Logging with dd-wrt?

[boshuter]

I installed dd-wrt on my router for the main purpose of being able to monitor bandwidth in real time. Does dd-wrt have the capablility to save logs to my pc of the bandwidth graphs?

If that isn't feasible, if I could just get my pc to save a screenshot every 10-15min., it would serve my purpose. (I realize saving ss is not a "networking" problem, but it's just another solution to being able to go back and see usage at a particular time)

I saw that while searching for a solution, but I don't think that will save the bandwith graphs.

I found an automated ss tool that I can set the interval between screenshots. The graph in dd-wrt displays about 5min worth of data, so capturing every 10 min would suit my needs fine.

Yeah, there's a tutorial on how to log the traffic stats of dd-wrt to a (my)SQL database.

From there, you could pull the data out using an ODBC driver (on Windows), or write SQL queries to analyze it.

Lots of very powerful capabilities if you're so inclined. It appears you can even have it collect traffic flow stats by MAC address.
