This version deals with the faults reported with v5.9.2:
- fixed flashing command line window with MDWS uploads in Windows version
- fixed mutiple defunct processes after MDWS uploads with Linux and Raspberry Pi versions
- replaced corrupted routers.dat file

Many thanks Eric. :)

That seems just fine now Eric, thanks.

Thanks Stuart.

Thanks Eric, no more Pi zombies.

Excellent, thank you.
-
No more Pi zombie processes here, either. Thanks Eric

Thank you.

Installed DSLstats with Version 5.9.3 on my old RPI B+ and still works like a dream.
-
Thank you.

v5.9.3 working fine here on a Pi :). Many thanks for your continued work on it.
The two minor issues I have seen are:
1. Your website says the router file should now support:
Added models (since DSLstats v5.9):
SmartRG SR505N
Zyxel VMG8924-B10A
Comtrend VR-3031eu
but I can't see these listed.
2. When trying the new "select tone range" box and choose the preset VDSL2 option , my tone scale goes upto over 11900 on the bits tab and over 12250 on the QLN and Hlog tabs which is much higher than I would expect
-
Thanks for the comments.
1. I guess the website isn't clear. The version of the file routers.dat included with v5.9.2 was corrupted, so for v5.9.3, I reverted to the version which preceded those three models. The enlarged version which does include those models is available as a separate download at the bottom of the downloads page. Sorry for the confusion.
2. The presets assume that the DSLstats window size remains at its default. If you enlarge it or maximise it you'll get the effect you describe. It would have involved quite a lot of recoding to make the presets responsive to changes in the Window size.

All seems fine on my pi3. Thanks
-
Thanks.

Well so far so good, I got error messages about not being able to upload.
Don't get them now, not yet seen my stats on the site yet, but hope to soon..
-
Not sure where to put this but putting it here as this seems to be the latest version.
A suggestion.
A configurable option to take snapshots on re-sync if at all possible. If you are using MWDS its possible to go back through the day's output and work out what happened. In my case I suspect DLM lowering my target to 5db as MWDS shows straight after the re-sync 5db but a snapshot at that time may have proved one way or the other what happened.
Just an idea. :)

Have you had no answer from the expert people on Think Broadband forums they must be very busy over there at the moment.

It would be simple enough to provide an option to take a snapshot of the SNRM on the first successful sample after a resync. There's no way DSLstats can detect the instant that the connection is restored, it can only do it by waiting until a sample collection receives proper data again after a break.
-
Eric a question.... You said that 5.9.2 now had a timeout for uploading failures to MDWS, well the MDWS server went down this morning and I saw no error messages in the DSLStats event log. Should there be a message if upload fails? In fact the MDWS server is still down and no messages.

-
I'll have to look into that, Stuart. At least DSLstats doesn't hang any more when it can't reach MDWS, and that's progress. But it certainly needs to give some feedback when it times out.
-
Hi.
Anyone else not gettimg alert messages on resync or snr changes please? - test alerts are fine but 3 recent resyncs have not triggered any alert alomg with my snr alert. Unit being used pi3.
Many thanks
-
One of the changes I made since v5.9 was the way that the test button works. Previously the test button wouldn't do anything unless the option "Send email alerts" was enabled. After a user pointed out that this was a bit confusing, I changed it so that the test button now works to test the email setup, whether that option is enabled or not. But you still need to enable that option if you want to receive actual email alerts, and I suspect that you haven't done this.
For the next version I'll make it clearer how it works.
-
Hi.
Yes alerts are enabled. 3 resyncs since yesterday but no message. Happy to supply screen shot if you wish..
-
Looks like I am not receiving any email alerts either.
27 Apr 2017 10:38:47 Alert: Downstream SNRM fell to 3.10
27 Apr 2017 10:38:47 Alert: Downstream SNRM rose again to 3.10
27 Apr 2017 10:40:46 Alert: Downstream SNRM fell to 3.10
27 Apr 2017 10:41:46 Alert: Downstream SNRM rose again to 3.10
27 Apr 2017 10:42:27 Email alert sent: "Alert: Test alert"Nothing for the (forced) SNRM alerts, but the test email received.
-
OK, thanks, it does look as though a bug crept in. The alert system is working, and the email setup is working, but the link between them seems to be missing. I'll sort it out as soon as I can.
-
I can confirm that the change I made to the way the test button works introduced this new bug. I've fixed it, but unless anyone is desperate I propose to deal with a couple of other things before I upload a new version.
-
That is perfectly reasonable. :)
-
Eric! :)
What I will say does not demean the excellent work you do.
With all the floating point, and DSLstats has stopped working problems I have, I lose a lot of what could be useful. Pity there's not someway to prevent loss and make data available at restart.
A pipe dream,maybe! :D
-
I'd prefer to work out why you get these problems, because they're not normal. If you want to save data, then snapshots will do quite a good graphical job, but regularly saving the data in such a way that it can be reloaded is too complicated for me to undertake now. I'm unfortunately not a spring chicken. :)
-
Eric! Not such an old boiler as me, I think! :) This morning I increased graph time length to 1 hour with samples every 60 seconds.
Would adjusting either be overkill? In any case, unless i notice and act there are and will be gaps in my data. I can pacel the snapshots I have and post them here. Other than SNRm, what other data would be wanted?
Thanks for your great patience.
Since about 7:30 there have been five or so floating point errors, and about three stopped working warnings. I am considering running from the test socket, but that will mean a long 10 metre trailing modem or Ethernet cable across the hall and -up the stairs. A final thought; could the obvious nasties my system is suffering be mucking up my DSLStats experience, one feeding on the other?

The time per page shouldn't matter at all. The longer the time between samples, the lower the load on the modem, but there's probably no point in making it longer than 60 seconds.

There's no simple answer to that, but SNRM is generally the most revealing when you have noise problems.

If you're going to have trailing cables, then keep the modem near the master socket and have a trailing ethernet cable.

It seems possible, but I don't know what the mechanism is. Are you still using a Technicolor modem/router? I would be very inclined to change it for a 'normal' Broadcom-based model, although it's a bit of a stab in the dark.
-
I know what you're saying about the modem near test socket. i was just thinking the RJ11 way would be less hassle for exclusion of the hard wired extension, just in case that were failing.
Router has been a Billion 8800Nl v1 for a while now. I still the Techniclor 582n, and thinking in reverse direction to you?
-
Depending on what firmware your 8800NL has, it may be worth upgrading it to the latest. There was another discussion on the forum today about this, and one firmware version has a known problem with an internal memory leak, which could possibly be contributing to your problems.
This is it: http://forum.kitz.co.uk/index.php/topic,19725.msg347186.html#msg347186 . Not the same problem as yours, but possibly relevant.

I have a 8800nl v1 on the latest firmware and using a pi3 with dsl stats 5.9.3 .Its been up for 4 days since I installed it with no problems so far apart from the alerts. It is used in bridge mode. User id btmaxcd on mydslwebstats.

My firmware
2.32d.dh14
New
2.32e.dh4.afw apparently, mentioned in Billion Forums.
@skyeci Is that what you have?
