        Try enabling promiscuous mode.

        Config file is in /usr/local/bandwidthd/etc/bandwidthd.conf

            Okay, try launching it by hand and see what it says.

                  its a progress with me :) syntax error in line 47 it says, and the line 47 was "output_cdf on", changed it to "output_cdf true" and it works now. the service is started with otput option turned on.

                    Fixed.  Deinstall and reinstall.

                      ok.

                      but still there is no result on local ip's. it didnt counted any traffic on my local ips 192.168.2.0/0, but succefully counted my wan interface.

                            I had problems with the package until I realized that I had opt interfaces that had not been fully defined.  As soon as I removed them reporting started.

                                Hi Scott

                                Bandwidthd doesn't grap anything on my pfsense box (snapshot-02-02-2007)

                                Bandwitdthd Service seems to be running with no errors in system log

                                any ideas?

                                /Perry

                                  Found our first BandwidthD bug.

                                  http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1652752&group_id=89685&atid=591011

                                  Also, a known bug about listening on multiple interfaces:

                                  http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1636862&group_id=89685&atid=591011

                                  So… The question is, since we can only listen on one currently... Do we want to just monitor LAN?

                                    Originally added them on first install.  But did not enter any ip information at that time and they weren't connected to  the network.  So because they were defined under interfaces and had no ip info bandwidthd added them to the conf file but the lack of ip data kept if from starting logging until I removed them from the web configurator (would also have worked by manually removing from the conf file).

                                        Mine is generating stats for LAN and WAN.  Wasn't that issue when they had 2 but only wanted to listen on 1?  They had 1 subnet defined but 2 interfaces listed in the conf file.  Wouldn't workaround be to only define the interfaces you want to listen on in the .conf file or provide a selection box to generate the list of interfaces?

                                        The DAILY subnet stats pages are not being generated.  The weekly and monthly subnet stats works for both subnets.

                                          Hello I have jsut set this up in a test enviroment with vmware, i notice that the bandwidthd page isnt being fully created

                                          as you can see from the output bellow it ends 3/4 of the way through the last line and the page stops there, thus meaning that none of the graphs are drawn because they apear under that last line.

                                          Is anyone else having this issue ?

                                            Seems to be the issue that i have.

                                            In the generated .conf i get
                                            subnet 192.168.0.0/24
                                            dev "rl0" (Lan)
                                            dev "sis0" (wan from isp dhcp)

                                            When started it tried to grap from sis0 using 192.168.0.0/24
                                            So i have to stop service and delete the sis0 line in .conf
                                            When service is started again, stats are generated in daily and weekly tap

                                            So a selection box might be the solution for me.
