Bandwidthd
-
I haven't managed to get bandwidthd to record any data as yet.
Skip intervals
Graph cutoff 150
Graph cutoff is how many k must be transfered by an ip before we bother to graph it
promiscuous on
Put interface in promiscuous mode to score to traffic that may not be routing through the host machine.
output_cdf on
Log data to cdf file htdocs/log.cdf
recover_cdf on
Read back the cdf file on startup
filter
Libpcap format filter string used to control what bandwidthd see's. Please always include "ip" in the string to avoid strange problems.
Draw Graphs on
This default to true to graph the traffic bandwidthd is recording. Usually set this to false if you only want cdf output or you are using the database output option. Bandwidthd will use very little ram and cpu if this is set to false.
Meta Refresh 150
Set META REFRESH seconds (default 150, use 0 to disable).I have no idear what settings are needed but I have tryed a few and it doesn't record anything. What could I be doing wrong.
Thanks

your could start with the default settings
then go to " status -> service " to check that the service is running
look in " status -> system logs " for errors
your also might need to edit /usr/local/bandwidthd/etc/bandwidthd.conf
to do that go to " diagnostics -> edit file "
save and restart service

Tryied that and it still doesn't work :(

Can i use this package wit next configuration?
- bridge(1 wan + 1 lan)
- squid
-
is xl0 your lan
-
no I have an internal interface as rl0 which I have changed in the log since I posted it
-
Hmmm no when I goto see the charts I get a blank screen.

if your .conf looks like this
Subnets to collect statistics on. Traffic that
matches none of these subnets will be ignored.
Syntax is either IP Subnet Mask or CIDR
subnet 10.255.0.0/24
Device to listen on
Bandwidthd listens on the first device it detects
by default. Run "bandwidthd -l" for a list of
devices.
dev "rl0"
dev "xl0"try deleting the xl0 line
save and restart service -

intervals to skip before doing a graphing run

This is strange because sometimes when you click access bandwidthd it doesn't load up anything. Then other time it will load but just say no details have been collected.

I have been testing bandwidthd and come to the following, for whatever it is worth.
If I install Pfsense with xl0=wan and xl1=lan, bandwidthd will listen to wan.
If I install Pfsense with xl0=lan and xl1=wan, bandwidthd will listen to wan. (Can be seen in system logs.)
No logging of in either case.However, if I go to interfaces assign and swap interfaces there, it works like a dream. But if I change any settings and save, bandwidthd goes back to listen to wan and stops logging.
I tried to set the interface in the configfile with no luck. I did notice a notice stating that it will chose the first interface it seas, and that this is set in the startup script an will override the configfile.
-
Same behavior over here.
I run pfSense with 3 NICs (Realtek…) with rl0 being LAN and rl1 assigned to WAN. rl2 is currently unassigned.
A checkbox on the config page to tell bandwithd the port to listen on would be really helpful.

See the original thread. There are many bugs in bandwidthd.

As i posted yesterday IN the original thread before it was deleted, I cannot get the latest package to install.
It just hangs on this step:
"Executing custom_php_install_command()…"
As i said, im not sure if its just me, but i could install the old package fine and i just thought id let you know.
Cheers,

Upgrade to the latest snapshot. I cannot reproduce this issue here.

I have the same problem. It hangs on custom_php_install_command()
Heres the logs:

Fixed a few installation issues as well. Please try again

Im still getting the "No Data to Graph Error" i was getting prior to the update. (though the updated version does install now again).

I did:

mkdir /usr/local/bandwidthd/etc
touch /usr/local/bandwidthd/etc/bandwidthd.confNow it installs.
