Dashboard cpu update 10 seconds just hangs

jimp

If it works on a clean install, but not an upgrade, there must be a file still on your box under /usr/local/www/ somewhere that is getting read in (most likely some JS) and conflicting.

You could try to rm -rf /usr/local/www and then do a gitsync, but that's a bit extreme and wouldn't really help solve the problem in the long run.

johnpoz

well I posted the contents of my www folder – anything jump out at you?

Maybe we could get cino to post the content of his.

jimp

Nothing jumped out, but I haven't really paid close attention to what the new files are since the jQuery changes.

i have too many packages and custom stuff to wipe out everything.. I did remove the following folders: widgets, classes, javascript with now luck. Should had mention this before, but cpu_graphs.widget.php stop working the same time system information widget stopped.

I have two boxes in particular…

2.0.1-RELEASE (i386)
built on Mon Dec 12 18:24:17 EST 2011
FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE-p6 No Gitsync

CPU graph works.

2.1-DEVELOPMENT (i386)
built on Tue Sep 13 17:28:43 EDT 2011
FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE-p4 Recent Gitsync

CPU graph doesn't work.

Both with widescreen, pfblocker, siproxd, filemanager packages.

In case it helps...

OK guys hopes this helps I fixed the 2.1 Development Issue CPU Usage and other widgets not updating:

Testing it right now on couple different boxes with:

2.1-DEVELOPMENT (i386)
built on Fri Nov 25 14:30:42 EST 2011

FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE-p6

Remove the .txt extension from the files and put them in the proper directories stated in the install_widget_fix.txt file.

Fixed Javascript errors tested on IE 7, IE 9, Firefox 8.0, Safari, Chrome. Don't worry if it stays at 100% load has to do with how they figure load using clock cycles average. It will go back down once Web Gui fully loaded or might take a bit sometimes. It takes 10 seconds to update screen. They use the same exact php code as LCDproc uses to figure CPU Usage.

ajax.js.txt
cpu_graphs.js.txt
cpu_graphs.widget.php.txt
install_widget_fix.txt

Trying it now and seems to be working… Thanks! :)

joe_cowboy

Glad I can be of some help. ;D

I didn't realize it was the cpu_graphs widget, I thought it was the cpu bar in the system info widget (though I suppose one could have hurt the other)

the cpu_graphs widget was removed a while back due to it being inaccurate on multi-core systems, so it does not exist in 2.1 proper.

johnpoz

Yeah not the graph, its the little bar for me – I posted a screenshot showing it.

It just sits that at updating in 10 seconds -- taunting!!

As already stated the CPU graph in RRD is working, etc. And System Activity under Diag works fine as well showing cpu usage -- just the stupid little bar on the systeminfo widget atleast for me that is what the problem is.

I had grabbed the files he tweaked, but was not ready to test out his few changes - checked diff of his files vs ones on my system, mainly because the one file was in a folder called disabled, and was not ready to pull that out, etc.

The CPU Graph Widget uses the same code as the CPU Usage bar… They both work. The PHP code is the same as the PHP code that is used in LCDproc CPU usage too. Only reason I added the CPU Graph widget code is because I fixed a javascript error in it too. Also, if you notice your your Interface and Gateway widgets will update along with other items in the System Infomation widget every 10 seconds now. So the fix was not just for the CPU Graph widget it was for a few widgets that use the same javascript to update the web gui output.

"Also, if you notice your your Interface and Gateway widgets will update now along with other items in the System Infomation widget every 10 seconds now."

Ok great will give it a go then, so like the response time on gateways and interface stats, and uptime will update every 10 seconds? Notice that uptime only updates when you refresh, same with interface stats. I would assume the changes would be put in, or will the next time I git sync or install a new version will it get overwritten?

joe_cowboy

Well, I am not a coder for the pfSense Project. So if it is still broken in the next git sync or update then yes you will have to apply the fixes again. Unless the coders read this section. I don't know any of the guys coding on this project. Sorry..

"Notice that uptime only updates when you refresh, same with interface stats."

I will look into that and see about adding that update to the 10 second javascript loop if you want me to.

@joe_cowboy thank you for fixing this. I can comfirm its working on my box also. System Info and Cpu Graphs are displaying data now.

@jimp would it be possible to add these fixes to 2.1 in the near future? including the cpu graph? I don't mind if it stays in the deactivated folder and we have to manually move it over to use it.

johnpoz

ok just copied over the files and not looking like its working, I restarted the webconfigurater..

Let me refresh my browser cache,etc.

edit: ok that worked now looks like everything is working. Interface stats do update, and so does current time and so do ping times to gateways.. And uptime is working as well, before I was looking at current time and it wasn't updating unless refresh.

Looks good man - Thanks!!!

joe_cowboy

"Notice that uptime only updates when you refresh, same with interface stats."

Those are updating just have to wait a while to see changes sometimes. But I did make a tweak to the Up time added seconds so you can see it is updating.

put the functions.inc.php file into /usr/local/www/includes/

remove the .txt extension before uploading to the folder.

functions.inc.php.txt

Ok made another tweak to the System Information Widget for you and added Temperature. Right now just checks the first core or core 0. I will go back and add mulit core temp, CPU Graph and CPU Usage out put to the Web Gui.

coretemp.ko driver download:

AMD64 bit download file:
http://files.pfsense.org/jimp/ko-8.1/amd64/coretemp.ko

i386 download file:
http://files.pfsense.org/jimp/ko-8.1/i386/coretemp.ko

I will go ahead and post all files again here along with other files I modded. Oh yes to answere your question with git sync update you will have to reload theses fixes again still broken:

Remember to remove the .txt extension from the file.

ajax.js.txt
cpu_graphs.js.txt
cpu_graphs.widget.php.txt
functions.inc.php.txt
install_widget_fix.txt
system_information.widget.php.txt

joe_cowboy - You should sign up on github, fork the repo, commit those changes, and submit a pull request. Then we can import those changes directly into mainline.

Here is some good forum thread on getting the Tempurature drivers to work for different boards in freebsd:

http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=882

ipmi.ko driver download:

AMD64 bit download file:
http://files.pfsense.org/jimp/ko-8.1/amd64/ipmi.ko

i386 download file:
http://files.pfsense.org/jimp/ko-8.1/i386/ipmi.ko

Another Temp driver if the coretemp.ko driver does not work. Only thing if somebody uses this driver and it uses different ODI then I will need those OID values to add as a check for for those values.

Will need to load the driver just like the other using/creating loader.conf.local in /boot

add this line: ipmi_load="YES"

Also as a check could by typing at the Console System prompt
type this at prompt: kldload ipmi
type this next at prompt: sysctl -a | grep ipmi
If not reboot pfSense box and try those two commands again and see if there are any temp or temperature values and post them here.

Hope this helps. Might need to do some more research on drivers to use and need feedback. Thanks

@joe_cowboy nice work! I totally forgot about the temp on the status information page….I had it for while but ended up using a page i created... comes in handy for my box during the summer time ;-)
