AdGuard Home & Brume

Hi,

I am using the OpenWRT based image for my Brume and recently upgraded to 3.104 and therefore decided to switch from the adblock OpenWRT package to AdGuard Home.

Since I was a bit curious as to what kind of devices query which domain I upped the query logging in AdGuard to seven days from the default 24h. This morning I now realised that the query log is stored in /etc/AdGuardHome/data and the logging caused the internal storage to run full.

  1. Is there a way to reconfigure the log location for AdGuard? (it seems to rotate files so symlinking it is probably not enough)
  2. would it be an idea to expose the AdGuard dns directly in a future upgrade? Currently all DNS queries come from localhost which makes the logging less useful

Today I noted again that even with the one day query log the internal memory was running out (it did not log any queries in the last five days because the disk was full). I also checked the Github repo of AdGuard and there does not seem to be a way to customise the location for the querylog, so I ended up disabling it.

Do you have any special configuration in AGH?
I haven’t seen feedback from other users about this BUG.

Hi @luochongjun,

thanks for checking back in. No, apart from enabling a few block lists I don’t think I have added any special configuration.

Hi @luochongjun
Not sure if it is similar issue.
My MV-1000 (on 3.104 with adguard) typically run out of memory after 3 days. Rebooted, and memory used after 17 hours, it has already reached 48%. Observation when the memory usage increases, will have frequent Wifi drops (an Alfa dongle).
Even if Adguard is not used, the memory usage still increases. Not sure of the reason/s.

However, my A750S (on 3.104 with adguard) is more stable, with memory hovers around 50% for a long time.

are you talking about memory as in ram, or memory as in storage?

A snapshot maybe more better as I’m not that tech-savvy.

I don’t (didn’t) check everyday but my Brume worked well for 11 days before I started rebooting it for an unrelated VPN problem. I have some very big blocklists and here’s the memory status after 20 hours.


Then we are talking about two different things. I am talking about disk space, while you are talking about ram.

I have the same issue, the Free memory drops to 7% after a day
in my case AdGuard uses like 700 MB on Brume 1000 (no wifi model)

USE Putty to connect
To see the memory in SSH terminal
after login, type:
top

You will see this: (no upload of pictures allowed for me yet)

Mem: 559968K used, 462960K free, 968K shrd, 422288K buff, 60580K cached

USE WinSCP to connect
in /etc/AdGuardHome/config.yalm –> I reduced the log size to 50 and age to 2.

log_compress: false
log_localtime: false
log_max_backups: 0
log_max_size: 50
log_max_age: 2
log_file: “”
verbose: false
schema_version: 6

in /etc/init.d/AdGuardHome –> I have commented out system logging for the moment…
changed this line
from:
procd_set_param command /usr/bin/AdGuardHome --glinet -c /etc/AdGuardHome/config.yaml -w /etc/AdGuardHome -l syslog
To:
procd_set_param command /usr/bin/AdGuardHome --glinet -c /etc/AdGuardHome/config.yaml -w /etc/AdGuardHome #-l syslog

USE Putty
type:
/etc/init.d/AdGuardHome Stop
/etc/init.d/AdGuardHome Reload

for the moment I have 44% Free memory

If the memory will drop again then I will use the Shedule Cron to run the commands to reload AdGuardHome at 23:59 each day…

hope it helps and I hope someone finds a better way for this issue…
Also a solution for the AdGuardHome Update pop up message…

Free memory dropt to 31% and recovered a day later to 35%
I guess it is working for the moment.

MV1000 and S1300 updated the 3.105 beta firmware and fixed the AdGuardHome upgrade issue. Other models do not support AdGuardHome, but I can provide the test firmware.
