Not sure what is going on here with the updated version. Any help?

Thanks for modifying the CVS output option for spdMerlin and conmon so the time output can be read without converting the field. Makes it much quicker to look at the output values and intermediately so what time slow downs occur.

Thanks for adding CSV report!!! @Jack Yaz

@Jack Yaz Could you add a section and a way to also do spedtests over vpnclient and combine speedtests together to show all info?

speedtests over vpn is already possible, you can configure it via the command line/ssh

can you clarify what you mean combine, as in download and upload in one csv/chart?

I mean In addons in merlins shows speedtests...just to also have a heading category for vpn speedtests

? It already does.

 

[CaptainSTX]

Just to follow up on what Jack Yaz said here is a snap of my WAN and two VPN clients. This has been a feature for several weeks.

 

[maghuro]

Definitely, and i use vpn speedtests Everytime...

Just because we're talking about vpn, isn't possible to choose custom server for each vpn? Is there any limitation, or it hasn't been coded only?

Yes it is possible to select a server for each client if you are using Merlin's firmware.

The problem is many/most commercial VPN providers only make it possible to run ONE VPN client on a router at a time. This is because they only support connections on a single port number. When the VPN provider advertises that you can have five or six connections you have to use multiple devices.

I use PIA and they have configurations that support VPN client connections using eleven ports. Some of the configurations are not supported by either the router or Merlin.

Not my question
I was talking about custom speedtest servers from this script for each vpn client we have

Currently only available for the WAN connection.

Currently only available for the WAN connection.

Yes.. and i'm asking if it's possible, in the future, to make it available for vpn also!

 

[Jack Yaz]

The answer, as with most things to do with technology is yes it is possible, but how much time do I have to commit to developing such a feature

 

[Mister10B]

I just installed this for the first time and I'm having an issue accepting the license agreement. On first run, it prompts [y/n] but then immediately goes to the next line about running an initial test before I can even type in Y.

You must accept the license agreements for Speedtest CLI. Do you want to continue? (y/n)
Note: This will require an initial speedtest to run, please be patient​

No issues for me, also installed it first time today. AX88U Merlin 384.16.
What are you running on?

 

[Jack Yaz]

Testers wanted! New feature: opt to store stats and config on USB instead of JFFS (new option s)
The new version also checks to make sure Entware is available before running.
Testing particularly needed around reboots when using USB storage
To test, run

spdmerlin develop

 

[JGrana]

Hi Jack. I loaded the test version. Changed storage "s" from jffs to USB.
I did verify that it moved the database to /opt.
Ran a speedtest manually and then checked the graphs. Looked good.

I did a reboot. Unfortunately, spdmerlin didn't startup. No tab in GUI and no entry in cru l.

I started spdmerlin manually (spdmerlin startup). It is now running.

Can you check syslog please?

Can you check syslog please?

Sure. Here are 2 reboots. The first time around 7:30AM Eastern and the second at 8AM:

I wonder why it is firing off so many times to start :/

Can you please check that something hasn't gone awry in /jffs/scripts/services-start please?
