Routerstats-style program for Linux
« on: July 30, 2012, 03:41:48 PM »

I'm developing a DSL router monitoring program inspired by John Owen's Routerstats program, to work in Linux. It was initially intended for use with the Huawei HG612 (with Asbokid's unlocked firmware) but in principle it should also work with other Broadcom-based DSL routers which have a fully functioning telnet interface. Its features are incomplete, but it's reached the point where it can do useful work and I would appreciate some feedback about it. It's free and open source, and will be released under the GPL when I sort out the details.

You should hopefully be able to download it from the link below. Please read the included README.

I'll give it a go later and see if it works with my router.

Kitz a perfect opportunity to try Linux  ::) ;)

Well its now running on my D-Link DSL-2740B and graphing nicely.

Not sure how much testing I'll be able to do as my only Linux PC is going to have to go back for repair AGAIN, had a new m/b under warranty plus waiting for my new memory under warranty and now this m/b is playing silly b*****s crashing not posting you name it it does it intermittently.

Very well done Eric.
I will see if I can use when I have got used to driving this HH3.

Even though his evening meal will be delayed, b*cat makes arrangement to download the appropriate software that is offered by a fellow "penguin-hugger".  ;D

I run a pure 64-bit system on this laptop, so testing will be delayed until I crank-start the 32-bit workstation (the hardware of which dates from Q4 of 1999).

A very hungry b*cat goes to look at his food-bowl.  ::)

asbokid is a 64-bitter, too.  This worked though. Hold on to your hats, it's a monster package (81MB)
Code: [Select]
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs-gtk

Excellento, Eric!

cheers, a

Actually I may be able to cross-compile for 64-bit. I'm using Lazarus/Freepascal, which has the capability if I can make it work.

Scrap that. I don't think it can be done. I think this may be the time to double my bits, but ia32-libs should get you going if you're willing. :)

As we speak, I'm installing Debian Testing 64-bit on my other PC. They can share the source code, so I can build 32-bit executables on this one, and 64-bit executables on the other.

I think I'll wait until the source-code is laid in the public's gaze and then compile it myself.  :)

I can upload it shortly, but are you familiar with Lazarus/Freepascal (because that's what I'm using)?

I'm not sure if this is a good sign or a bad one, but I actually had to look that up  ::)

I guess I'm also going to have to wait for the 64bit build...

Both 32-bit and 64-bit versions and the source can be downloaded from

https://docs.google.com/folder/d/0BxbUtOYVZ_SCZ1BnY3RKYnN2b1U/edit

These are both minor version upgrades on the original (just a small cosmetic change), and I've removed the original to avoid confusion.

Thank you, Eric.

I am currently testing the original version on my 32-bit workstation. My comments:

(1) The configuration menu does not allow me to set 24 hours per graph, it appears to have a maximum of 10.
(2) Any possibility of swapping the colour around, please? Red for downstream and green for upstream?
(3) The numbers displayed on the x- and y-axis are rather small for less-than-perfect eyesight. Could they please be enlarged?
(4)  . . .
