Guardia di Porta
A simple rails app to monitor connected clients on a dd-wrt based router
###Components This monitoring app has two components:
- A simple shell script that get from the router the state of connected clients
- A rake task that update the clients status on the database
The shell script is:
#!/bin/bash
echo "Getting connected clients list on $(date)"
/usr/bin/ssh root@[router ip address] wl assoclist > /[path to rails app folder]/stations_dumpIt is run by the system cron deamon every minute with this line placed in /etc/crontab
*/1 * * * * pi bash /[path to rails app folder]/guardiadiporta.sh > /dev/null 2>&1
the output of this script is something like this:
assoclist A0:EF:CE:59:2D:ED
assoclist 5C:8B:4E:3C:EB:FE
assoclist 4C:8D:70:F4:3F:4C
assoclist EC:3E:83:42:80:24
assoclist 78:B3:E4:E3:42:13
assoclist B0:C5:54:A0:D6:27
and it will be written on the stations_dump file in the rails app.
The rake task on the other hand gets runned every minute by whenever gem, parses the stations_dump output file and updates the stations status in the database.
##ToDo Implement a vertical timeline with the stations in and outs using this.
