I got a unhandled exception.

Procedure that caused it.

I renamed my folder when I run the stats from (made sure old service stopped first).
Copied new files over old but preserved old ini files.
Started the new gui app, which warned me folders were mismatched.
I set the folder for the first box and it asked me if I wanted the other boxes auto updates, I selected yes.
Then the unhandled exception occured, clicking continue the boxes are not auto updated.

Code: [Select]
See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this

jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.


note - I just seen the above changelog, to say this bug fixed, but the app wont let me update with the mismatched folders. So Ronski I need a download link to the fixed version thanks.

ok another update, I renamed my folder back so I could auto update, after it updated I renamed folder again and tried to set the new path.

This time no exception error, however the auto configuration sets wrong paths (this used to work fine on old version before 2.1).

Here is the first folder which I set manually.

F:\Drivers\HG612\HG612_Modem_Stats_Programs-CURRENT
Here is what it auto configured to.
F:\Drivers\HG612\HG612_Modem_Stats_Programs-CURRENT\HG612\HG612_Modem_Stats_Programs-r2.0\Ongoing_Stats

So something broken somewhere still on this function, it somehow appended part of the old path that was set on initial execution instead of just appending '\Ongoing_Stats'

Also is the 2nd box (modem logs) supposed to be ongoing_stats or the new event & error logs folder?

further update. (after manually setting all folders)

Automatic stats collection works - but I had to reconfigure, my ini file was reset.

Graphd works, I can make ongoing graphs.

Snapshot graphs fails - this worked on the previous version I was using.  The snapshot graph folder it creates has a plink log but no graphs.

Is this failure from scheduled or manual attempts to produce snapshot graphs?

Could we see your ini file, the data from GRAPH6_ERROR.LOG from when graphing fails & CURRENT_ERROR.LOG_file_ERROR.TXT from a sheduled and/or manually initiated event when snapshot graphs should have been produced, but failed?

Is the Plink log complete i.e. around 330KB in size?


EDIT:

Just another question......................

Is the snapshot graphing program (GRAPH6.exe) stuck in Task Manager?

I am talking about on demand when I hit the snapshot button in the gui.

graph6 doesnt get stuck.

I guess I need to enable the extra logs for those logs as they dont exist, I wanted to keep them off as is some huge logs, will turn them on and try again to get those logs.

okay.

With "enable extra debug info logging" ticked, I hear a beep when it runs, and the graphs work.

With that option disabled the graphs dont work ;)

when the option is disabled plink is about 57kb, with it enabled its 330kb.

The attached ini file is after I enabled extra debug info logging, rest is left alone.

I can see why this is happening, when the GUI was written I only took into account the folders being one directory deep, so the path for the main folder replaces the first directory depth, thus retaining the rest of the directories. I've now updated the release version, so it will change the folder locations correctly, IE all the folder use the path of the main folder, so become sub folders of the main folder.

You can have you modem log where you want, I prefer mine in the event and error logs folder, but the default is the ongoing folder.

Additional update to the release version today.

Could I see your CURRENT_ERROR.LOG_file_ERROR.TXT when "enable extra debug info logging" is ticked.

I should be able to stop it beeping when it is ticked & also make the graphs work when it is unticked (but I need to see the log file first).



I don't have this issue at my end (Windows 7).

Are you running Windows 8 / 8.1?

I attached full logs which include old data, 18 may (today) I installed 2.1 and the last successful snapshot graph with the box ticked was done at 18:18.

Also there is 3 CURRENT_GET_DATA_ERROR files now in the scripts folder as well, did you adjust the throttling from the working version you gave me some weeks back in 2.1?

Ok I think we can ignore those 3 files, the timstamps match when I was doing manual snapshot runs so was probably conflicts.

I am running windows 7 64bit ultimate SP1.

When snapshot graphing failed & "enable extra debug info logging" was unticked, which PC Speed setting were you using?

the xdslcmd info --linediag command made 500 attempts to get the data before quitting & generating the CURRENT_GET_DATA_ERROR-XXXXXX-XXX.TXT files.


The FAST PC Speed setting adds some pauses to slow down the PC to the speed of the modem & generating log files also slows down the PC each time a line of data is written.


I'm 'guessing' that your PC Speed setting was SLOW, which means no pauses.

That's the setting I use at my end.
Even with Extra debugging info OFF, it only takes 227 attempts to get all the linediag data.

With Extra_debugging info ON, it only takes 66 attempts.



Just in case I need to make any more allowances for FAST PCs, would you mind trying to generate the snapshot graphs with these settings in the GUI & ini file:-

PC Speed FAST
Extra debugging info OFF
Extensive error logging OFF

When you have tried that, please post the relevant data from CURRENT_ERROR.LOG_file_ERROR.TXT


If it takes anywhere near 500 attempts to get the data with those settings, I'll either increase the pauses or increase the maximum number of attempts.


From memory, I think the highest number of attempts actually made on your setup (before v 2.1) was around 400 or so.

it was already fast so the data you need should be in existing logs.

it still fails now e.g. if I try it without the box ticked.

Can I ask why it needs more than 1 attempt, do you forcefully close the connection after a short time or something? or is the modem rejecting connections?
