Gateway Monitoring showing no data

[R@sM!ke]

Not sure why this is happening but I have set the gateway Monitor IP option to use 1.1.1.1 but it's been days and nothing shows up for the stats on the lobby dashboard.

Is gateway monitoring enabled? The setting for it is inverted and disabled by default.

Monitoring is enabled and it's set to use 1.1.1.1 as the endpoint.  I will doublecheck again tho and will reply once I get home.

Thanks for the reminder @Franco ...  I did not even pay attention to this one setting "Disable Gateway Monitoring" which makes no sense to be enabled by default, why would someone want to always mark their WAN as up? I may be wrong here but....


If anyone else has this issue, this is how you handle it:

System -> Gateways -> Single

Click the pencil icon to edit the gateway

Ensure the Disable Gateway Monitoring option is unchecked.

* See attached screenshot for what to look for.

Historically, when we still had the infamous "apinger" utility gateway monitoring was not at its best so we decided to disable it by default. Since a while we only have the successor "dpinger" which works well enough, but on the other hand it can't break if it's off and it's not hard to enable it when needed as single WAN installs do not necessarily need it.
