# uplink - is not some program expecting uplinks to work!
**This README file is not up-to-date! It will be fixed soon to explain the installation and the usage of uplink.**
uplink is a tool to monitor the uplink status of AVM FRITZ!Box Cable and DSL based routers. It uses the TR-064 protocol over UPnP.
## Features
For now I can say that uplink can monitor the status of you FRITZ!Box uplinks. It can log to a file and writes results to a MariaDB/MySQL database. With some editing of the code you can you use SQLite too but this feature is not active at the moment. This will change in the future. I switched to MariaDB because I run uplink on a RaspberryPi and are evaluating results on my workstation. I am working on a Gtk+ frontend to generate statistics...
## Requirements
- Git (only for installing from Git repository)
- Python3 (running for me using 3.7.3 on Raspbian 10 and 3.8.5 on Arch Linux)
- fritzconnection >= 1.5.0
- pymysql >= 0.10.1
Just install the 3rd party dependencies using `pip install $PACKAGE` or your OS package manager
## Installation
git clone https://git.unixpeople.org/hanez/uplink.git
cd uplink
cp config.example.json config.json
### Configuration
Edit config.json to your needs.
#### Variables
- interval: The polling interval
- database: Path to sqlite3 Database
- uplinks: List of devices you want to poll
- provider: Custom name of the uplink provider
- ip: The IP of the router device
- password: The password of the router device
#### Example
{
"interval": 60,
"database_type": "mysql",
"database": "uplink",
"database_host": "127.0.0.1",
"database_user": "USER",
"database_password": "PASSWORD",
"cron": false,
"daemon": false,
"uplinks": [
{ "provider": "Cable Provider", "ip": "192.168.0.1", "password": "1234" },
{ "provider": "DSL Provider", "ip": "192.168.1.1", "password": "1234" }
]
}
### Create Database
sqlite3 uplink.sqlite3 < uplink.sql
## Usage
./uplink ./config.json
### Help
./uplink --help
## View collected data
I actually use "[DBeaver](https://dbeaver.io/)" for taking a look at the data uplink is collecting.
There will be a Gtk+ frontend to uplink at some time but this project is at a very early stage of development, so I want to write the collector first. Even support for other SQL databases is in planning in conjunction with the Gtk+ frontend. I use MariaDB only because I can move fast-forward.
