just install the package

ok, did that (new to pfsense, still learning where everything is and what it does).

now that i have that view, the only thing i dont like, unless there is a fix for it, is that once i am in this view, that shows the '3D' bars, how do i get back to the pfsens gui?

well, i suppose i am still in the gui, but i dont see my toolbar anymore. do i need to create a shortcut to this page when i want to see the graph?

my typical setup has two monitors one of which i have pfsense open so i can see data/graphs when i have data flowing.

thanks.

EDIT- i assume there is not auto update for vnstat2? not a big deal, but an update feature, other than refresh :), would be nice. this is better than nothing, i shouldnt complain.

my graph isnt displaying the proper bar height.

Jan 2012 656.60 MB 24.69 MB 681.29 MB

but the bytes in (656.60MB) bar is just under the 4M mark.

i assume M= MB

The php frontend your clicking on is not part of the pfsense gui, its not integrated – like I mentioned you could write your own webpage to the info if you wanted to.. So yeah if you want something that auto refreshes you could do that.

vnstat is a console based program, the web stuff is created from the data it collects. You can pretty much do whatever you want for a web interface.. Info on vnstat here

If your interested in realtime display of traffic you might want to look at iftop http://www.ex-parrot.com/pdw/iftop/

thanks. i am not advanced enough to write my own stuff.

can you explain why the graph doesnt represent the data in?

johnpoz · Jan 14, 2012, 4:48 PM

data in ?? You lost me, I am seeing data in and data out. Can you post up a screenshot of what your not seeing.

Jan 14, 2012, 4:55 PM

my data in is 1.xx GB, but the bar on the graph hits the 4M mark.

seems like that is not accurate.

shouldn't it be at 1.xx G or 1xxx M on the graph?

can I see what your talking about - please post a screen shot. What interface are you looking at wan or lan, etc.

i just checked in another browser and the graph looks fine.

seems like chrome, what i am normally using, isnt updating the graph.

i tried refreshing and i tried closing out and going back in…still looks like what i posted above.

here is IE:

did you try clearing your cache?

@johnpoz:

no, but if i have to clear my cache every time i want this to refresh…..seems pointless.

not saying everytime - but maybe something was stuck, I don't use chrome so have not idea but guess I could load up the page with it and see if any issues.

oh here is with chrome

Sure seems to be updating for me - what version of chrome are you using? Im on 16.0.912.75 m
