new "iftest.sh" file, and run it on each node, then please share results?

Just as I suspected... YET super interesting! I never knew that the WAN Interface just dropped off the face of the earth like that on an iMesh node! I learned something new today!

In the upcoming version of RTRMON, I will try to detect if a router is configured as an iMesh node... and if I can't find anything in NVRAM that tells me that, I'll address it in the setup menu... but excluding the WAN interface from its regular routine on the backend will resolve this error you're getting.

 

[Viktor Jaep]

@visortgw ... could you please run this on one of your iMesh nodes? I'm trying to find some indicator that shows if it's a node.

nvram get wps_modelname

Thank you... welp, that wasn't it. Mine shows the same. Will keep searching.

Hmmm... how about this one:

nvram get wl_sync_node

 

[visortgw]

What about wan0_gw_ifname? It is eth0 on both AiMesh nodes.

Value of zero for both nodes.

 

[Viktor Jaep]

Value of zero for both nodes.

Hmm... same on my end.

What about wan0_gw_ifname? It is eth0 on both AiMesh nodes.

Not sure about being able to rely on that. The function included in the script is very explicit on finding the interface... and if it comes up with a blank, then there must be a good reason.

How about this... under the Setup/Config, item 11 allows you to override the WAN0 interface. Could you forcibly select the eth0 from that list, and see what happens?

31) wl3.1.502@wl3.1
32) eth7.502@eth7
33) eth9.502@eth9
34) br2

For GT-AX6000 AiMesh node:

Valid interface choices:
0) Auto
1) eth1
2) eth2
3) eth3
4) eth0
5) br0
6) wl0.1
7) wl1.1
8) eth0.501@eth0

19) wl0.1.502@wl0.1
20) wl1.1.502@wl1.1
21) br2

EDIT: I take that back. Option 4 for GT-AX6000 is eth0, and selecting it gets rid of errors. Not sure if that is truly WAN interface, though. Definitely missing for GT-AXE16000.

@dave14305 ... Hoping you might know what in NVRAM can tell you if a router is configured as an iMesh node, and not a regular router? Any ideas? Definitely a head scratcher.

 

[Viktor Jaep]

v2.0.8 Beta1 is finally available after a long wait! Couple more things to work on to get things finalized, but here's an early preview! @visortgw -- this version contains a potential fix for your iMesh Node issue... item #12 in the config menu allows you to configure the device as a node, so that it excludes reporting on WAN0 traffic.

What's new?
v2.0.8b1 - (TBA)
- MINOR: Brought RTRMON up to the new visual standards in use across VPNMON-R3, TAILMON and BACKUPMON. All screens have been resized for the more "wide-screen" look, allowing me to condense information, and make better use of screen space. This also includes an operations menu which you can show/hide in order to capitalize on even more screen space in much of the same way VPNMON-R3 functions.
- PATCH: In previous versions, only 2 VPN slots would be presented with relevant info. In today's version, up to 5 different VPN slots are displayed depending on which ones are in use.
- PATCH: In previous versions, you could only run a speedtest against your first VPN connection. In this release, you can indicate whether to run a speedtest against any of your up to 5 VPN slots.
- PATCH: Previously, when WiFi interfaces turn on or shut off, they would not be represented in RTRMON as doing such, and would require a restart of RTRMON to see the current WiFi state. Now, the WiFi interfaces reflect reality in realtime.
- PATCH: Prevously, the iftop network stats would only gather WAN, LAN and the first available VPN slot. Page 6 (network/bandwidth stats) now queries and displays all VPN connection info.
- PATCH: Added some additional information on page 1: Total Available RAM, and Total Swap File Size.
- PATCH: On the Network Diagnostics page, RTRMON is now showing a preview of the test command involved in determining if a function works or not. This gives more insight as to the command, IP or network address that the test is trying to attempt.
- PATCH: Added a new item (12) under the Configuration menu that allows you to specify whether the router that RTRMON is running on is an iMesh Node, Repeater or Bridge. In these operating modes, the eth0 interface is most likely not being used, and will no longer be reporting on any WAN0 traffic.
- PATCH: Added a new item (13) under the Configuration menu that allows you to specify how large you want your log file to reach. The default is currently 2000 rows, which would give you many months of log data.

BETA Download Link:

curl --retry 3 "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ViktorJp/RTRMON/develop/rtrmon.sh" -o "/jffs/scripts/rtrmon.sh" && chmod 755 "/jffs/scripts/rtrmon.sh"

Significant Screenshots:

Every screen is new... enjoy!

Check sw_mode and look at possible outcomes in:

asuswrt-merlin.ng/release/src/router/www/Advanced_OperationMode_Content.asp at master · RMerl/asuswrt-merlin.ng

Third party firmware for Asus routers (newer codebase) - RMerl/asuswrt-merlin.ng

github.com

It seems like router=1, ap=3, AiMesh node=5.

It seems like router=1, ap=3, AiMesh node=5.

I am seeing sw_mode=3, not 5, for all four (4) of my AiMesh nodes — GT-AXE16000, GT-AX6000, and RT-AX86U (x2). My primary router (GT-AX6000) shows sw_mode=1.

@Viktor Jaep: That appears to take care of the missing WAN interface errors on AiMesh nodes. I do see some failures within the diagnostic results:
