Web monitor stucks

Post by ViBE »

This problem is present in recent releases too. When the web monitor reach the recent visited site limit it stops refreshing. It should automatically overwrite the oldest entries. It should scroll the list. Sometimes overwrite a few entries but that's really rare.

Here's an example:

And it's pretty annoying that the only way for refresh is clear history/reset. And reset also restart PPPoE... this resetting anomaly also ridiculous.

I've tested this the last time someone reported it, and I found it to be working perfectly.

Have you tried setting a lower recording limit? To see if it is any different?

I set the limit to 500 but a long time ago I'm using the default limit. Sometimes it resets by itself but usually stucks no matter how much is the limit.

I'm also testing this.

Already tested with a lower limit value (50), and it seemed to work as expected: old entries being removed, as newer entries take place.

Now i'm testing with the default limit value (300). Since there's about 15+ devices around here, it shouldn't take long to reach the limit. Let's see how it goes, will report back with results.

Couldn't get "Recent Web Searches" to work (any reason ?), so i'm only testing "Recently Visited Sites".

And the last entry on the list?

Because I noted that the first entry on the list, is actually the oldest one, newer entries go in the bottom of the list. That's rather confusing...

Do your "web search terms" show up on the list?

Yes the picture represent the last entries. Don't mind about the order. The search history is working I guess. There are a few entry on my list. But not sure since most of the communications goes through HTTPS so it cannot record my searches.

Exactly as above. Non https searches will show up (not many these days)

OK, i'm still testing/monitoring this, and after about two weeks i've come with this:
d3fz wrote:Already tested with a lower limit value (50), and it seemed to work as expected: old entries being removed, as newer entries took place.
After that, i've tried increasing the limit in small steps (300/500/600) up until 1000, although i couldn't reach the limit with the last option, it got stuck around 750 entries. In general, it worked as expected (as quoted above), but eventually got stuck for no apparent reason, no matter what the limit was set to.

What called my attention though, was every time it got stuck out of nowhere, the last logged entry was always pointing to my brother's ip address, which domain happened to be "us.launcher.battle.net" (entry 755, limit set to 1000), another time it was "eu.launcher.battle.net" (entry 332, limit set to 500).

Note that these domains showed up another times, and there was no problem, but when it got stuck, they showed up as the last logged entry. Might not have anything to do with the actual cause of the problem, but i found it rather interesting.

On the other hand, i've scheduled my router to reboot every week, and everytime my router rebooted, webmon logged for the next minute, then got stuck. Tried manual reboot, same problem. This was after reaching the limit of 500 entries, and all working as expected for a few days.

Logread did not showed anything relevant when that happened.

Quick noob question about crontab's tasks:

Code: Select all

0 0,4,8,12,16,20 * * * /usr/bin/backup_quotas >/dev/null 2>&1
0 0,4,8,12,16,20 * * * /tmp/do_webmon_backup.sh
0 0,4,8,12,16,20 * * * /tmp/bw_backup/do_bw_backup.sh
Since they're all set to be executed at the time, does one interfere with the other ? (Heavier/lighter task, for example)
Couldn't get "Recent Web Searches" to work (any reason ?), so i'm only testing "Recently Visited Sites".
As stated before, only non https searches showed up, which happened to be the case of my Samsung TV's browser searches.

Quick update about this issue.

After another weekly scheduled reboot (every Monday 5am, today), Web Monitor got stuck again (this time with 184 entries, limit=500), about one minute after reboot.

Last logged entries before/after reboot:

Code: Select all

192.168.1.10	11/09 4:54:16	init-p01st.push.apple.com
192.168.1.8	11/09 4:55:27	xtra2.gpsonextra.net
192.168.1.13	11/09 5:00:51	connectivitycheck.android.com
192.168.1.8	11/09 5:01:48	connectivitycheck.android.com
192.168.1.8	11/09 5:01:48	clients3.google.com
In my case, i think it's safe to say that a reboot triggers the problem.

I have pretty much all services enabled, QoS, Quotas, etc.

Can anyone else confirm this?
