How to download ALL your BQM data, not day by day?

Is there a way to do this?

I want to monitor how often my ISP drops out over long periods of time. Months, years. It can be very intermittent... it'll be great for days or weeks, then have a series of complete downs in short time frames.

I'd like to get, e.g., the total minutes it was done in a month or a year. I only see a way to download one days' data at a time with the XML tool for a given BQM. It's too much hassle to get 365 downloads, for a years' data.

Isn't there any way to get more than one day? Or better yet, simply all the data for a BQM?

FWIW the XML has a lot of fields I don't need. Oh well. It's far better than having no data.

No ideas, anyone?

I don't use the BQM for this, I use Uptime Robot. Even has a mobile app.

Thanks for the tip. But I see it's only free for 5-minute intervals and costs 7 US$/month ($84/year) for one-minute intervals.

I definitely want 1-minute intervals since it is still annoying if it goes down even for a minute. I want to track that, too.

Still, I'm sure that that would be an easy Yes for somebody with a commercial site or whatever.

I guess I'll suffer with having no ability to download all BQM data easily, sigh.

Does anybody know if I can just ask the admins for such a download? I won't bug them often... twice a year at most.

Don't know, ask them?

Either in the "Talk To The Staff" forum, or by email [email protected]

Will do. Thanks again!!

SmokePing is super useful for certain things. But if one simply wants to know how often their connection is up or down, something like BQM is decidely preferable. For one thing, it requires practically no knowledge or setup on the part of the user... all you need is an account and your i.p. For another thing, it's an absolute measure from an external, solid source. There's no confusion if there's a problem or e.g. the power or internet goes down at your house. (How well is SmokePing going to track the fact that it, itself, is down?) The BQM just shows you in black and white how often you were up and down, on a continuous graph. No extra work needed.
