Why so narrow on Grafana MetaGeek DBx?

[therealwirednot]

wondering why top window was set to only 2 MHz wide view for 5 GHz on DBx graph? Are there concerns with going wider? And is the intention by developers that this should stay narrow and the config gets adjusted to move the narrow window around? Thanks.

These range values don't actually matter since "autorange" is set to true above where you circled. Once data starts streaming in, the graph will self-adjust to fit the entire width of the band being scanned. Similarly, the same panel will auto adjust for scanning of the 2.4GHz or 6GHz bands, or any other band that may be added in the future.

Thanks, Brian. I have data coming in bigtime as evidenced on bottom window and easily verified otherwise, my top window not changing in the least. That is where my question is coming from.

I'll dig out my WiSpy and see if I can replicate the issue... What WLANPi OS version are you using? PHX2025?

[therealwirednot]

Thanks Bryan. This is using MetaGeek DBx on WLPC2025 firmware.

[therealwirednot]

Thanks for the sanity check, Bryan.

[bryanward-net]

I was able to replicate this issue with both a WiSpy and a Clarity. Looks like an updated package has removed some of the data-gathering functionality this dashboard used.

[therealwirednot]

So… is there a fix?

[bryanward-net]

Yes. I need to package it up and have it merged into the official codebase.

WLAN-Pi/wlanpi-grafana#6

[therealwirednot]

Thanks. When that sort of action happens, does the version name change to something like WLPC2025-1 or similar?

@therealwirednot the fix will likely end up versioned as 1.0.10 (in the changelog of the wlanpi-grafana Debian package) once Bryan's PR is merged. The current version of wlanpi-grafana packaged in the OS you're running is 1.0.9. You can confirm with apt-cache policy wlanpi-grafana on your WLAN Pi.

[therealwirednot]

Curious if this is close to a fix? Just wondering, no nag intended.

[bryanward-net]

I've just re-done the PR for this fix. Once it's approved and built, as Josh said, you'll be able to upgrade the package.

[joshschmelzle]

@therealwirednot 1.0.10 has been built and pushed to the main wlanpi package archive. You should be able to apt update and upgrade or use the wlanpi-update command.

[therealwirednot]

Excellent. Looking much better. Thanks, fellows.
