URL to get current user information [solved by parsing the log file]

edited December 2018 in Problems Now Fixed
I could parse the information on the http://.../admin page to get what I want, but a 'curl http://.../admin' doesn't include the list of channels and users shown by the browser. I'm not enough of a web programer to understand how/if curl and/or wget could get that information so I can parse it out for usage statistics log. Alternative solutions would be welcome.

Comments

  • While my solution is not exactly an answer, I too wanted web access to a log of users. What I did was wrote a script to run 'make users' and pipe the output to a file. Then that file is sent (FTP) to my server. On the server side I wrote an application to parse it and store the data in a SQL database. After that I wrote a simple template to retrieve and display the last n rows from the table.

    I noticed that the 'make users' command only lists the users LEAVING. Therefore I modified the Makefile to also include ARRIVED. Below is some code that might be useful to you or someone else.
    mu_ftp.sh
    #!/bin/sh #Save this file in /root, not /root/Beagle_SDR_GPS or it will be overwritten upon kiwi update! HOST='ftp.local.server' USER='kiwisdr' PASSWD='ftp_passwd' FILE='mu.txt' FILEDIR='/root/' MUDIR='/root/Beagle_SDR_GPS' #When the kiwi is updated, the Makefile is overwritten #if necessary, add the recipe to the Makefile if ! grep -Fq "LEAVING_ARRIVED" $MUDIR/Makefile then sed -i '/LEAVING = /r Makefile_add_njc.txt' $MUDIR/Makefile fi #run make command make -C $MUDIR users3 > $FILEDIR$FILE #FTP to server ftp -n $HOST

    Makefile_add_njc.txt
    LEAVING_ARRIVED = grep -i -e leaving -e arrived | $(LOCAL_IP) users3: -@$(LOGS) | $(LEAVING_ARRIVED) @rm -f /tmp/kiwi.log

    Place both of the above files in /root, not /root/Beagle_SDR_GPS or it will be overwritten upon kiwi update!
    Run mu_ftp.sh as a cron job by running crontab -e and adding a line line this to the bottom of the file, followed by an empty line.
    */5 * * * * /root/mu_ftp.sh
    This runs the script every 5 minutes and should send a mu.txt file to your ftp server.

    Here is the webserver code I used to parse mu.txt and save to the database. It is a coldfusion webserver backend, but it should be relatively easy to modify for something else.


    logFile = ExpandPath(".\") & "mu.txt";
    oFile = Fileopen(logFile,"read");
    arrConns = [];
    regex = '((Jan|Feb|Mar|Apr|May|Jun|Jul|Aug|Sep|Oct|Nov|Dec)\s*\d?\d)\s*(\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}).*?(\d{0,5}\.\d{2})\s*(.Hz)\s*([a-zA-z_-]+)\s*(z\d{1,2})\s*([a-zA-Z0-9-_]{0,10}\s*)("((?!\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}).+)"|\s*)\s*"?(\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}|\s*)"?\s*(.+)\s*\((ARRIVED|LEAVING)';

    while(NOT FileisEOF(oFile))
    {
    arrData = [];
    ln = FileReadLine(oFile);
    //f = ln.match(regex);
    f = reFindNoCase(regex,ln,1,true);
    idx = 1;
    for(lng in f.len){

  • Thanks.
    Wow, that is a *lot* of programming to extract information which the kiwi already knows.
    I'm not familiar with SQL, so it isn't clear to me what criterion you are using to decide when the ARRIVED is not matched by a following LEAVING
    Those lines are extracted from the /var/log/messages file which persists through reboots, so it seems that there could be many stale ARRIVED lines in /var/log/messages
  • Thanks for your reply.

    I'm not doing anything to match up the LEAVING with an ARRIVED. The SQL MERGE only makes sure there's no dupes inserted to the DB. Otherwise it's merely parse of the log. Another thing I didn't find in the logs (at least the make users output) was a listing of all the changes a user made instead of just the ARRIVED and LEAVING. Perhaps that info is somewhere in /var/log/messages? If so it might make sense to parse that instead of the make users output

    I agree it would be better if this was integrated into the kiwi itself, but for me this was the fastest way I know to get what I wanted. My hope is that maybe pieces of this, like the regex or the Makefile mods, might be usable to the next tinkerer...
  • you have stimulated me to find a solution. from the command line of the kiwi:

  • Providing this information via a URL opens up a lot of cans of worms I don't have time to deal with. You can't provide user info accessible to anyone (like /status) because the privacy crowd will show up with torches and pitchforks (we've had enough trouble in the past with the issue of user ip addresses and geolocations). And you can't add a quick and easy authentication scheme (like adding the admin password in cleartext to the URL) without the security people jumping down my throat again.

  • I agree with your choice for more security.

    And I have found it is easy to use awk to extract the status of each kiwi rx channel. This one liner gets the current status of all the rx channels at KPH:

    Rob,
    I added a couple of statements to allow for passwords instead of keys and dropped the LEAVING lines. Do you think I have it correct or am I missing something. This syntax is taxing.

  • You have introduced me to a new linux utility. None of my Kiwi's, including those with user and admin passwords, require an ssh password so I haven't needed it. But your syntax appears correct.

    One further enhancement to the script is to change the awk 'for(=0; i< 4; ++i) ...' statement to 'for (i in last) ...' so that all channels are printed of both 4 channel mode and 8 channel mode Kiwis.

    However there is one limitation to this script: If a channel always or never has a listener AND the /var/log/messages file is rotated by linux, then the state of that channel is not printed. An example of that can been seen on kiw73 where my wsprdaemon.sh has been listening to Kiwi73 channel #0 for 22 hours, but the /var/log/messages file is only 8 hours old.

    But in preparing this response I have just noticed that in each printed line the field previous to the rx channel number appears to list the state of all channels at the log line time. So this line reports that on Dec 17 14:24 a listener terminated a session on kiwi73 channel 1 which freed that channel and left channels 0 and 3, while channels 1 and 2 were then free ('0..3'):

    So a further enhancement of this script would be to look in the archived /var/log/messages* files for the missing channel lines.

    But I'm completely satisfied skipping that enhancement and getting this report:

  • Be careful making changes to /root/.bashrc New Kiwi releases will overwrite that file (and .profile) if there have been changes made in the release (e.g. I have added some new command alias). Put your changes in /root/.bashrc.local The Kiwi will create this file with some defaults if it's never existed before but then leave it alone forever after that.
    njc
  • It is very difficult to declare my line as an alias. Instead, declare it in a function definition in the .bashrc.local. Functions are executed just like aliases, but don’t suffer from all the problems alias declarations suffer from “ and ‘ characters
  • I settled on a bash script file to run it. The file resides on my local computer so no worries about the KiwiSDR updates affecting it.

  • @KA7U could you please post your bash script? Also how would I run this on the kiwi .bashrc.local? I'm not all that familiar with bash.

    Thanks,

  • You will need to ssh or putty to your Kiwi, or you can add and run this on you Linux PC or Mac
    Add these five lines to the plain text file "/root/.bashrc.local on your Kiwi". Change the "62 71 ... 78" and "10.14.70." to match the IP address(s) of your Kiwis
    The very friendly 'vi' text editor built into the Kiwi can be used to do this. Google for help on using vi.

    function kwu() {
    for kw in 62 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78; do
    ssh root@10.14.70.$kw "awk '/ARRIVE|LEAVING/{last[\$8]=\$0} END {for (i in last) printf \"kiwi${kw}: %s\n\", last[i] }' /var/log/messages";
    done 2>&1 | grep "^kiwi"
    }

    Then execute "source /root/.bashrc.local"
    Then execute "kwu" from that Kiwi's cmd line to get the list of users.
  • Thank you. Haha yes I know vi, learned it a long time ago but I prefer nano for most things. I appreciate the help.

    This script is designed to run from a linux terminal somewhere on the network. You can run it from a KiwiSDR but you will need to ssh into each kiwiSDR from the KiwiSDR you are planning to run it from first to establish the ~/.ssh/known_hosts file. You will also need to install sshpass if you are dealing in ssh passwords. Once you have initialized one of the KiwiSDRs or all of them you might have, if you wish, then you can run this bash script file from the kiwiSDR you have already logged into.

    If the script does not query all the IP addresses in your list, an extra character may have slipped in with the cut and paste operation from this blog. If that happens, type it in the editor and double check the syntax.

    Ron,
    This script is not working for me. When I run it I get only four older log entries, all LEAVING. If I look at a tail of /var/log/messages I can see that there are more recent entries in there. My script file:

    #! /bin/bash
    #
    #
    for kw in 103; do ssh root@192.168.68.$kw "awk -v kiwi=$kw '/ARRIVED|LEAVING/{last[\$8]=\$0} END {for (i in last) print \"kiwi\" kiwi \": \" last[i]}' /var/log/messages"; done 2>&1 | grep "^kiwi"


    Here's the output I get:

    How does the {last[\$8]=\$0} work? Does it create an array which you're iterating in the for loop?
  • edited December 2018
    I copied your line to t.sh on my Kiwi and modified the addresses and all works fine for me.
    Did you supply your own BB or modify the OS? Your output suggests the awk program is not running and the output of the awk program is not being piped to the 'grep "^kiwi"'.
    The awk program fills a awk array "last[*]" (indexed by the rx channel # field $8) with lines which contain ARRIVED or LEAVING. When awk reaches the END of the file it iterates through that array and prints out the last saved lines.

    =======
    I mosty run the script from my Raspberry Pi where I define it as a function in my .bashrc. This version simplifies the awk program so fewer \"s are required:

    function kwu() {
    for kw in 62 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78; do
    ssh root@10.14.70.$kw "awk '/ARRIVE|LEAVING/{last[\$8]=\$0} END {for (i in last) printf \"kiwi${kw}: %s\n\", last[i] }' /var/log/messages";
    done 2>&1 | grep "^kiwi"
    }
  • I just tried running it from another machine (raspi) and I get mostly the wrong output, less the GNU Debian BeagleBone stuff at the top. There's some newer entries but still an old one, all LEAVING, and only 4 total.
    I also tried the latest version of gawk with no change. I didn't change anything on the OS.
    As I study the output, is it possibly returning one entry (the latest) for each channel (or whatever the 0,1,2,4 figures are)? That's what it looks like.

    Also, do you know what the "action 17" suspended is about?

  • The grep at the end of my line filters out all lines except those which start with "kiwi". If other lines appear on your output, then the pipe '|' isn;t working. the ssh command produces a lot of stderr output which is supposed to be filtered by that grep.
  • The grep is working. That stuff with the syslogd is from the tail of /var/log/messages, which I included to show what's there and some of what I think the script should be returning. The last block is my output from the script.
  • the script only outputs the most recent ARRIVED or LEAVING line for each rx channel. It appears that is what you are getting, I have no idea of the meaning of the syslogd lines.
  • Then it's working as intended. Thanks.
  • @njc
    Nick,
    I'm sorry about being late getting back to this. Busy social life here. Hi Hi

    I think this will work for you:
    #! /bin/bash
    #
    for kw in 107 138 119;
    do sshpass -p password ssh -q root@192.168.6.$kw cat $kw /var/log/messages |grep -E 'ARRIVED|LEAVING' | tail -8
    done

    This should give the last 8 arrived and leaving entries in the /var/log/messages file and a header for each listing giving the last 3 digits of the IP address. I haven't figured out how to get nice formatting for the IP header, so for now I'm settling for an error message following the 3 digits of the IP. An example output follows:

    So for whatever it is worth... If you are a bash programmer, perhaps you would add the magic words to make this look better.

  • do echo "=== $kw ===" ; sshpass -p password ssh -q root@192.168.6.$kw grep -E 'ARRIVED|LEAVING' /var/log/messages | tail -8
  • Thanks, guys. I think I have it all working the way I want to now.

    Thanks to John's new '/users' URL, I have been able to refine my bash script to list the Kiwis and their users and have attached it to this as a .txt file
    Here is an example of its output when run at KPH which looks cleaner if I could use a fixed width font:

    To get fixed-width font select text block and apply "code" option from paragraph-symbol pulldown (6th from left). I have done this for your post.
