TomatoUSB

Is there any way to view the backup file that the web creates in clear text? I see its in an .gz compression, however when uncompressed, the backup file either seems encrypted or in a binary form.

Reason I ask is that I recently moved over from dd-wrt and have all my bandwidth usage from dd-wrt nvram backup script. I know the format is different, but with some manual scripting I can make it match the tomato rstat format and was hoping to modify the existing backup and then re-import it back in so all my bandwidth data is there.

I do see the values when I searched the NVRAM, if this is the same format that whats in the rstat backup file, I guess I can just use this format and directly inject it into the NVRAM using the set cmd I guess.

I wanted to know how to do this too, so I gave it some thought and remembered the project is open source and would be fairly simple to find out :)

So here is something I made to read the rstats bandwidth file to clear text (JSON)

Sorry for resurrecting this thread, I came here from Google looking for a solution, others may find this useful as well.

Nice script, could you provide some instructions on how to use this?

Maybe I didn't compile it right. The resulting output doesn't match with the data from the router's GUI. For example, the bandwidth for June is 68 for download and 12 for upload. I would think they should have more digits than that.

@toolbox123, if you look at the code you will see that daily's are printed in M (MBs) and monthly's are printed in G (GBs). Look for print_counters.

void print_json()
{
        int i, prnt = 0;

        printf("{\"daily\":[");
        for(i = 0; i < MAX_NDAILY; i++)
        {
                data_t data = history.daily[i];

                if(data.xtime == 0) {
                        prnt = 0; continue;
                }
                else {
                        if(prnt) {
                                printf(",");
                        }
                }

                print_counters(data, M);
                prnt = 1;
        }
        printf("],");

        printf("\"monthly\":[");
        for(i = 0; i < MAX_NMONTHLY; i++)
        {
                data_t data = history.monthly[i];

                if(data.xtime == 0) {
                        prnt = 0; continue;
                }
                else {
                        if(prnt) {
                                printf(",");
                        }
                }

                print_counters(data, G);
                prnt = 1;
        }
        printf("]}");
}

Thanks.
My mistake. I used an old bandwidth file.

just came across this post I would like to view the rstats file in clear text? How do I use this script? Do I need a certain software to run JSON code?

Thanks

Hello again,

I wrote a Python script that I hope will make it easier for people to view their rstats backup files, unfortunately when I try to post it the forum thinks it is a link and fails because my low karma.

If someone is willing to post it for me I can PM you the code :-)

Thanks so much BobbyTables for the program/script. I wanted to do some automatic log-parsing to warn me when I approach the BW limit but I wasn't willing to put in the work of digging through tomato's source code to figure out how to do it… You made it doable :) Thanks again!

Thank you to those that posted solutions for reading the rstats file, I am using it to make a public page in my network to show the current usage for the month so my roommate doesn't go crazy with the downloading BluRays.

I would like to show the IP bandwidth logs, which I believe is in the cstats file.

How did you figure out how the original file was created? I am not new to web but I have much less experience than I need clearly.

can anyone help point me in the right direction?
