looking for bytes and packets counts per rule for monitorng purpose
-
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.
