Good job. I'm like this ;D

A stupid question, but do I need some kind of monitoring agent to run in order to get this package to work and collect data?

Or is installing the package come with the front end + collecting data agent? Is this package considered stable for production envoirments?

Or is installing the package come with the front end + collecting data agent

Correct

Is this package considered stable for production envoirments?

I would say yes, I have been using vnstat with php frontend for some time, But as pfSense user do have a huge variety of setup's it's hard to mark it stable right away.

Hey Perry,

I've installed vnstat on three pfsense machines, all of them seem to collect data fine, but the graphs graphics do not work.

It does show all the data, day, hour in tables etc, but it's not displaying the graphs on any of the three firewalls.

I've tested with firefox and internet explorer on three different workstations. Pfsense version 1.2.1-RC4 and 1.2.2 and 1.2.0

I do not have the php frontend package installed like you do btw, just the vnstat package.

Any idea's what's wrong? The graphs seem to stay gray..and IE shows loading for ages..as if it's not able to build the graph. This happends on all three of the firewalls.

If needed I can show you some pictures or give you live access to the vnstat page :)

Prolly the old version of the php frontend you are using, 1.4.1 is the one with svg support.
Wouldn't the package have been easier to use :P ;D

I don't understand your reply Perry.

I just installed the vnstat package from the pfsense package list
Php frontend is included in the vnstat package I assume?
If the php frontend is not installed, what do I need to do to get this working?

Perry

Hmm… You got a PM

Is there anyway to have a return to dashboard link or something of that nature to return one to the pfsense gui?

thanks,
Jim

Perry

I just open it in a new tab window.
Adding a go back link would mean adding something to the php-frontend and I am not sure i want to.
