Hi.

I have AX88U with latest firmware from Merlin as well as latest connmon v3.0.2 but I had some problems with my ISP and I have tried to change the settings for ping to get a more regular readout. Setting to every 26min or so, then 1 hour, then 2 hours had no impact on when the ping would perform.

Every day
Mode: Every X hours/minutes

I am stuck from my previous setting and ping timer is working only 00:29 once per day even though I had it every 29 minutes or so.
Did anyone else have this problem maybe?
 
Are you trying to set the value via the GUI or CLI?
 
and can you post a copy of the config file from /jffs/addons/connmon.d or /opt/share/connmon.d , redacting any login information for any notification methods you use?
 
is the setting showing in the GUI as what you set it to even after a refresh, or is it reverting to the last value?
It's showing the value which I have set. I've changed to 23 minutes, left for a day or two, went back, it shows 23 but test are not that in that time range. Same goes for 1 hour, 2 hours and so on.
 
This is from /opt/share/connmon.d/config file. I have modified it to 2 hours.

Code:
PINGSERVER=195.xxx.xxx.xxx

STORAGELOCATION=usb
PINGDURATION=60

SCHDAYS=*
SCHHOURS=*/2

Here is the problem :)

Code:
user@router:/tmp/mnt/skynetusb/entware/share/connmon.d# cru l | grep connmon
28 */0 * * * /jffs/scripts/connmon generate #connmon#
user@router:/tmp/mnt/skynetusb/entware/share/connmon.d#

user@router:/tmp/mnt/skynetusb/entware/share/connmon.d#
try running
Code:
cru d connmon
and then running a ping test
 
Thank you. I have checked with "cru l | grep connmon" and got this output

Code:
0 */2 * * * /jffs/scripts/connmon generate #connmon#

How would I set it to run at some random time? For example every 2 hours and 23 minutes? Trying not to interfere with spdMerlin.
