I've had a hunt around this forum so hopefully this isn't covered already... :)
I have a Huawei HG612 which is working fine with DSLStats and recently I've been having some broadband connection issues so I want to track modem uptime vs DSL uptime.
DSL uptime is fine as is logged with the rest of the Stats data but I am struggligng to find where DSLstats logs modem uptime as I can see it in the status bar of the GUI but I cannot see it logged in any of the data collected.
I've found references to the "cat /proc/uptime" command but I was hoping there was something more elegant than a custom command.
Please can someone help?

I'm sorry but I can't see any easy way to automate logging of the modem uptime. DSLstats doesn't retain the data - it simply runs the command cat /proc/uptime, converts it to days, hours, minutes, seconds, and displays the result on the status bar.

Thanks for the quick response and the confirmation.
Is a custom command and entries into the event log the only way of gathering this statistic then?
If so, do you have any suggestions of how I could manipulate the log within the DSLStats instance to extract the data and create my own record?
FYI - I am using the DSLStats Docker container to gather the data, if that helps.

As a very clunky workaround if the modem is down telnet/stats wouldn't be able to be gathered so you would be missing a line in the stats.log datastore file for any corresponding minute that the modem (or at least telnet) wasn't available. Obviously if the modem restarts quick enough you may not end up missing a per minute sample.

Thanks for the advice but its not the modem downtime I'm after it is the DSL uptime compared to modem uptime (if you know what I mean?!).
I think I've found a view from my Unifi USG which helps if I can't get this info from the modem.
Thanks again.
