fritzbox-munin

A collection of munin plugins to monitor your AVM FRITZ!Box router. The scripts have been developed using a FRITZ!Box 7362 SL(Amazon link) running FRITZ!OS 06.83.

If you are using the scripts on a different Fritz!Box model please let me know by

• opening an issue
• submitting a pull request

• FRITZ!Box 5490
• FRITZ!Box 7362 SL
• FRITZ!Box 7390
• FRITZ!Box 7430
• FRITZ!Box 7490
• FRITZ!Box 7580

Introduction

These python scripts are Munin plugins for monitoring the Fritz!Box router by AVM.

env.traffic_remove_max true

fritzbox_connection_uptime

fritzbox_connection_uptime shows you the connection uptime in days (requires fritzconnection)

fritzbox_cpu_usage

fritzbox_cpu_usage shows you the cpu usage (requires password)

fritzbox_cpu_temperature

fritzbox_cpu_temperature shows you the cpu temperature (requires password)

fritzbox_memory_usage

fritzbox_memory_usage shows you the memory usage (requires password)

fritzbox_power_consumption

fritzbox_power_consumption shows you the power consumption (requires password)

fritzbox_uptime

fritzbox_uptime shows you the uptime in days (requires password) (language dependant, see below).

fritzbox_wifi_devices

fritzbox_wifi_devices shows you the number of connected wifi clients (requires password) (language dependant, see below).

Installation & Configuration

0. Pre-requesites for the fritzbox_traffic and fritzbox_uptime plugins is the fritzconnection package. To install it

    pip install fritzconnection
   

1. Copy all the scripts to /usr/share/munin/plugins

2. Create entry in /etc/munin/plugin-conf.d/munin-node:

    [fritzbox_*]  
    env.fritzbox_ip <ip_address_to_your_fritzbox>  
    env.fritzbox_password <fritzbox_password>  
   

3. Create symbolic links to /etc/munin/plugins.

4. Restart the munin-node daemon: /etc/init.d/munin-node restart.

5. Done. You should now start to see the charts on the Munin pages.

Localization

Two scripts depend on the language selected in your fritzbox: the uptime and wifi_devices. Currently, two locales are supported:

1. German: de (default)
2. English: en

You can change the used locale by setting an environment variable in your plugin configuration:

env.locale en

Different hosts for the fritzbox and your system

You can split the graphs of your fritzbox from the localhost graphs by following the next steps:

1. Use the following as your host configuration in /etc/munin/munin.conf

[home.yourhost.net;server] address 127.0.0.1 use_node_name yes

[home.yourhost.net;fritzbox] address 127.0.0.1 use_node_name no

2. Add the following to your munin-node configuration

   env.host_name fritzbox

3. Restart your munin-node: systemctl restart munin-node

Environment Settings

Do not forget to restart the munin-node daemon as described in step 3 of the installation instructions above.
