Hello snb folks. I have been running into an issue with Skynet that I cannot figure out. Installation of the scripts went very smoothly with amtm utility and malware blocklists are working great. The issue I have is the web UI statistics are not populating whatsoever no matter what I do.

I have tried to modify the default syslog location, tried to re-enable the web UI, tried to run firewall debug genstats, and tried to click the "Update stats" button in the web UI to no avail.

I am running an RT-AC86U with the latest Merlin firmware version 386.11

Router Model; RT-AC86U
Skynet Version; v7.4.5 (20/06/2023) (1cbaf583a50dce1938f5f65d6c47b54c)
iptables v1.4.15 - (eth0 @ 192.168.1.1)
ipset v7.6, protocol version: 7
IP Address;
FW Version; 386.11_0 (May 14 2023) (4.1.27)
Install Dir; /tmp/mnt/ESD-USB/skynet (30.0G / 32.0G Space Available)
SWAP File; /tmp/mnt/ESD-USB/myswap.swp (2.0G)
Banned Countries; ru cn

Here is what the web UI looks like no matter what I do:

Any ideas are greatly appreciated, thanks!

I've just installed Skynet for the first time and seem to be having the same issue as you. In the Skynet tap under Firewall in my router GUI all of the drop-downs say "No Data to Display". That same page does say "Inbounds Blocks" is 816. Which would seem to indicate Skynet is working.

One thing that strikes me as weird is at the top of the page it says:

Skynet Statistics
Monitoring From To
Log Size - (0B)


which doesn't seem right. Hopefully, someone on the forum will tell us what we're doing wrong. I can't figure it out.
 
Check the skynet log for current data.
Code:
ls -l /tmp/mnt/*/skynet/skynet.log
head -n 5 /tmp/mnt/*/skynet/skynet.log
tail -5 /tmp/mnt/*/skynet/skynet.log
grep -ow "skynetloc=.* # Skynet" /jffs/scripts/firewall-start 2>/dev/null | grep -vE "^#" | awk '{print $1}' | cut -c 11-

This has also happened to me after a firmware upgrade several months ago and was fixed by uninstalling then reinstalling Skynet right away.
 
Can confirm @ColDen this was the solution for me as well. Upgraded to the latest firmware version on the router then completely uninstalled/reinstalled Skynet from the amtm utility. After this clicked update stats and I can now see the statistics via the UI. Thank you everyone!

Sometimes you just need to clean out the gunk... ;)

Isn't there a command we can do to clear out the gunk? or is reinstallling skynet every upgrade is the only solution?

I've posted commands above that would help figure out why it's broken. I suspect the USB path changes from what's recorded in the firewall-start script. But no one has tried those commands yet.
 
well mine is not broken, I tested your commands.

Is this the expected result?

I've uninstalled and reinstalled Skynet several times. In the GUI it still reports "No Data to Display" after running for 24-hours.
Below is what I get when I run your code:

admin@asus:/tmp/home/root# ASUSWRT-Merlin RT-AX86U 3004.388.4_0 Mon Aug 21 19:34:20 UTC 2023 admin@asus:/tmp/home/root# ls -l /tmp/mnt/*/skynet/skynet.log -rw-rw-rw- 1 admin root 0 Sep 6 13:37 /tmp/mnt/M2SSD/skynet/skynet.log admin@asus:/tmp/home/root# head -n 5 /tmp/mnt/*/skynet/skynet.log admin@asus:/tmp/home/root# tail -5 /tmp/mnt/*/skynet/skynet.log admin@asus:/tmp/home/root# grep -ow "skynetloc=.* # Skynet" /jffs/scripts/firewall-start 2>/dev/null | grep -vE "^#" | awk '{print $1}' | cut -c 11- /tmp/mnt/M2SSD/skynet admin@asus:/tmp/home/root#

This is what my Skynet tab looks like:

I'm stumped.
 
How about running:
Code:
ps ww | grep logd
nvram get message_loglevel
nvram get log_level
Have you changed the default syslog levels before?

I have not change syslog levels.

Rich (BB code):
admin@asus:/tmp/home/root# ps ww | grep logd
 1438 admin     3424 S    /sbin/syslogd -m 0 -S -O /tmp/syslog.log -s 256 -l 4
 1440 admin     3424 S    /sbin/klogd -c 5
 8607 admin     5972 S    grep logd
admin@asus:/tmp/home/root#

Check on the syslog page. “Log only messages…” option should be “debug” (seems to be “warning” on your router now).

Apparently I DID change my Syslog levels. My "Log only messages" was set to "notice". When I changed it to "debug" I started getting results in the Skynet tab. When learning about how to install Skynet, I don't recall reading anything about Syslog levels, but I could have missed it.

Thank you for taking the time to help me out. Being a noob is hard work. :)

Verify that the 2 options are “notice” and “debug“ respectively.
 
They are indeed set to "notice" and "debug".

Thanks again for your help. You are an asset to the community.
 
For future users facing the same issue, these commands can help diagnose the lack of stats in the GUI:
Code:
grep -ow "skynetloc=.* # Skynet" /jffs/scripts/firewall-start 2>/dev/null | grep -vE "^#" | awk '{print $1}' | cut -c 11-
ls -l /tmp/mnt/*/skynet/skynet.log
head -n 5 /tmp/mnt/*/skynet/skynet.log
tail -5 /tmp/mnt/*/skynet/skynet.log
ps ww | grep logd
nvram get message_loglevel
nvram get log_level
