Squid and NTOP stop working after some hours
-
hello,
I am using the update version 1.0.1 of pfsense, i have installed squid and ntop.
both work well for some hours and then stop workind randomly without any modification in the system

How much RAM do you have?
-
256Mb

This might be not enough for running ntop and squid. A large swap partition might help but the system will become slow when starting to swap. Monitor your memory and swap usage. I guess it's just running out of memory and is killing the processes due to that.

what is the optimal hardware configuration ?
I am already running a P4 2.6 GHz with 256MB DD-RAM
swap is 256 or 512 Mb i have not changed the default value during initial installationactual information in system shows :
CPU usage : 3 %
Memory Usage : 63 % (I have noticed that when squid was not installed i have 38 %)
Swap usage : 3 %
Disk Usage : 1 % -
Monitor the values at status>system and stresstest your system (like running bittorrents and multiple http downloads).
