Based upon feedback at the YAMon Facebook page, I have added a Dark Mode option in YAMon v4 (yes, you must be running the new version to get this feature).
If you already have v4, you will have to update your yamon4.0.html file (which normally lives in /opt/YAMon4/www/). To get the latest version of this file, go to https://usage-monitoring.com/installv4.php. Alternatively, re-run install.sh (On the plus side, this'll make sure that all of your files are up-to-date)
Once you have the new file in place, you'll finda new 'Dark Mode' checkbox on the `Settings` tab.
The CSS that controls the background colours for dark mode can be found at the bottom of yamon4.0.css (https://usage-monitoring.com/current/css/yamon4.0.css). If you want to tweak my first cut at these settings, copy the .darkmode rules into custom.css on your router (by default, in /opt/YAMon4/www/css/) and have fun. Please share your preferences so that we can make this better for everyone.
Thx!

Maybe a stupid question, but I can't find the answer. Can you run version 3 besides version 4 or do you need to remove version 3 before you can run version 4?

Not a bad question at all. Just another example of how you can drop balls as you roll out a new version of the software. My documentation is not quite up to date.
Short answer: Yes, you can run v3 & v4 simultaneously on your router (it will add to the load on your router but the two function entirely separately).
For v4, I deliberately added new directories, iptables entries, etc. so I that could validate the results in a simpler fashion. During the installation and setup process, you will be asked if you want to copy your settings and data files from v3 to v4 (I recommend you respond with yes).
I will update the online documentation to clarify this ASAP
The only conflict that I am currently aware of is that the last version of the script to launch gets the symlink to the report - i.e., if you launch v4 and then v3, http://192.168.1.1/user/index.html will point to the v3 reports; if you relaunch v4, the same URL will now point to the current reports. The following commands in a PuTTY (or equivalent terminal app) will add the links back to your reports (change the paths/filenames as appropriate for your installation):
I would, however, recommend that you hold off installing v4 as I'm just about ready to push v4.0.5 from dev to current. I'll post another update here when it is ready.

Posted: Fri Jan 03, 2020 17:04 Post subject: YAMon 4.0.5 is available now
I just pushed v4.0.5 to the server... lots of little fixes (and one or two major). I think I'm about ready to finally drop the Beta designation and say it is ready to go. Feedback?
I recently found that one of my routers was struggling to the point where oom killer was complaining and so I have removed Yamon as I don't really need it. However it occurred to me that part of the problem is that everything is happening on the router itself and my configuration may have been adding slightly to the issue, although I suspect the performance overhead is relatively small.
I mount filestore from a linux server on to my router and all of Yamon is on the server. It works OK, but I have been running for about a year so maybe the volume of data is part of the problem.
However, what occurred to me was that maybe Yamon could be split into two parts. A capture function which simply grabs whatever data it needs and adds it to the files and then a completely independent GUI function which can run anywhere and could therefore be hosted by the server which is holding the captured data. The GUI function should also do whatever is necessary in terms of file handling so that the part on the router is only capturing data.
I'm installing on top of 3.4. It stops loading here what am I doing wrong?
You're probably doing nothing wrong. Please try loading the reports again. There was a consistency issue between the JS & CSS files in /dev & /current... it appears that I missed the fact that some of the files were not updated properly.
I've added some admin/utility code to hopefully prevent that from occuring again.
If your reports still do not load properly, also check the installation validation steps at https://usage-monitoring.com/v4-beta.php to see if anything else is going wrong.
Sorry for the grief!

Thanks for the feedback! Without a doubt, YAMon *will* add load to your server. I've done whatever I can think of to reduce that load as much as possible. Is it perhaps time for a new router ?
YAMon is effectively split into two distinct parts already. There are the bash scripts which run in the Linux instance on your router... those files capture the device traffic and structure it into the data files. By default, those data files live on the USB drive on your router; you can, however set an absolute path to another share/location on your network. I have built (and then abandoned) an option to send your data files via FTP to a completely separate server. I've not included that functionality in YAMon v4 because I've found that very few firmware variants actually include ftp commands. It would be really quite simple to add that back into the mix.
The YAMon reports represent the other half of the equation - i.e, the ability to view the traffic captured in the data files. ATM the http server which renders those views is on your router; as is the the primary HTML file. Most of the JS and CSS files are hosted at my web site because that allows me to quickly fix errors without you having to update things on your router. It would be very simple for you to copy that file to an HTTP server on another machine but it would be a little more complicated to maintain the links back to the data files. If everything was FTP'd to the secondary server, then the process would be relatively seamless but for the fact that few firmware variants allow you to FTP.
I did built a prototype of another YAMon variant which sent all of the data to a central database server... While my current ISP does allow me to have an unlimited number of separate databases, it has crippled the capability to auto-create them meaning that I would have to add a database for every user by hand. Another option would be to mash everyone's data into one large table but I did not think that would fly (or necessarily scale)
Does this help at all? _________________ Thanks to everyone for supporting YAMon!

Thanks Al. I already have the data on my server as the Yamon directory is mounted on the router from the server. A while ago I tried to run the GUI from the server, having linked my web service to the yamon directory, and have just tried it again. The gui starts up but then complains about not being able to find the devices file from data3/users.js. I tried linking data to data3 (as there is no data3 directory) and giving full permissions to both the directory and the file but still it won't load.
As you say, it may be that I need a more powerful router if I want to run yamon but I would still be interested in getting this split system working.
