      Bonjour,
      I recently switched from iptables to pfsense and have a bit of trouble monitoring network.

      With iptables I was able to get bytes/packets counts from rules and then create custom and very accurate graphs with Zabbix with little efforts.

      With pfsense, rules verdicts must be set to PASS,BLOCK or REJECT so I definitely cannot make use of verdict-less rules like in iptables.

      Is there a non-canon way to create rules that does not have verdicts but can provide bytes/packets count? I have tried with floating rules which allows PASS but it seems to be a nightmare for me to deal with rule processing orders.

      thanks.

        I think, you're looking for floating rules with Match action.
