DSLstats pre-release version 4.54.5 (now 4.54.6)
« on: June 05, 2014, 11:16:47 AM »

This testing release hopefully resolves the issues raised concerning v4.54.4.

Changes since v4.54.4:

- fixed non-functioning custom commands
- fixed non-functioning advanced tweaks
- fixed spike in CRC and FEC values after coming out of standby (hopefully)
- added option to plot per-sample values on CRC and FEC graphs
- improved the robustness of the program under error conditions, and added more logging
- (Windows only) when the HG612-Modem-Stats co-operation option is set, a dummy program called
  dslstatssampling.exe is run while sampling takes place. This can be detected by other
  monitoring programs to avoid clashes.

Linux 64 bit version just started fine, it does seem to get a     Handle error (0): success      message each time it samples. Just noticed each sample now shows

Handle error [115]: Operation now in progress

every time. For now I'll wait on your response before trying the W2K version. BTW this was with the Windows version stopped so no conflicts.

Thanks Stuart. Time to stick the HG622 back in and see what's happening.

Yes, I confirm that it does this with the HG622. It's quite benign (apart from filling the event log with unnecessary entries). It's the result of the extra logging I put in with this version - in this case it logs the result of the HG622 workaround, whether successful or not. I've removed this bit of logging, and it's now working normally. I'll upload fixed versions shortly.

[Later] Fixed version v4.54.6 now uploaded.

Two minor questions.

(1) It appears that usage of a Huawei EchoLife HG622 modem/router requires that the "HG622 workaround" option is selected. Why leave it to the EU to potentially miss selecting it? If "Huawei HG622" is the option selected in the "Modem/router model:" box then surely the "HG622 workaround" should be set automatically, thus dispensing with the "HG622 workaround" selection tick-box?

(2) Under the "Traffic Monitoring" tab, the options for the "Modem/router model:" box include two separate versions for a HG622, a HG612 (ADSL) and a HG612 (VDSL2) with no indication as to what the differences may be. As a consequence, with my HG622 I have selected "Custom" for the "Modem/router model:", selected "Other" for the interface and entered "0.0.38" into the "Other interface:" box.

Hmm . . .

With v4.54.6 I note that the webserver directory and its contents are not deleted when the Configuration options (under the "Webserver" tab) "Enable webserver" is deselected and "Delete files when webserver is disabled" is selected.

One thought could the dummy program be an option as I guess quite a few of us will not normally need it?

1) If you select HG622 from the drop-down list on the login page, it should automatically enable the HG622 workaround option. I just checked again, and it does here.

2) I'm aware that the traffic monitoring setup isn't entirely satisfactory. The reason there are two HG622 options is that different users of that model reported different interfaces, and the interface which worked on my system didn't exist on someone else's. If you select one of those options, the values it applies are all copied into the other boxes on the setup page, so you can see what it does.

To be frank, I became totally frustrated by these and other inconsistencies, which is why the description of the feature is still marked as 'Experimental' on my website. It doesn't ultimately matter what model you select on that page, because you can always edit the values in the other boxes, and it's these which are actually saved and used. The limited drop-down list is simply intended as a convenience.

I'll check this again.

[Edit] I just checked, and the webserver directory does get deleted here. When you try it on your system, is anything shown in the event log?

The dummy program is only run if you've set the option "HG612-Modem-Stats co-operation". Do you still want it to be a separate option?

The Dslstats Version 4.54.5 is working well no issues with Hg612_Modem_Stats which is also running in the background on a stand alone PC, and the sampling speed is still great, have not updated to 4.54.6 will give this version a good seeing to before I update.

Surely that "tick-box" is redundant?
