      And it is creating quality data for those interfaces? You see pings times etc in Status > Gateways?

        Yes.

          Then I would reset the RRD data at that point.

            And what's the correct process to do that?

              There's a button for it in System > Monitoring > Settings. In your first screenshot above.

                Ok, I just did that. How long do the RRD files get generated with useful data? Right now, I have a blank graph area and the Graph field doesn't show anything that I could choose from.

                  I believe 1h is the shortest interval it can attempt to display so I would wait at least that long.

                    Well, it's the same thing after resetting:

                      Have a look at the rrd file :

                      ls -alrt /var/db/rrd/

                      This command will revers list, with details, all the rrd files.

                      Are the time stamps all very recent ?

                          I assume you see no data for the OpenVPN gateway either?

                              Correct time and date on the box? I've seen some odd things happen there when it tries to display data from the wrong time etc. I haven't seen anything like that in 2.5.2 though.

                                Yes, time and date synced with NTP servers. I haven't seen any time issues with this box when I'm checking logs. They seem to be on point.

                                  Hmm, must be something different. Any errors logged when you open the graphs?

                                      Same from different browsers? Different clients?

                                      What's the history of that box? Has is ever seen any other issues?

                                      I'd be tempted to re-install it and restore it at this point if that's something that's practical for that location. If only to be sure that corrects it and prove it's not a config issue.

                                        Yes, and yes. Even on mobile phones.

                                        No, this did not encounter any issues yet. This is the first time. And everything seems to be working just fine except this. Well, there's one issue for some clients when accessing the weGUI and I forgot the cause but it's only happening on FireFox for some clients:

                                        27295670-8879-4a2d-b0fa-a46416df6362-image.png

                                        Not sure if it's related to the traffic monitoring issue though. The affected box is remote from me, so it's not something that I can do immediately. Reinstalling would be my last resort though unless there's no more troubleshooting steps that I can do?

                                          Well it's not something I've come across before so further investigation without direct access becomes difficult. At least beyond what we've already tried.
                                          I agree that cert error is probably unrelated and would not affect other browsers for the graphs specifically. The other RRD graphs are being populated I assume, only the gateway quality data that is failing?

                                            About the Firefox message.
                                            Look here.
                                            Firefox's help page makes me ask : what is your pfSense version ?

                                            The message makes me thing that the brwoser that shows that message knows about the pfSense cert exception ... but the cert cahnged on the pfSense side.

                                            You could do what the message proposes :
                                            Use the console or SSH - read Docs » pfSense® software » Configuration » Advanced Configuration Options
                                            and re generate a new cert.

                                            Are you sure the pfsense system clock is ok ??

                                            No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
                                            Edit : and where are the logs ??
