Good work Tim,

Thanks for another great addition.
So far there is nothing else to report than that it works like a charm ... hehe

Greetings,

Tim,

Excellent addon that works fine. Only issue I can see is that it does not pick-up my timezone.

I am 7 hours off from the GMT time labels shown. Not a major issue by any means but none-the-les. FYI.

Peter

Tim,


Thanks for all you do making the software better.

I can't seem to get to the wget www.timburgess.net/files/dashboard-index.php.patch

It isn't resolving from any of my locations.

Thank you,

Kevin

Hi Kevin, hmm can you try timburgess.net/files/dashboard-index.php.patch

Edit: Thanks Peter and John, Peter possibly a timezone issue with PHP -i'll investigate.

I tried that and still can't resolve. I can get to your FTP site but anything on http is not resolving. Strange, i tried from here and from a site in east Tennessee.

Actually from the east TN site I can ping it now.

Hi Tim,

While copying a large file this is what it displayed after a min or so:


Initially it was showing a more correct speed of about 7mb/s on a 10/100 LAN.
When refreshing the page it showed the correct speed again for 15 seconds, before it returned to the low speeds like in the graphic above.

Please advice,

John

Does it happen for every file transfer across your LAN?

The script measures the bandwidth before and after a small amount of time has passed. It's possible if your machine is under high load that it's not perfoming quite as anticipated. What's your typical load during a 7MB/s transfer?

Alternatively your system clock is misbehaving!

Thanks Tim, very nice.

There are a few problems I am having with this:

1. When connecting with IE8 or IE9 the Dashboard page never fully resolves thus the top menu is unusable. Also there is a security warning and if I select "yes" (i.e. use only securely sent information) then of course the graph does not display.

2. On the actual server's console (COS 5.2) the graph shrinks/compresses to the right with every update so after 32 updates it expands out again then on the 74th update it goes off the screen to the right leaving only the framework and part of the grid on the far right edge of the screen.

3. Connection with FF 3.6.15 it seems to be okay except that of course there is a security warning and ...

4. The left side menu stays fully expanded using any connection/browser mentioned above.

Hi Tim,

AFAIK, it happens with every large transfer and I also noticed that when the bandwidth maxes out, that I have connection problems to fe the webconfig and other stuff.

It's setup in standalone mode on a very bad setup network (that I hope to change, rather sooner than later ).
Could that also be a cause of this problem ... ?!?

Can you please explain how I can find the typical load ... ?!?

If the system clock is misbehaving ... I can try to find some scanning software to confirm that ... but any tips are welcome.

Please advice,

John
