New status queues page

[Ocid]

The new status queues page is quite useless, it shows all Bandwidth, Borrows, Suspends and Drops as 0's and also doesn't show to which interface the queue belongs to.

This screen cap is from my test server (built on Sat Feb 2 21:35:45 EST 2013) showing queues built with the traffic shaping wizard. My main "production" server is reverted back to version that has working queues page (built on Mon Jan 28 07:27:34 EST 2013)

Hi Ocid,
  you're right… I am waiting for someone to have 5 minutes free to compile qstats after I committed some changes (see http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,58360.0.html). I thought that the "tools" were compied automatically on each release.

Here is a preview of how the new page will be shown, as soon as qstat is compiled...

Hi Ocid,
  the page works fine now… and it will work even better on the next beta-release! ;)

Yes, now it's working but shouldn't it show speeds as bits/sec (bps) instead of bytes/sec (Bps)?

Not working, after some modifications to traffic shaper the LAN/WAN lines are once again missing. pfSense version built on Wed Feb 6 19:40:53 EST 2013.

1. AFAIK qstats calculate Bytes, not bits. At least, this is what I desume from the code;
2. Try to kill the qstats process, then reload the page (which launches it again). The page itself elaborates the result of the qstats process. If this dowes not work, you can publish your /tmp/qstats file here.

Old style Status page did show speed as bps and now my 14Mbit/s downlink gives me over 12MBps…

Killing didn't help, here's the qstats file

qstats.txt

[mdima]

well, there is something wrong, but looks something BEFORE the page or even qstats… About this I don't know what could have

About the Mbit/Mbytes probably you're right, the source code of qstats was bringing me in a wrong direction.

[Ocid]

Now the current snapshot (built on Tue Feb 12 08:58:18 EST 2013) shows speed as bits, but b and Kb values do not have /sec (ps) added to them, Mb (Mbps) and Gb (Gbps) have.

Pull request #408:

And the Borrows/Suspends/Drops are constantly zero even though /tmp/qstats -file shows dropped packets:

any update when this page will display the interface then the queues?

@Cino:

For me now snapshot built on Wed Feb 13 16:46:49 EST 2013 (and few before that) shows interface and then queues, but only if I select scheduler type HFSC or CBQ. If I use scheduler FAIRQ or PRIQ then the interfaces are not shown.


[Cino]

i'm using PRIQ :-(

[Cino]

Do we have an ETA when the new queue status page will be fully operational?

[mdima]

Hi Cino,
  I just released a version that fixes the drops issue. The borrows/suspends should also be shown.
Btw, I will check also the other types of queues, I need to see what qstats saves in that cases.

Ciao,
Michele

[mdima]

Hey,
  everything should be fixed in the next release…

Thank you Michele… The page looks sweet!

[mdima]

You're welcome Cino! Even if the best result is with a hierarchical queue scheduler type (see image).

I can't wait to implement version 2.1 in my production environment when it will be ready, so I can see it in action with real traffic!

Ciao,
Michele

[xbipin]

the length field never gets populated

[mdima]

@xbipin:

the length field never gets populated

well… which scheduler type are you using? And, please post your /tmp/qstats file, so we can take a look at it
