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

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.

marcelloc

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.

marcelloc

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

ilium007

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

marcelloc

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.

ilium007

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.

marcelloc

Just move old reports to current sarg dir.

ilium007

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:

http://pfsense.harland/sarg_frame.php?prevent=900651242816820700?

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.

ilium007

Glad I am not going mad !!

marcelloc

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

Thanks for the feedback! :)

ilium007

Will do !! Thanks !

I had follow this package and read this thread, I had try sarg and works, but I have seen that cron run 2 jobs in my system.

I setup squid without any log rotate, but I see that my system rotate my logs twice.

Sep 29 23:00:02 gw php: : Sarg: force refresh now with args, compress() and rotate action after sarg finish.
Sep 29 23:00:17 gw php: : executing squid log rotate after sarg.
Sep 30 00:00:01 gw php: : Sarg: force refresh now with args, compress() and rotate action after sarg finish.
Sep 30 00:00:17 gw php: : executing squid log rotate after sarg.

I setup sarg to rotate at 23h, I have this on cron:

0 * * * * root /usr/bin/nice -n20 newsyslog
1,31 0-5 * * * root /usr/bin/nice -n20 adjkerntz -a

Why it run at 00:00?

sarg-2.3.2_2 Squid log analyzer and HTML report generator
squid-2.7.9_1 HTTP Caching Proxy

Any tip will be appreciate, thanks!!!

Hi,

The daily report works great.
But what are the arguments for a weekly and a monthly report.
