Traffic graph not shown for local ips

[stephenw10]

Uploads OK for me. Weird.

[stephenw10]

Still something funky about switching between rate and iftop but at least what is shows is correct with that.

@stephenw10 I pasted in - and way better

So could/should this be applied to 23.05.1 ?? This seems to show more stuff - like the broadcast IP, etc.

I don't normally use the traffic graphs for anything I would truly need - so I could wait til 24.03 drops for sure for my main system.. But prob would want to add such a patch to the manager for users to easy find and apply.

[stephenw10]

Yeah it's petty basic and not much has changed on that page in a while. It seems to apply to everything I've tried.

Yeah, without the -l switch rate excludes traffic between hosts inside the considered subnet so that includes the interface address itself which is unexpected in this context IMO.

Finally you guys figure it out this bug in 2.7 :) . I will other features are well if those are working fine with out a bug :) . @johnpoz is there any patch to fix this issue.

@scorpoin said in Traffic graph not shown for local ips:

s there any patch to fix this issue.

yeah @stephenw10 posted a link to it.. Just download that diff, copy and past its stuff into the patches package (you have to install that)..

See here.. I just called it traffic..

The link to the dif steve posted

Sure seems to have fixed it on my 2.7 VM..

I have applied the given patch but yet not change , I'm using Pfsense CE 2.7 or do I need to reboot machine ? I have tried with patch file upload as well as paste the content into patch content box.

Regards

[stephenw10]

Did you apply the patch after creating it?

[scorpoin]

@stephenw10

Correct me if I'm wrong , below is for ipv6

(($filter == "local") && ((ip_in_subnet($infoarray[0], $intsubnet)) || (ip_in_subnet($infoarray[0], $intsubnet6)))) 

If it is can I change that variable from 6 to 4 using ipv4

(($filter == "local") && ((ip_in_subnet($infoarray[0], $intsubnet)) || (ip_in_subnet($infoarray[0], $intsubnet4)))) 

yes I did create patch and just copied that content and paste it into patch text area and save /apply .

When doing ssh to pfsense according to patch path /src/usr .... it does not exist but below path is there.

/usr/local/pfSense/include/www/bandwidth_by_ip.inc

that path having the actual file , I guess some how patch does not applied , changes are not reflect into above file .

[stephenw10]

If the patch has the wrong path or the path strip count it wrong etc you would not be able to apply and the 'apply' button will not show. If it showed and you were able to click it it should have applied.

The variable $intsubnet contains the interface IPv4 subnet. $instsubnet6 holds the interface IPv6 subnet. That line checks that the IP is in one of them before displayinbg it if 'local' is set.

Observation from 23.09.b.20231023.1701

if the selection is "rate (standard)" the IP list will populate and then clear immediately with each refresh (so the list mostly appears empty)

if the selection is "iftop (experimental)" the IP list will populate and then just refresh with the update (so there is always IP addresses in the list)

Edit: and the selection for WAN does the same thing. "rate" standard shows the IP updates periodically and clears list. "iftop" the ip stays in the list and the bandwidths just refresh.

[stephenw10]

Yes, that's true. The output from rate is filtered every time it refreshes and the list is rewritten each time.

One thing I have seen is that if you change from rate to iftop (or the other way) you may need to switch interfaces in order to see that.

[jrey]

@stephenw10

when on rate it always clears immediately after a refresh, and when on iftop is does not. Doesn't matter what else you flip back and forth. Able to reproduce 100%

rate = refresh, clear list (you only see the IPs momentarily)
iftop = refresh, list not cleared. (likely more correctly stated as clear, refresh)

but the end result is you can see the IP list on iftop and not on rate
at least with 23.09.b.20231023.1701 that is my observation.

[stephenw10]

What exactly do you see then? I see what I'm expecting there:

Most of those are other pfSense instances pinging the LAN.

[jrey]

@stephenw10

with rate set - the list populates momentarily (on every refresh), clears then is blank
so mostly displays like this (can't really tell what was on the list because it goes blank as soon as the list is done, the IPs are listed only as long as it takes to draw the list.)

on the there hand, with iftop (it just refreshes, there is always something shown (it might actually be a clear->refresh, the refresh is too fast to tell) but the result is like this and certainly the list is changing based on the refresh.

@stephenw10

Can eliminate the browser - just tried the same test from another box with different OS / browser and it does exactly the same thing there.

[tedquade]

@jrey I have the same issue as you.

Ted

[stephenw10]

If you start something continuous does it show up on every refresh?

[tedquade]

@stephenw10 Data to the right of the graph shows briefly then disappears.
