        Do 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.

          @billm:

          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.

          No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
          Edit : and where are the logs ??

            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.

                    Can this be used if pfsense is set as a transparent bridge?  Since you bind the LAN to the WAN which interface would you monitor?

                    Thanks

                      Presumably LAN still.  Give it a shot, report back, then we'll know and I can add the info to the wiki.  Thanks

                        I should have my alix system arriving next week.  Once I can replace my current pfSense I will convert it into a transparent bridge and test and report.

                            Hmmm, I'll have to see if I can remember my AIM credentials so I can get that fixed.

                              Mines logging AIM, but it's showing me as 'unknown' - as that's not in pfsense code (that I know of), I can only imagine it's something imspector related, I'll add that to my list of followups.

                                I was saying to myself :
                                "Hey, I'm paying for a VMWare Workstation thing,", so I took a FreeBSD DVD ISO from the source (scary, BitTorrent loaded it in 35 minutes  :D) and installed a "everything but Xwindows stuff".

                                I wish I had noted down what packages I had to load afterwards, but libiconv (from GNU) and gmake were needed.

                                In imspector.h, this is included :
                                #include <iconv.h>That one is not ok.
                                I used a
                                find /usr - name iconv.h (found it in /usr/local/include)
                                and included THAT iconv.h file, otherwise many errors in "icqprotocolplugin.cpp" will pop up.

                                I modified my Makefile slightly (only leaving the log plugging MySQL) and I had to correct icqprotocolplugin.cpp on line (appr.) 671 looks like
                                const char *inbuf = string;
                                because iconv() is defined as such.

                                A make would actually build the thing !

                                Having set the PREFIX in the Makefile correctly would even put the files on the right place.
                                A ldconfig was needed to indicate the access to the .so library files, because inspector uses the high tech "late 'dynamic' binding".

                                From doing this to actually building a pfSense package, well Billm, big hands down for you ^^</iconv.h>

                                  Hello

                                  I've installed 0.8 with no problem, but why there is Gadu-Gadu (gg) plugin missing ?
                                  It is very popular in my country (PL), it's almost only one communicator :)
                                  Or how make it working with gg ?

                                    Well, I'll go for the most simple answer :
                                    These five items need to find each other at the same time, at the same place:
                                    In "your Country"….,
                                    A Gadu Gadu user,
                                    With some heavy FreeBSD knowledge,
                                    ... and C langauge experiences,
                                    Capable of understanding the plug-in interface of ImSpector.
                                    Need to have a filter for Gadu Gadu communications.

                                    When these 5 joint up, your plug-in will come out very fast.

                                    Note that item 2 is often in conflict with item 5 ;-)

                                      Thanks for the kind answer :)

                                      There is a reason why I'm asking about this protocol. I've seen on imspector site that gg protocol is also possible to watch/log.

                                      http://www.imspector.org/wordpress/?page_id=91

                                      icq_protocol=on
                                      irc_protocol=on
                                      msn_protocol=on
                                      yahoo_protocol=on
                                      gg_protocol=on
                                      jabber_protocol=on
                                      https_protocol=on

                                      GG plugin is ready to use but not included in pfSense package, I think.
                                      That is my question, expanded :)

                                        I've managed to add GG protocol to config page and as a result to the config file. In /usr/local/pkg/imspector.xml I have added
                                        <option><name>GaduGadu</name>
                                        <value>gg</value></option>

                                        Now gg_protocol=on is added in config if selected on config page. First step made but no result in log. Any help ?

                                          Any news on updating to new cvs? seems that march 17. build has more fixes to the 'msn2009' issues.

                                            Any news on updating to new cvs? seems that march 17. build has more fixes to the 'msn2009' issues.

                                            I got a PM on this the other day, I haven't had time to update our sources and push a new build.  Hopefully later today.
