Network Monitor Problem

[pablorvh83]

Hello. I have problems activating the Net Monitor service. I have NWSP2 and a Cloudbox, to do a test mount the hard disk in the Cloudbox and from there I lost Network Monitor in the image you can see that this service is disabled. How can I restore it?

Hi

Do you have enable first the network traffic monitor ? You have to do from the LAN setup menu by checking the option "Enable the network traffic monitor"

[pablorvh83]

Yes I did, but it returns an error that Enable Net Monitor cannot be enabled error: (- 2). I have checked vnstat.conf in the / var / directory I have checked nas_conf_xml in the / etc directory I have checked nas_services, the code of the php files without achieving anything.
Tomorrow I will show the image of the error so that you could see them.

[Jocko]

Ok

But I don't understand what you mean by "I have checked vnstat.conf in the / var / directory" because no vnstat.conf file is set by the firmware

[Jocko]

Hi

I deepened more your issue. I think there is an orphan file in /var: pid file whereas vnstat is not running. In this case by rebooting the nas, all should be right again

[pablorvh83]

Sorry yesterday I couldn't sit down to check the NAS. When I go to the configuration of the LAN network the service appears enabled, I discard it and there this error appears

Error: fail to stop or start vnstatd, err = -2

I have rebooted, shutdown, changed the vnstat value in the xml file located in / etc / from true to false. Executed the program that is located in / usr / sbin / vnstat obtaining the results in console mode. When I activate or deactivate the checkbox in the LAN configuration I always get the same result, you cannot save configarion.

Error: fail to stop or start vnstatd, err = -2

And the end result is the image shown above.

Hi

Executed the program that is located in / usr / sbin / vnstat obtaining the results in console mode

It was not a good idea because vnstat must be run as a daemon and unless you did it some options were missing
So we go to reset fully the vnstat environment:
I assume that vnstat is not enabled (checkbox unchecked) then run these commands

Code: Select all

killall vnstatd
unlink /var/run/vnstat.pid
chmod 775 /etc
chown 0:999 /etc
rm -rf '/direct-usb/fvdw/vnstat'
rm -rf '/usr/htdocs/.vnstat'

Store the attached package in a share, I assume fvdw, and install the new files:

Code: Select all

tar -xf /direct-usb/fvdw/restore-vnstat.tgz -C /

Then try to enable vnstat (use only the firmware interface!), you can or not reboot the nas first.

Thanks Jocko, today i am going to test it and i will give you an answer about what happens. Greetings.

Images of the procedure to restore the vnstat service. The service is up and running again. Thanks Jocko.
