spdMerlin spdMerlin - Automated speedtests with graphs

[bluzfanmr1]

When I said Skynet is running I can go into it through the script on AMTM but there isn't a tab under tools.

According to your quote you are looking under “Tools”. Did you look on the “Firewall” tab?

Yes.

Finally got it going with a factory reset. Will apply to AC86 all is good.

Very nice tool. Just installed on my AC68U. No issues.

Had a quick look through the 24 pages and maybe missed, but is there a file available from SSH with stats/results that can be exported to the network (NFS/CIFS) or to an attached USB key?

Using this tool to gather stats on a new microwave link that we have set up between two locations.

Cheers all

There's an sqlite db stored in /jffs/addons/spdMerlin.d

Thanks for the information. This is indeed useful for what we want to do.

One question, it is my understanding that the /jffs directory is in NOVRAM. If so, then am I correct in thinking that the sqlite database, being in the /jffs directory is being written to (NOVRAM) twice an hour if on a cron schedule? If so, not really a desirable thing. Has anyone tried moving the /jffs/addons/spdMerlin.d directory to a mouted USB drive and create a symbolic link in /jffs/addons? This to avoid an early death to the NOVRAM area.

Cheers

The flash chips in the routers can sustain many many many writes, this has been covered many times before

A symlink will probably be wiped out by my script. I can look to add storing on USB if people are really that concerned. The syslog exists on jffs, after all

Good point about the syslog. Thanks for the quick reply, and sorry for asking a question that has been hashed about before. Your script is very useful to us the test the long term viability of a radio link.

I have a nightly cron job set up to copy the stat file to the USB drive so I can use the file from windows, so I got a work around.

Cheers

Hi, great tool.

I have a second router running in bridge mode. Is it possible to run the test from that router using the LAN connection as WAN port is not being used.

Many thanks.

What interface name is used for the uplink? (look at output of ifconfig)

 

[netmik3]

Spud Merlin?

 

[Andyandyandyandyandy]

I think its br0 (number at the end). That’s the interface with an IP address against it.

I've just installed this on my RT-AX88U and it seems to be working, but I've only had one test result so-far, so no points to show on the graph as yet. Also, I won't get sensible results until the iDrive backup app on my Synology NAS has finished uploading all my data to the cloud, which looks as though it's going to take about 1-2 weeks at the present rate of transfer (~2 MB/s) and running 24/7.

 

[TheLyppardMan]

I can confirm that it's definitely working.

It should work without any modifications. When I was testing the scripts on my lab setup AC1900P it was running in a triple NAT setup. The spdMerlin worked fine. Skynet also worked but of course there were not any blocks as the upstream router caught everything.

which router and firmware?

 

[Andyandyandyandyandy]

which router and firmware?

RT-AC88u 384.14_2

Thanks

 

[Jack Yaz]

RT-AC88u 384.14_2

Thanks

Is this the one in bridge mode?

 

[Andyandyandyandyandy]

Is this the one in bridge mode?

Yes, the main router is RT-AX88U running 384.14beta3

Thanks
