@paulparisi my friend who runs pfsense assured me that you simply paste the maxmind password (looks like about 20 alphanumerics) and the GeoLite2 database loads though it may take a little while to complete. I tried it and it seems to work.

I had never used the custom feature before 23.01, so I don't know if it had worked previously or not. If not, then a blank end date defaulting to "now", or an option to select "now, would be a nice enhancement.

I spent last Fall updating an entire website from PHP 7.4 to 8.1, a month of tedium trying things, looking at the syslogs, fix, try again, etc. What a pain... I am still finding PHP warnings and deprecations in my logs that I have to chase.

Thanks for the suggestion but after editing that file It stays there until I reboot the firewall.

This is expected.

I would open a redmine ticket requesting this option (second IP:port) to be added to the package.
By doing this request, you don't need to worry about future updates overwriting your changes.

Today I upgraded to the 23.01 RC and the speedtests seem to be working! 😳 😀

After the upgrade, I did get a few errors related to pfBlockerNG and 'Unbound Python' mode which I cleared by switching back to normal unbound, Force Reload, then back to unbound python, force reload, and then rebooting, and then deleting the py_error.log. Seemed that even though the errors were cleared, pfBlocker retained (and kept flagging) the old errors from earlier despite the issue being resolved.

@sergei_shablovsky
https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-ports
has the sourcecode for the packages.

Thanks You. I able to read official web. ;)

I just asking for OTHER great sources with examples :)

@ben_p In the UI, Diagnostics Menu | Command Prompt | Execute Shell Command

Here's some irony, it was working, now I'm getting a core dump again, joy!
Tried the how to, yea, I'll skip that.

@mdp716 Thanks. On your last investigation note:

A few pointers:
An easy way to do it would be to install one of the data summary packages in pfSense like “Bandwidthd”. There are others but I don’t know if they do it by hosts. They do by interface - if your tenants are on seperate VLANs

The slightly more blinky way of doing it would be to leverage the data from nTopNG and visualize it in Grafana. NtopNG has created a plugin for Grafana so you can query the data pr. Host or interface directly and both visualize and do math operations on (like summaries based om dates and what not).

@user202 said in ntopng - You're not supposed to be here!:

As I've stated here

On the left menu bar at the lower end there is the option "Developer"
hoover over it, select "Plugins" on the top right select "Reload Plugins"
It should again be working now

This worked for me, thanks!

@saggittarius seem you do yes. Perhaps some leftover data from your original install is causing redis to crash.

Stop your Ntopng service even though it is crashed.

Delete the following directory: /var/db/ntopng

See if it will start now.

@michmoor said in Squid Double auth:

Curious how effective do you find Squid as a tool for monitoring website monitoring?

i use Squid to monitor to which web sites entering users, and squid does it good

Looking at this myself, haven't tested yet though.

Appears that syslog-ng (an available package) will collect messages from text files. So similar to filebeats or splunkd, it should be able to read the files in from /usr/local/logs/current/. for remote delivery.

@scottlindner Bit late of a reply, but this data is stored using vnstat. The data is stored in /var/db/vnstat/vnstat.db You can copy it over using WinSCP then restore it. Assuming the interface names are the same it'll match up.

@gertjan thank you sir!! And Happy New Year!

@michmoor said in Wish list for Traffic Graph widget and Status: Traffic Graph?:

I think what you are asking for is already possible. I set the parameters of the traffic graph. Select my interface. Display. Mode..Then click the save button. Everytime i go back to it my default view i set is there.

I am so embarrassed. I've been using pfsense for 10 years and I never noticed the Save button 🤦‍♂️
