      Hi!

      I just try to find a way how i can find out how many Broadband i used the last month/year on my pfsense. Is there any monitor for the last year onboard or does someone know a good package?

        System -> Package Manager -> Available Packages

        Install Status_Traffic_Totals

        Then look at Status -> Traffic Totals

          Like NogBadTheBad mentioned, the Status_Traffic_Totals package will do it… however, it will only track from this point forward. There's no way to obtain any past data.  I believe it keeps track of daily, monthly, and yearly data usage. Also of note, the data updates every 5 minutes, so if you complete a quick download and wonder why the number didn't change, that's why.

            Doesn't it look at the interface stats to get its data?

              I'm not sure what vnstat uses to determine the data transferred, but the vnstat process that collects that data is set to run every 5 minutes with a cron job, IIRC.

                Did anyone know how to measure the used bandwidth. I want to know what is the max min and average used Bandwidth of my WAN.
