Hi marcelloc,

Great package. But how to manually delete the sarg reports?
My pfsense got problem with full hard disk error and the largest directory is from the sarg reports.
I forgot to use the rotate logs before.

And what does Cache-in and Cache-out mean?

Thanks in advance.

Just delete reports on /usr/local/www/sarg-reports using rm on console/ssh.

You have permission problems on your install, clean up(not remove) /usr/local/www/sarg-reports and try to run again.

Hi Marcelloc

What do you mean by clean ? rm -rf ?

marcelloc

@miodzicho:

What do you mean by clean ? rm -rf ?

could be a rm -rf /usr/local/www/sarg-reports/*

Please be carefull with rm.

Of course I'm :)

Check options you selected on sarg gui and try again.

Hi there,

I think I found two minor bugs with the sarg configuration:

When configuring exclude strings, the resulting configuration entry looks like this:

exclude_string"testasd' # note the missing space and the wrong quote character at the end

Also, when setting exclude_codes, these are written to the correct configuration file (exclude_codes.conf), but in sarg.conf "exclude_code" (without the .conf", probably the default) is referenced.

Another side note / question:

I'm combining squid and squidGuard. This works quite good so far. My squidGuard config defines several ACLs. After generating some sample reports I noticed that blocked URLs are not marked as blocked in the Squid log file. At least not in the same way when "Plain Squid" would be blocking them. This throws Sarg off, and blocked URLs are included in the list of visited websites without a special marker that these were blocked / redirected.

Is there any way around that? I tried to remove these entries with exclude_strings or exclude_codes (to remove all 403 redirects) - which did not work because of the mentioned bugs. But aside from these options, is there any other way?

Thanks for the good work on the package btw!

Manuel

der.tale,

Thanks for your feedback. I've pushed version 0.4.2_1 with these fixes.

check if you can use exclude codes and exclude_string now.

I have tried to enable and disable options in GUI, tried as well schedule forced.
Unfortunately still no go.Error is the same.

marcelloc

miodzicho,

Try sarg with the same options I use.
