Multiple instances
« on: September 22, 2016, 03:05:27 AM »

Is there a way to run 2 instances of DSLstats (to monitor 2 different VDSL lines) on Windows 2012 server or any Windows 7/8/10 desktop?

You could run one version of dsl stats and one version of hg612 stats on one machine to monitor 2 lines..

That's the simplest option. It's not possible to run two instances of DSLstats on the same machine because they would be sharing the same configuration files.

Yes, just copy the folder and rename one on the dslstats.exe files to dslstats1.exe. The only problem is that MDWS doesn't know which line is which.

I thought it worked fine, you just need two accounts, one for each line.

That's not intended in the design of DSLstats, but I guess it's OK so long as both instances are configured to keep their configuration files in the same directory as the executable.

Wasn't aware of that issue, perhaps Tony will fix it one day.

To be honest, I can't see why it needs to spy on the IP address. If it was simply a user-entered field that would just work.

It does seem rather absurd, if you've got seperate account details then it should work for multiple connections if  the ip's are not on the banned list.

create 2 mdws accounts. use username1 with dslstats.exe  and username2 with dslstats1.exe

I think he meant WAN IP address detection in DslStats, not MDWS.

I can't see anything stopping you running 2 instances of DslStats, for 2 separate lines, with both uploading to MDWS.  Just make sure DslStats is installed twice, to 2 separate locations, and 1 of the DslStats.exe files is renamed. You need to check "Location of config files - with other DslStats files" under Configuration > Misc, in both instances of DslStats

What does DSLstats report as the IP address when running in this dual instance mode?

Because I use per-packet load balancing, DSLStats and MDWS report one IP address then the other. This may not be the ideal setup.

Whatever Dray was implying - see below, he was clearly on about MDWS, I thought it was odd as surely the username would identify which line was which.

The only problem is that MDWS doesn't know which line is which.
