I may have had an installation hiccup. YAMon4 after the installation isn’t using my old file for Group & Devices and all the usage history copied over form YAMon3 isn’t visible. I think because YAMon4 had created a data/2020/02 folder and only sees that history.

If you are experiencing the users_created not found issue... the problem likely is in your users.js

Some bonehead left some old code in one of the files... (and you will only encounter it if users.js does not already exist.

Your users.js likely looks like this:
Code:
var users_version="4.0.6"
var users_created="2020-01-31 05:37:08"
var users_updated="2020-01-31 12:28:52" >> /opt/YAMon4/data/users.js
//MAC -> Groups
mac2group({ "mac":"5c:ad:cf:b1:84:92", "group":"Unknown" })
mac2group({ "mac":"44:91:60:85:fd:aa", "group":"Unknown" })
mac2group({ "mac":"f8:ff:c2:55:d5:da", "group":"Unknown" })
mac2group({ "mac":"f4:f5:d8:d1:ac:c6", "group":"Unknown" })
m
...


The offending bit is the
Code:
  >> /opt/YAMon4/data/users.js


If you delete that text, things (hopefully) should work (a lot better). Unfortunately the change has to be made on your router (in /opt/YAMon4/data/users.js) I cannot fix the issue from within the reports.

Sorry for the grief. Thanks to tvlz for spotting the error.

Sorry for the grief!

Is there any function to either have Yamon restart itself at certain times or to ensure it is running?

I just went to check some usage logs and found out Yamon hasn't been running for the past 3 weeks. This has happened before, but I usually catch it after a few days.

I had this happen to me a few times and ended up setting up a cron job in the end, i now restart Yamon every night and haven't had any issues since.

Not at all.. I use the following commend under
Administrator/Management in DD-WRT:

0 3 * * * root /opt/YAMon3/restart.sh > /opt/YAMon3/log.file

No reason why it couldnt be added to the /tmp/crontab file on DD-WRT I suppose. (the location on other router OS might differ).

This above command will restart YAMon every night at 3am.

Sadly, I have to stop using YAMon because mounting a USB at /opt kills my 4 ethernet ports on the back of my router.

I don't suppose there is a way to run YAMon without using USB mount?

I'm perplexed as to why the main YAMon process dies on you... that is a little distressing. It is also why I moved to a cron based system in YAMon v4.

Inserting a USB drive into your router prevents your Ethernet ports from working?!? If yes, it sounds like you might have a larger hardware issue

If the issue is mounting the USB drive to /opt, you can change the mount point (to /mnt or /jffs) perhaps. But again, I don't see how the mount point would prevent the Ethernet ports from working

It is (theoretically) possible to run YAMon from a network share (simba or similar) but I have no idea how to do that.

If you can figure

I still plan to move to 4 and now is probably a good time since the first of the month is here.

Will installing 4 move the 3 data over or will they be separate processes?

It is strange. All four ports stop working after a day or two. Reboot is a temporary fix.

I will try a remote mount, like NFS or Samba. Thanks

What router and firmware are you running?

I have used a number of Netgear routers running DD-WRT firmware with USB sticks and now USB SSD drives that contain 2 partitions labeled opt and jffs and never had a problem with the ethernet ports.

Wow... that's odd! Your firmware is current and the r7800 is one of the most common routers using YAMon (see https://usage-monitoring.com/router-tally.php). I've never heard of this issue from any of them .

However, a quick google and it seems like it is a known issue:

Good luck![/url]
