fritzbox-munin

A collection of munin plugins to monitor your AVM FRITZ!Box router. The scripts have been developed using a FRITZ!Box 7590(Amazon link) running FRITZ!OS 7.00.

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

Introduction

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

fritzbox_traffic

fritzbox_traffic shows you the traffic of the WAN interface (requires fritzconnection)

If you do not want to show the interface maximum values, add the following to your plugin-configuration:

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

1. Pre-requesites for the fritzbox_traffic and fritzbox_uptime plugins are the fritzconnection and requests package. To install it

    pip install fritzconnection
    pip install requests
   

2. Make sure the FritzBox has UPnP status information enabled. (German interface: Heimnetz > Heimnetzübersicht > Netzwerkeinstellungen > Statusinformationen über UPnP übertragen)

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

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

    [fritzbox_*]
    env.fritzbox_ip <ip_address_to_your_fritzbox>
    env.FRITZ_USERNAME <optional: fritzbox username>
    env.FRITZ_PASSWORD <FRITZ_PASSWORD>
    env.traffic_remove_max true # if you do not want the possible max values
    host_name fritzbox
   

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

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

7. 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.
