What’s new in 3.12:
3.12 changelog, among others:
…
*) changed behaviour of simple queues - queues with no limit and type default-small
and no children actually do not get installed, as if there was no queue;
…
I have not updated yet any machine to 3.12, but i have some clients wich have no limit, but are graphed for behaviour observing (eg. see what and when they use, to know better their needs).
This is accomplished by simple queues, default small, with no limit, and no children.
Will these queues be graphed, and show what traffic passed trough them in 3.12 ?
Only want straight answer, from someone who tried it, or mt stuff, if possible.
I just don’t have where to test this right now.
this will add default-small queue type and graphing will not work.
then you will not get any packets counted in this queue, you have to set actual limit for the queue for it to work, if you don’t want to add limitation, but still want to see “usage” then you can simple limit that to max interface speed, like 1000M
Thank you Janisk, it’s just about what I was thinking, put sky-limit “something”, for the queue packets to be counted.
Off-topic:
Also, there was a topic I was very interested with (sorry for not finding it right now), regarding a possible password protection of the web page of the router, with access to the graphing of the queues or resource. The graphic access all of it is ok. At that time, there was an answer from your team that it will be proposed. It would be very handy to be able to show the clients what they are doing, without the main screen to be accessible or having to install MRTG on another machine and do some work just for that.
Was this proposed or worked on it since then ? Will you ask the people who could do it if they will ? Don’t know for others, but for me it would be a GREAT plus and value for the router itself, having this to show to the client, and let him see what he wants, without asking me for anything.
At the present time, i enable the web server for about half of hour a day, and tell them to consult graphs at that time.
I know how to put the queues. Relax. In the post it sais the queue does not work if no limit is put on it. So, your example should not work, as per specifications.
( I just put the other post before reading yours. BTW: Since i’m putting 3.12 for the smp issue and simple queue testing we discussed in another topic, i’m finding out how this works in the next hours. I’ll try with default and default-small too. )
