Arpwatch not downloading vendor ID's

@dennypage if it's too much work to support 2.7.2 CE just tell me, yes? Maybe it's easier to wait for 2.8.0 CE? Can only be a few months away.

Did you refresh the pages after the install? There is no way to access Status from the Services / ANDwatch page-

I did log out and in again, yes. The icon to access the status is in the service page, next to the "?":

check your config please. Look for the following

That section appears exactly like that in /usr/local/pkg/andwatch.xml. I assume Netgate made changes to the GUI framework in the newer versions.

If you log into your pfSense box, and run the command "host 10.99.200.104". This should respond with "Host 104.200.99.10.in-addr.arpa not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)"

You are right - although I was talking about 10.99.200.1 - pfSense itself on the TEST interface is not getting resolved. That way ANDwatch can't know the name, of course.

It should look identical to the Search panel on the DHCP Status page

I see, again probably changes to the GUI framework. I'll compare it with other package configs and see if I can see a difference.

What browser are you using?

Firefox 128.7.0esr on Debian 12

grep -i btn /usr/local/.../status_dhcp_leases.php

Below is output of the call:

[2.7.2-RELEASE][root@pfsense.home.arpa]/root: grep -i btn /usr/local/www/status_dhcp_leases.php
                                <a id="btnsearch" title="<?=gettext("Search")?>" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm"><i class="fa fa-search icon-embed-btn"></i><?=gettext("Search")?></a>
                                <a id="btnclear" title="<?=gettext("Clear")?>" class="btn btn-info btn-sm"><i class="fa fa-undo icon-embed-btn"></i><?=gettext("Clear")?></a>
        <a class="btn btn-info" href="status_dhcp_leases.php?all=0"><i class="fa fa-minus-circle icon-embed-btn"></i><?=gettext("Show Active and Static Leases Only")?></a>
        <a class="btn btn-info" href="status_dhcp_leases.php?all=1"><i class="fa fa-plus-circle icon-embed-btn"></i><?=gettext("Show All Configured Leases")?></a>
        <a class="btn btn-danger no-confirm" id="cleardhcp"><i class="fa fa-trash icon-embed-btn"></i><?=gettext("Clear All DHCP Leases")?></a>
        $("#btnsearch").prop('type', 'button');
        $("#btnclear").prop('type', 'button');
        $("#btnsearch").click(function() {
        $("#btnclear").click(function() {
                        $("#btnsearch").get(0).click();

Thanks you for taking the time!

Can you check in your actual running config please? Like download it via Backup and see if both sections are in there?

Ah, my bad. I forgot about the shortcuts.

Yep, that's got it. They changed from "fa" to "fa-solid" a couple of releases ago. Not sure why.

Anyway, if you edit andwatch_status.php and change occurrences of "fa-solid" to just "fa" it should look like it's supposed to.

That section is not in the backup file, I'll investigate. Installed HAproxy and compared the config, looks really the same confused

@patient0 You might try a re-install of the package.

@dennypage I dove into pkg create and tried a few things. In the end it was simple as often:

On 2.7.2 CE in andwatch.xml the menu item name for "Status" can't be the same as for "Services". Renaming the <name> tag value of the menu item for Status from "ANDwatch" to "ANDwatch Status" resolved it. It still works works on 25.03-BETA :)

Btw: the value of the <name> tag right after the </copyright> tag seems to be lower case for the other packages I checked (HAproy, Shellcmd, Avahi, LCDproc). Made no functional difference though.

Excellent catch. I'll change that. Thanks.

I think that one is okay. There are a few on my system that aren't all lower case:

System Patches
RRD Summary
Netgate Firmware Upgrade

@patient0 Here is an updated package. You should remove the prior package before installing the new version.

Note that it still has the "fa-solid", so you'll need to make that change again, except the file name to edit is now status_andwatch.php rather than andwatch_status.php in order to match naming convention.

@dennypage Thanks a lot, you are awesome :)

For the fa-solid to fa conversion I have created a patch and applied via System patches.

It's attached for reference if someone else would need it:

andwatch-2.0_pfSense-CE-272-status-CSS-fix.diff

In System / Patches, set "Path Strip Count" set to 0, leave the other settings as they are.

Group,

Here is an updated version of the base level andwatch package. This version fixes a serious issue which may trigger a kernel panic in the version of FreeBSD currently being used in pfSense. If you have v2.0.0 installed, please install v2.1.0.

andwatch-2.1.0.pkg.zip

Below is an update to the pfSense level package. This addresses the issues with the shortcuts at the top of the pages. Also, the button at the bottom of the status page has been renamed from "Display All Records" to "Display Historical Records" which hopefully clarifies its meaning a little.

I think this is ready for submission, so if anyone has any additional feedback I'd love to hear. Thanks!

Thanks for all your hard work on this @dennypage - looking forward to trying out this new package once it has been made available / merged in.

@tman222 Welcome. If you want to give it a go, it’s available for download above. If you wait for merge, you’ll probably be waiting a long time. New ports take a while. mDNS-Bridge (replacement for Avahi routing) has been hanging out for over three months.
