    connmon connmon v3.0.8 [2025-Nov-16] - Internet Connection Monitoring Tool for AsusWRT Merlin

    I added spdMerlin and hostapd, along with corresponding log rotate items and see them functioning as expected: Nov 20 10:52:41 RT-BE88U logrotate: logrotate state -- version 2 Nov 20 10:52:41 RT-BE88U logrotate: "/opt/var/log/wlceventd.log" 2025-11-16-0:5:0 Nov 20 10:52:41 RT-BE88U logrotate...

    While I know it does log rotate by default, I believe, per the readme, that you have to give the guidance for which logs should be rotated. Some of the files in this directory may be copied to /opt/etc/syslog-ng.d/ to filter common messages from the default messages file to their own log files...

    Beta Asuswrt-Merlin 3006.102.6 Beta is now available

    Beta 2 updated on my BE86U Mesh node and running for 9 hours with no issues. After about ~15 minutes post update, Smart Connect and Roaming Assistant moved clients to the updated mesh node automatically and as of this morning it is perfectly balanced across nodes as expected.

    All of this sounds excellent! Following your feedback earlier, I read the information and examples of Scribe, which I will look into setting up something for hostapd logs similar to what you helped with for DomainVPNRouting. One thing I noticed is the potential need and separate steps required...

    Release ASUS RT-BE86U Firmware version 3.0.0.6.102_39112 (2025/10/29)

    I found the same with the latest firmware with intermittent rebooting every several hours. This did not occur with the prior official build (3.0.0.6_102_38984) and does not occur with the newest beta Merlin firmware (3006_102.6_beta). I was running as a mesh node and performing a full factory...

    connmon connmon v3.0.8 [2025-Nov-16] - Internet Connection Monitoring Tool for AsusWRT Merlin

    New thought, since I can envision people using conmon and spdMerlin together in many instances, it would likely be good for both add-ons to have a check for the other and give option to coordinate cron job scheduling to avoid one other. In my case, it was as simple as setting conmon to every 5...

    DomainVPNRouting Domain VPN Routing v3.2.3 ***Release***

    In my setup process, Scribe is one of the first items I add through amtm, so I wouldn't have had logging (at least of Domain VPN Routing) without Scribe having been installed. Presumably, debug must be a default since it wasn't something I had adjusted to on my BE88U. I loaded Merlin on this...

    DomainVPNRouting Domain VPN Routing v3.2.3 ***Release***

    The update appears to have worked in clearing the debug logs. Following running a full query of all policies, I now see the following: Nov 19 10:48:52 RT-BE88U domain_vpn_routing: Test IP Version - Testing IP Version: 5.11.0 Nov 19 10:48:52 RT-BE88U domain_vpn_routing: Test IP Version - IP...

    connmon connmon v3.0.8 [2025-Nov-16] - Internet Connection Monitoring Tool for AsusWRT Merlin

    Agreed, great catch! I think in my excitement that I double liked, which took it away. Fixed that now though. I'm also awake now and will test the debug log adjustments too.

    I can confirm that ensuring the cron jobs being offset did resolve the erroneous spikes I was seeing.

    connmon connmon v3.0.8 [2025-Nov-16] - Internet Connection Monitoring Tool for AsusWRT Merlin

    The way I read that, use the external to ensure it is the most current. Interesting to me, and likely others, as the way it is written in the configuration page almost makes it sound like a completely different binary rather than the same speedtest at just a different version: Speedtest binary...

    DomainVPNRouting Domain VPN Routing v3.2.3 ***Release***

    Interestingly, I didn't actively enable debug logging for domainvpnrouting, they are collected following a clean installation and I don't see a configuration setting to disable. In fact, the only logging that is prompted is when creating a new policy.

    connmon connmon v3.0.8 [2025-Nov-16] - Internet Connection Monitoring Tool for AsusWRT Merlin

    Yes, I do indeed. That was a quick find and in the case they are both running, it never exceeds 40ms, so I just changed the threshold for alerting, along with adjusting the time they run to avoid overlap, similar to what @Tarek Yag indicated. I am using the built-in speedtest as well, though...

    DomainVPNRouting Domain VPN Routing v3.2.3 ***Release***

    This worked perfectly and was the exact outcome/process I was looking to achieve. With other add-ons, the option to enable scribe/uiscribe is typically menu driven, so even having these reproducible steps is just as good and makes reviewing the System Messages that much easier. Knowing this...

    connmon connmon v3.0.8 [2025-Nov-16] - Internet Connection Monitoring Tool for AsusWRT Merlin

    Appreciate the add for notifications. One question that may just be on my end, however when looking at the charts/data, I see a periodic spike in ping and jitter that doesn't show when performing a comparable test from a client connected on the network. Is this expected or explainable or...
