scMerlin scMerlin v2 - Service and script control menu for AsusWRT-Merlin

[JohnD5000]

That's really bizarre. Can you try checking /tmp/syslog.log to see if it has anything more that's not in the ui for whatever reason?

There is a syslog.log and a syslog.log-1. However, I have since switched watchdog off and rebooted the system to get to a full system. If you want me to, I will set watchdog on again and reboot, but I can not do this until tonight (when people will not be on the system). If yes, please give me a list of everything that you want and I will try and get it for you. Also, let me know if there is anything you want me do first (ie run xxx to clear log or something). Also, let me know how you want me to transfer it to you since I'm limited to so many characters here.

Note, after I get this for you I will probably turn watchdog off and reboot to get to a good system but I'll try and wait to run anything else you need.

Here is a list of scripts I am running (I also have a simple script I wrote to check something but that is not run until after boot so it should not be interferring)

tenner says its unbound gui's fault. run sgui in unbound_manager to check for any updates, that's the old tab URL for the redirect page

That's strange. It was not that many days ago since I made a complete reinstall of unbound.
However, as you said I uninstalled the unbound gui and installed it again. However the unbound entry in menuTree.js still looked identical to me.

Still not rebooted yet (my family would kill me... apparently lack of internet also travels with the speed of light)

pastebin (unlisted and PM me the url) is usually OK. really I just need a syslog showing the actual reboot events and then everything starting up. i don't know why your log is so truncated

OK, I turned on watchdog and rebooted. Booted OK. So I kept watchdog on. Rebooted 5 more times. 1 time I had the weird errors (missing CRONs and short log file) but other times it didn't. So, I don't know what is going on. I did copy the syslog file when I had the error, but I'm not sure if it is of any value now. Let me know if you still want it and I'll send it to you with pastebin.

Rebooted and scMerlin gui was gone again...
So I Uninstalled unbound gui and then it seems to work. Thanks!

@Jack Yaz just curious about some "AsusRouter kernel: CONSOLE:" scMerlin log entries that I see pop up coincident with going to the web page ... I assume it's polling the temperature sensors?

Are these "normal and expected", or are they something related to a) that I have a newish RT-AX86U or b) that I have both 2.4 and 5.0 Ghz Wifi turned Off?
The actual readout in scMerlin appears correct, with CPU temp showing a value and both Wifi's saying "Off".

Curious minds etc etc ...

Thanks Jack

do you see the same thing on the Tools page or wherever it is the temperature is shown?

 

[Stephen Harrington]

@Jack Yaz yes you are correct, if I go to Tools page and “hover” there for a few seconds and then go back to System Log those entries also appear, so seems like it’s “just the way it is” (for this model at least) and nothing different you are doing? Sorry for the distraction!

ok that's good, as i re-use that code. means i didn't break something, phew!

as to why it does that, i don't know

Hi @Jack Yaz , whenever I go to scMerlin page, all tabs are expanded. It takes few seconds to collapse some of the tabs that I have chosen to collapse previously. Other addons collapsed almost instantly. Is it possible to make it collapse faster like the others?

it depends on how fast/slow httpd on the router applies. since scmerlin generates a lot of content dynamically and needs to load files it can take a while until the code to set up click events and collapses them takes effect

which router do you see this on and are you use HTTP or https? if https, is the cert self signed or lets encrypt/other pki?

Im on RT-AC86U, using http. Just realized I have this logs whenever I open the page. Is this normal? I don't see similar logs with other addon page.

yes normal, those service events are scMerlin's WebUI calling for updated addonpage and cronjob files to load and display

please try a force update (uf) at CLI and then check the page again. I've put a call for the code earlier in the load sequence, which will also fire again when everything is loaded. hopefully this will help!

Yes, the page loading is so smooth now. I don't even see all fully expanded row gets collapsed, the page just open with expanded and collapsed parts in placed. It seems WebUI addons are the one that takes 3-5s to load. Since I had it collapsed it is hardly noticeable.

 

[Jack Yaz]

v2.3.1 is now available
Changelog:

• CHANGED: service-event hook is more selective when it calls scMerlin

 

[Jack Yaz]

testing request! i've added the ability to generate a "sitemap" on the scMerlin WebUI page. if you'd like to test, run

/jffs/scripts/scmerlin develop

then visit the scmerlin WebUI page. the sitemap should appear at the bottom

 

[L&LD]

Solved - Generate Site Map?

I’m about to start fresh with 386.3 following @L&LD’s guide, as I have some issues ever since upgrading to, I think, the second to last version. So it’s time to start with a clean setup, as vanilla as possible. As I do want to remember which settings were used before wiping everything, I’m...

www.snbforums.com

 

[Kingp1n]

I'm trying out the new "sitemap" feature thru the SCMerlin GUI. It's pretty cool!

I wonder if it's possible to add/customize what you're able to see inside the sitemap. For example, if I wanted to add a link to FlexQoS?

Other than, it's really helpful.

 

[L&LD]

If any add-ons (in the GUI) are available, the link is already there.

You didn't really think that @Jack Yaz would leave that for us to do manually? Lol
