      Hi

      I have ntopng installed on my pfSense box.
      Is there any way I can see how much bandwidth a device uses in a day, ideally via it's IP Address ?

      I'd like to find out how much total bandwidth in & out a specific device is using.

      Is that possible ?

        Have you looked at BandwidthD.  It's interface is a bit antiquated looking but it does EXACTLY what you're asking.

          I did install this, ran it for 24 hours and it displayed nothing.

          I assume I set it up wrong. Any guides on how to configure it ?

          Thanks

            Interesting.

            There really shouldn't be too much to it.  I've run it on old 2.x setups and recently set it up again on 2.4.1

            Here are my settings:

            Enable BandwidthD should be selected

            BandwidthD Interface: LAN
            Subnets for Statistics Collection:  Select ALL interfaces (hold down CTRL and click) except your CARP/SYNC interface
            Extra Subnets for Statistics Collection:  (Enter other subnets as needed) I have one other.
            Promiscuous Mode:  Unchecked
            SensorID:  <make up="" a="" name="" of="" your="" choosing="">Draw Graphs:  Checked
            Meta REfresh: <default>Skip Intervals <default>Graph Cutoff: <default>Output to CDF: Unchecked
            Recover CDF:  Unchecked
            Graph and Log Info:  <informational>PostgreSQL Options (All Blank and Unchecked).</informational></default></default></default></make>
