Feature Request: Uptime for Connection

Post by hotzenpl0tz »

Hi,
atm gargoyle seems to display the uptime of the router on the status page. That information isn't relevant all that much to me. I personally would like to see the time the current connection (pppoe in my case) has been up. That would make it easier to troubleshoot what caused network troubles if my flat mates complain since I could a) see if the connection went down due to provider troubles with a quick look and b) have a reference where I should look in the logs to see if there was more.
Nothing pressing or important of course, just throwing it in as an idea :)

Thanks !

Something along those lines does sound like a good idea, though that will require some sort of watchdog program to test whether the wan connection is up.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll probably get around to it.... eventually. ;-)
