      Sarg pkg v 0.6 is out with gzip compress report options to reduce 4 times reports disk usage.

      Awesome.

      Thanks marcelloc!

        version 0.6.1 is out with

        • pfsense 2.1 support

        • max report age option

        backup you data and test it on labs before using report max age option on production. I'm not responsible for data lost.

          I recently updated to Sarg 2.3.2 pkg v.0.6.1.  Since then my reports have stopped refreshing.  When  attempt to force an update now, the system log reports the following error:

          php: /pkg_edit.php: The command '/usr/local/bin/sarg -d date +%d/%m/%Y-date +%d/%m/%Y' returned exit code '1', the output was 'SARG: (util) Cannot open file /etc/sarg/exclude_codes (exclude_codes)'

            Reinstall the package, save sarg config on gui and try again.

              unfortunately that didn't correct the issue.  tried 2X.  however, I did go into my schedule and for this task:

              Rotate Logs and Restart Daemon
              -d date +%d/%m/%Y-date +%d/%m/%Y

              I checked the 'Enable Compression'
              Setting: Default gzip compression (recommended)

              Then SAVED and FORCEd UPDATE NOW.  It then appeared to refresh my VIEW REPORT data.  Though it left a gap between 9/18 and 9/20 (no entry listed for 9/19).  I will monitor to see whether 9/21 data appears automatically tomorrow without any manual intervention.

                using sarg -x  exclude_codes path is  "/usr/local/etc/sarg/exclude_codes" instead of  "/etc/sarg/exclude_codes".

                That's what resintall package/save config do.

                The gzip option reduces 4 times reports disk usage.

                  OK.  I am a bit confused.  So when I uninstalled and reinstalled the Sarg package to update to the latest version, it moved the exclude_codes path

                  FROM: "/usr/local/etc/sarg/exclude_codes"
                  TO: "/etc/sarg/exclude_codes"

                  Do I need to add the argument 'sarg -x' somewhere?  Also my EXCLUDE CODES dialog box on the Sarg GENERAL tab is empty.

                  Thanks again.

                    No need to change config files or dirs. Just check the sarg -x output.

                    On my tests, after reinstall/save config file is correct and sarg ir running fine.

                      Thank you.  Sarg -x from a shell command prompt complete successfully (no errors) similar to result you posted from your log.  If my Sarg doesn't update on it's own on 9/21 (without a forced update), I'll advise.

                        @namek:

                        Hello, Is it possible to change the unit from bytes to something higher? like KB or MB?

                        Sure. :)

                        Just select Show values in reports using abbreviation on sarg general tab.

                          I can;t seem to see any option to restrict access to SARG reports. I can't have direct user access to these ports. I know this was supposed to be fixed in 0.6 but I am running the latest and direct access still works. How can we disable / password protect this ? Cheers.

                            sarg create reports on /usr/local/sarg-reports, check if you still have both dirs.

                              Hi - the reports all work, that's not the issue. My problem is that you can access them with a direct URL with no authentication. Is there anyway to resolve this ? Cheers

                                Reports on /usar/local/www/sarg-reports are visible to everyone.

                                Since version 0.5 reports are saved on /usr/local/sarg-reports out of www http server.

                                Check what dirs you have and where new reports are being saved.

                                Also, enabling report compress, it will not be visible without php script that reads it.

                                  Cool - I will check tonight but even if I have both, how do I prevent reports being made into the publicly accessible directory. I don't want anyone able to access those reports.

                                    Just move old reports to current sarg dir.

                                      Still having issues here !

                                      The sarg-reports folder is in /usr/local (as shown below) but I log out of the pfsense console and then go to the URL:

                                      and can still see the reports with no authentication. What am doing wrong !!

                                        and can still see the reports with no authentication. What am doing wrong !!

                                        Now I got what you were accessing.

                                        I'm checking sarg_frame.php code.

                                            Reinstall the package in 15 minutes and check if it's ok now.

                                            Thanks for the feedback!  :)
