This is a Python script to scrape stats from the Arris cable modem web interface. Results are meant to be sent to InfluxDB for use with Grafana, but other targets could be added. This currently only works with the Arris SB8200. Credit goes to https://github.com/billimek/SB6183-stats-for-influxdb
In late Oct 2020, Comcast deployed firmware updates to the SB8200 which now require authenticating against the modem. If your modem requires authentication (you get a login page when browsing to https://192.168.100.1/), then you must edit your config.ini file and set modem_auth_required to True, and set modem_password appropriately. By default, your modem's password is the last eight characters of the serial number, located on a sticker on the bottom of the modem.
- Install pipenv. On a Mac with Homebrew,
brew install pipenv - Install pip dependencies (run from the script directory of this repo):
pipenv install - Edit config.ini and change [INFLUXDB] host to your influxdb server
pipenv run python3 arris_stats.py
pipenv run python3 sb8200_stats.py --debug
The database will be created automatically if the user has permissions (config.ini defaults to anonymous access). You can set the database name in config.ini using the [INFLUXDB] database parameter.
There are two Grafana examples. The first only relies on the Python script from this repo, while the second relies on Telegraf.
- Setup arrris_stats.py to run from somewhere (There's a Docker example below)
- Import a new dashboard using the grafana/sb8200_grafana.json file. Originally exported from Grafana v6.3.3
- Install Telegraf on your InfluxDB system (or on a separate server/container)
- Drop influxdb/telegraph_internet_uptime.conf into
/etc/telegraf/telegraf.d/(customize IPs/hosts to your liking) - Restart/reload Telegraf
- Import grafana/internet_uptime.json into Grafana
Run in a Docker container with:
docker build -t arris_stats .
docker run arris_stats
