BW usage now reporting too low

Post by softstorm »

I might have messed up the monitoring data when I flipped between 1.12 and 1.11 a couple of times this month (I restored a bad config, had to firstboot) I don't need to fix this month's data, but what's the right way to fix the monitoring data from today onwards? Ideally I would like to retain data from February and earlier months. Feb showed 90GB per month (correct), but March shows 12GB (at least 8 times too low.)

Corrupted data is not easy to fix. You would have to forge the history file and reload it to the router.

No problem. Please recommend the best procedure to start over. I have a feeling that Restore Default Configuration isn't enough to wipe out the historical data.

It would, but if that is the only thing you want to do:

Code: Select all

/etc/init.d/bwmon_gargoyle stop
rm /usr/data/bwmon/*
rm /tmp/data/bwmon/*
/etc/init.d/bwmon_gargoyle start
Or, press the Delete Data button on the Bandwidth Usage page

Great answer, kicking myself about the Delete button, although if data has been collecting for months you have to scroll down a *very* long way to see the magic Delete button I never noticed. Have a great weekend, what's left of it.
