Thanks in advance

Downloading package configuration file… done.
Saving updated package information... done.
Downloading imspector and its dependencies... done.
Checking for successful package installation... failed!Installation aborted.
Reinstall (or install after failed reinstall) seems to b0rked. I am using 1.2.3-PRERELEASE-TESTING-VERSION
built on Wed Feb 11 12:27:02 EST 2009Anyhow, thanks for the hard work billm! Its good to see active maintainer on a package as popular as imspector
crap, teach me to not test the actual install after updating it. sigh Looks like the package installer looks in a slightly different directory than I thought - we didn't have the mysql package online. Hoping to get it built and pushed before I head to work in a few minutes.

Erm…in the meantime, I'm going to disable the mysql and sqlite installs again.

0.8-5 is getting pushed now, it should fix mysql. It takes a few minutes to sync with the package repo - I'll test it quick and roll back if it doesn't install.
Update1: mysql installs now, made a typo in the sqlite install…syncing now.
Update2: sqlite3 install works now, package looks to be fixed.--Bill

Great work bill, I will test the package and verify if the msn issue has been fixed.

Bill, just a suggestion for the future (no priority) I would suggest adding a log rotation/cleaup function.
Delete logs older than 14 days for example. I tried finding a cronjob tutorial for pfsense ( normaly I do this with webmin on my debian machines…:P) but I couldn't find any.
Could you tell us how to schedule some kind of weekly cronjob to delete all log files in the impsector dir?

Good point, I'll see what I can do about that. In the meantime insert this into /conf/config.xml before the and reboot (or back up, edit, and restore the config file):
<minute>0</minute>
<hour>0</hour>
<mday></mday>
<month></month>
<wday>*</wday>
<who>root</who>
<command></command>find /var/imspector -ctime +14 -type f -deleteNote, I didn't test the above, it should work, I don't believe there are any special characters that the XML will barf on in there.

Awesome thanks for the new feature, I will test it sometime this weekend ( I dont' really have the option to reboot the firewall during the weekdays :P)
Do I need to update/reinstall the imspector package to make this feature work? Or is this feature independent vs the imspector package and it doesn't display the feature in the webgui under imspector?
Last but not least, the files are directories (example MSN\msnprofile\files) Does it do a rm -r ?

The cron settings are built into pfSense, not part of the IMSpector package. What I'll be doing is adding the above XML (slightly differently) to the package install.

find will recurse.

Update the IMSpector binary to the latest snapshot to fix MSN (the commit log says the code was untested, so who knows)
Bill just to confirm the fix you added for the MSN log bug seems to be solved!!
The latest msn version is now being logged properly again by Imspector. Thanks allot for the help!!
I'm hoping to see the log clean up functionality in the package aswel instead of editing files with ssh :)

hello bilim
You did a great work! I have installed ver. 8.5 and it is logging (tested with irc an msn).
I have tried the mysql function, entered die required parameters but it doesn't connect i think,
however, its not that important as the other protocols.What about the other protocols such as gtalk? When are you going to tackle that?
And for other people who own a paypal account, dont hesitate to make a donations for bilim.

Soon, been tied up on some contract work. Worst case, this might wait until the hackathon.

Davao CityDo you even bother to read the threads you post in? Two messages above you, the question was asked (by the only person financially interested in this package) and replied to in the message immediately prior to your post. No. It'll be in, when it's in.

I've got a mysql server up local here, I'll test out the mysql here and see what's up, it should work at this point.
Me to, having a mysql 5.2.x running around for logging for other equipment on the lan.
But imsepctor 'should' tell that the mysql 'could' be used as a logging plugin, if it's included in the build.
I tried the -d parameter, but nothing …
Looking at the source of the Mysql plugin code, it should some log lines, as these :…
Feb 21 11:26:59 imspector: Logging Plugin name: File IMSpector logging plugin
Feb 21 11:26:59 imspector: Filter Plugin name: Misc IMSpector filter plugin
Feb 21 11:26:59 imspector: Protocol Plugin name: Yahoo IMSpector protocol plugin
Feb 21 11:26:59 imspector: Protocol Plugin name: MSN IMSpector protocol plugin
Feb 21 11:26:59 imspector: Protocol Plugin name: IRC IMSpector protocol plugin
Feb 21 11:26:59 imspector: Protocol Plugin name: ICQ-AIM IMSpector protocol plugin
Feb 21 11:26:59 imspector: Protocol Plugin name: MSN IMSpector protocol plugin
...But there's nothing from the MySQL log plugin.
I think it's not present in the build right now.Said that, I'll keep in mind that pfsense is a firewall - it's already marvellous it works as it does right now.

I tried the -d parameter, but nothing …It was in the build. I see what happened, I didn't update the packing list in the FreeBSD port when I added the mysql plugin to the build. I'll push out a new update later today that should (really!) fix mysql logging.

Some bad news, I thought the msn issue was fixed with groupchat logs (unable to log with the correct contactname) but it seems this issue is still happening.
It's not as bad, but it's still there, also it sometimes "fails" to log certain messages. I know this has nothing to do with pfsense though, the makers of imspector will have to fix this.
Keep up the good work Billm!

Blech, that sucks to hear AudiAddict. Let me know if they fix the issue - I only updated the one protocol file in the package, so it'll be pretty easy to import any future fixes from them
I haven't gotten to the MySQL fixes, been way to busy with work stuff. Hopefully by this weekend, or during the weekend I'll update that and bump the package version.

Bill,
Thanks for your continued work on this project. I hope everyone in this thread has contributed to the bounty to help pay you for your time and work.
