      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.

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

                        Log shows this:

                          I did:
                          mkdir /usr/local/bandwidthd
                          mkdir /usr/local/bandwidthd/etc
                          touch /usr/local/bandwidthd/etc/bandwidthd.conf

                          Now it installs.

                              That should not be needed.  The FreeBSD package has all of this in it..
