I see files in bwmon folder but bw_get will not return any data

I have found that you have to remove the .bw extension to get bw_get to work properly

bw_get operates on the data stored in RAM, not those data files. So yes, no bw extension required.

Yes, i see that. I also modified the /etc/init.d/bwmon_gargoyle to track 1440 minutes vs 15. That requires changing the parameters to bw_get vs the file names.

BTW, I recall somewhere seeing a command to dump those valid values, but I cannot find that.

if you type

Code: Select all

iptables -m bwmon --help

It should show you all options for the module. I don't think it shows you limits for each field, but if you have a specific query i might be able to help.

it seems iptables does not have a -m switch. but I found what I was looking for in then /tmp/bw_backup/do_bw_backup.sh file.

that seems to be some sort of memory dump of what are the latest valid combinations based on the configuration.
