This message is a request for tips/help (RfH) to monitor DD-WRT.
I have a small home office network with six Windows clients and six IoT devices. My network router is running DD-WRT v3.0-r39956 std with the following options:
Use DNSMasq for DHCP/DHCPv6: yes
Use DNSMasq for DNS: yes
DHCP-Authoritative: yes
DHCP Used on LAN & WLAN: yes
Wireless: no
Ad Blocking: yes

To monitor my DD-WRT installation, I periodically run the following router CLI commands:

  1. cat /tmp/loginprompt
  2. uname -a
  3. cat /proc/interrupts
  4. ps -wT
  5. date; uptime
  6. netstat -an
  7. free


Steps 1 and 2 are run after startup (cold/warm/reboot/reset). Steps 3 through 7 are run intermittently. I need help to better understand the output from these commands to analyze the system status. Here is my sample output after a few hours of uptime:

sorry for the dumb question but what exactly are you trying to monitor?
