Client List and Signal Strength to Log File

[MerlinUser32]

Hi All,

HW: Asus RT88U
FW: 384_7_2

Sorry if my search-fu is weak, and I missed the answer on the forum.

I am looking for a txt based output of the 'system log'/'wireless log' table.

That table displays connected client's name, mac, and signal strength. I would like that as a file that I can scrape, tail, etc. I do see a few files in /tmp (e.g. allwclientlist.json) and more detail in /jffs/nmp_cl_json.js, but neither contain signal strength. Lastly, I did an snmpwalk, but if in there, I missed that, too.

I was thinking of other options, if available, of a kismet like package via entware. That that logging to a file — I was hoping that Merlin is already keeping this info in a tmp file somewhere.

Any guidance on the above is greatly appreciated.

There isn't, it's dynamically generated by the router, with info taken from various sources within the router.

Well, Darnit!

That's good and not as good Good that it wasn't so obvious, where I should had noticed it. Not so good that I have to figure another way. It seems snmp or something like kismet running should do it, or some way to scrape the menu (Python time )...off to ponder!

RMerlin, Thank you for the speedy reply - Very much appreciated.

SNMP won't have access to any of the wireless info, as it's proprietary.

Ha! Ok then. At least you are narrowing my options. That is time saved. Thanks!
