Fixed Two Display Issues:
1. Version Parsing (was showing "regex)")
Before: Used awk '{print $NF}' which extracted last field
netifyd -V output: "Netify Agent/5.2.1 (...regex)"
Result: Displayed "regex)" as version
After: Use sed to extract version number
Pattern: sed 's/.*Agent\/\([0-9.]*\).*/\1/'
Result: Correctly displays "5.2.1"
2. Socket Connectivity (was showing "Disconnected")
Before: Checked for unix socket file existence
Problem: Netifyd doesn't create unix socket in current config
Result: Always showed "Disconnected"
After: Check if netifyd is running and producing data
Logic: Process running + status.json exists + readable
Result: Correctly shows "Connected" when service is operational
Also: Removed stat command usage (not available on OpenWrt)
Technical Details:
- Socket detection now based on service health, not socket file
- Works with both sink-only and socket-enabled configurations
- Simplified logic compatible with busybox/OpenWrt environment
Dashboard Now Shows:
✓ Version: 5.2.1 (was: regex))
✓ Socket: Connected (was: Disconnected)
✓ Status: Running
✓ Uptime: Accurate duration

Issue Identified:
- Netifyd 5.2.1 was crashing with JSON assertion error on startup
- Error: "Assertion failed: m_it.object_iterator != m_object->m_data.m_value.object->end()"
- Root cause: Legacy categories.json format incompatible with netifyd 5.2.1+
The Fix:
- Removed auto-creation of netify-categories.json from UCI defaults
- Let netifyd manage this file itself or operate without it
- Both approaches work correctly with netifyd 5.2.1
Technical Details:
The UCI defaults script was creating categories.json in v1.0 format:
```json
{
"version": "1.0",
"categories": []
}
```
This format is detected as "legacy" by netifyd 5.2.1, which then attempts
to parse it with newer code expecting a different structure. When accessing
JSON object iterators, the assertion fails because expected keys don't exist.
Solution: Don't create the file. Netifyd works perfectly without it and will
create its own if needed in the correct format for its version.
Verified Working:
- Netifyd now starts successfully
- 22 active flows captured on br-lan and br-wan
- Both interfaces online with 0% packet drops
- CPU utilization: 0.1%
- Memory: 14.5 MB

Added netifyd-collector daemon to aggregate real-time statistics from
netifyd and populate the dashboard with actual data.
New Features:
- Added /usr/sbin/netifyd-collector script
- Queries netifyd socket for flow data
- Aggregates devices, applications, protocols
- Writes /var/run/netifyd/status.json
- Runs every minute via cron
- Added /etc/cron.d/netifyd-collector cron job
- Added socat dependency for socket communication
Changes:
- Bumped version to 1.0.2
- Updated Makefile to install collector and cron job
- Fixed dashboard empty metrics issue:
* Unique Devices will now show count
* Applications will now show count
* Total Traffic will now show bytes
This fixes the "0" values issue in dashboard Network Statistics.
Dashboard will now show real metrics after 1 minute of netifyd running.

Fixed critical bug in get_top_applications() and get_top_protocols()
RPC methods where data was extracted with jq but never added to the
JSON output. The functions were using jshn arrays but only echoing
data instead of adding it to the array.
Changes:
- Rewrote get_top_applications() to output complete JSON via jq
- Rewrote get_top_protocols() to output complete JSON via jq
- Removed broken jshn array manipulation
- Added proper fallback to empty arrays when no data available
This fixes the "metrics vides" (empty metrics) issue in LuCI dashboard.
The dashboard will now properly display:
- Top applications with traffic stats
- Top protocols with bandwidth usage
- Flow counts and bytes transferred
