Using Argus to generate daily stats in OpenWrt

[Carter Bullard]

Hey Grame,
Argus compiled and ran great on OpenWRT years ago, but I haven't done anything OpenWRT related in a while, so not sure if it will be easy still.  Should be able to monitor wan0, no problem, if memory serves, but it is hardware specific, ...., which interfaces OpenWRT can monitor.

Collecting agrus data from an argus on OpenWRT is easy and generating the type of metrics you're interested is straight forward.
If you want to store these values in rrd's, we have perl scripts ( ragraph ) that can be used to maintain rrd's for your values.  No problem.

So I say go for it.  We'll help you get there !!!

The ADSL connection is through a separate router, so generating the statistics should be a simple matter of processing the packets passing through the WAN0 interface. Daily statistics I would like to generate include:
