DSLstats pre-release version 6.0.4
« on: July 29, 2017, 02:53:57 PM »

Changes since v6.0.3:
- Fixed floating point error when saving snapshots of average errors in Windows version
- HG612_Modem_Stats co-operation option is now available on Linux and RPi versions
- added option not to include routine events (snapshots) in the event log
- fixed integer conversion error when using cat /proc/net/dev for traffic

Note: The HG612_Modem_Stats co-operation change is to support users who want to run both programs, but on different machines. On Linux and RPi machines, all the option does is force sampling to take place between 35 and 40 seconds after the minute. This assumes that HG612_Stats is set to run just after the minute. The user must manually ensure that only one of the programs is uploading to MDWS.

It works without errors now. Thank you roseway.

Stable on my troublesome Win x64 machine so far.

Is it possible that the errors you have eliminated could be the cause of such oddities as the program sometimes closing by itself when focused (instantly, without the usual "should I close?" confirmation dialogue) and the occasional "access violation" message on start-up?

It's just possible, but very difficult to be sure.

Working fine on my PI with HG612 Modem stats co-op mode set.

Thanks again for all your work on this software

Also working fine on my Raspberry Pi with NO HG612 cooperation.

Thanks for your efforts, Eric

@roseway
Eric, I upgraded by RPi program revision to the pre-release V.6.0.4 yesterday and have noticed today that I am only achieving 70% uploads now to MDWS (ID tiffy), have always achieved 99 -100% previously.

I am running DSLStats on an old Mk.1 B RPi which was OK with program V.6.0.1 although did top out the CPU for approx. 5 secs. just after uploading, this does not look any different with the new program revision, the CPU usage indicator appears just about the same.
I have obviously checked that all the configuration options are still the same after program change.

I know you have added an additional stat. upload to MDWS since the previous version I was running (V.6.0.1) could this possibly be pushing my old RPi into difficulties now ?
I can revert to the old program revision again if you think this would be a worthwhile exercise ?

@tiffy: there have been no changes since v6.0.1 which would account for intermittent uploads. HEC values have always been included in the uploads, but using zeroes as placeholders. The recent change was to replace the zeroes with real values. The amount of extra load on the RPi is negligible. Something else must have changed.

The safest way is to copy all the files to a new folder alongside the one you're upgrading from, and run it from there. If the configuration files are in their default location, that should be all you need to do.

Eric, Thanks for the reply, may well be coincidental, I've noticed that browser response has been very slow at times this morning, will leave alone for a day or two to see if the 70% uploads figure improves or gets any worse.
I have retained the V.6.0.1 folder on the RPi so I can try reverting back to that very easily if things don't improve, just thought it was strange that this was coincident with the program revision change.

Does the program automatically start sampling at xx sec past the minute, (without hg612 co-op)

Tiffy

Check what time the PI is sampling against a known correct time (https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fullscreen.html?n=298)

@ kitzuser87430 (Ian)
Not completely sure what you mean, my fault I'am sure, ref. sampling time checking.
In my previous post I'am refering to the 60 sec. (default value) program sample when the RPi (DSLStats) collects the modem stats and the CPU momentarily saturates.
It's my understanding, limited as it is, that DSLStats uploads to MDWS @ xx sec's after each hour, is this the time you are refering to with respect to real time checking ?
Is that the only time DSLStats uploads to MDWS ?
I am not running HG612 Stats so do not have the co-operation option selected.
