The '''MadWifi plugin''' collects information about Atheros wireless LAN chipsets from the ''MadWifi'' driver. It uses the <code>/sys</code> filesystem to identify cards handled by this driver automatically but can be configured manually, too. Because ''very many'' statistics are available, an advanced selection mechanism is provided.

All the following statistics are collected ''per&nbsp;node'', i.&nbsp;e. there will be one file for each node associated with the interface. If the interface acts as an ''Access Point'' (AP), there is one node per one associated station. If the interface acts as an ''Station'' (sta), there is an node representing AP with which the station is associated.

MadWifi plugin
Type: read
Callbacks: config, read
Status: supported
First version: 4.8
Copyright: 2009 Ondrej Zajicek
License: GPLv2
Manpage: collectd.conf(5)
List of Plugins

The MadWifi plugin collects information about Atheros wireless LAN chipsets from the MadWifi driver. It uses the /sys filesystem to identify cards handled by this driver automatically but can be configured manually, too. Because very many statistics are available, an advanced selection mechanism is provided.

Synopsis

<Plugin "madwifi">
  Interface "wlan0"
  Source "SysFS"
  WatchSet "None"
  WatchAdd "node_octets"
  WatchAdd "node_rssi"
  WatchAdd "is_rx_acl"
  WatchAdd "is_scan_active"
</Plugin>

Available statistics

Special statistics

Name Description Default
node_octets RX and TX data count (per node) enabled
node_rssi Received signal strength indication (RSSI) (per node) enabled
node_tx_rate used TX rate (per node) enabled
ath_nodes the number of associated nodes (per interface) enabled

Node statistics

All the following statistics are collected per node, i. e. there will be one file for each node associated with the interface. If the interface acts as an Access Point (AP), there is one node per one associated station. If the interface acts as an Station (sta), there is an node representing AP with which the station is associated.

ns_rx_data RX data frames enabled
ns_rx_mgmt RX management frames enabled
ns_rx_ctrl RX control frames enabled
ns_rx_ucast RX unicast frames disabled
ns_rx_mcast RX multi/broadcast frames disabled
ns_rx_beacons RX beacon frames disabled
ns_rx_proberesp RX probe response frames disabled
ns_rx_dup RX discard because it's a dup enabled
ns_rx_noprivacy RX with WEP but privacy off summarized

ns_rx_disassoc RX disassociation disabled
ns_rx_deauth RX deauthentication disabled
ns_rx_decryptcrc RX decrypt failed on CRC summarized
ns_rx_unauth RX on unauthorized port summarized
ns_rx_unencrypted RX unecrypted with privacy summarized
ns_tx_data TX data frames enabled
ns_tx_mgmt TX management frames enabled
ns_tx_ucast TX unicast frames disabled
ns_tx_mcast TX multi/broadcast frames disabled
ns_tx_probereq TX probe request frames disabled
ns_tx_uapsd TX on uapsd queue disabled
