Question

Hello,
how I can read the mobile traffic data from RUTX11?
For the RUT950 mobile traffic you can use mdcollectdctl. Thanks

Hello,

You can use ubus call command: 

• ubus call mdcollect get_overall '{"iface_name":"<interface>","conn_period":"<month/day/etc.>","sim":1}'

Or you can install and use most of bandwidth monitoring tools presented in this page https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/services/network_monitoring/bwmon

Edit: Fixed typing mistake, variables like month/day should be written without capital letters.

Hello,
if I write: ubus call mdcollect get_overall '{"iface_name":"qmimux0","conn_period":"Month","sim":1}'
I get {  "bytes": 991719079  }  as result.

if I write: ubus call mdcollect get_overall '{"iface_name":"qmimux0","conn_period":"month","sim":1}'
I get {  "bytes": 8984383810 }  as result.

Why this difference?
Some bug using "Month" or "month"?

Thanks

Kind Regards
Andrea

Correct syntax is month, it is case sensitive and lover case should be used, it returns wrong value if capital letters are used. It was my typing mistake that I wrote in Month in my first example.

Well in this case with wrong parameter Month I should get as result some error and not wrong bytes value.

As for now we are looking why it script accepts variable with capital letter it in the first place, since it is case sensitive. But until we fin a reason I can only provide you with correct syntax to use.
