Sarg package for pfsense

stramato

@stramato:

Should I do anything special config to make it work?

yes, check all sarg config options, reports to generate and create a schedule to run.

Default sarg options has (yes) after it's description. Select all to create a default config.

Thank you. I had to simply select (ctrl+click to highlight) the config options then click save. I got confused because I thought they're already enabled since they already have a (yes) on them.

I have Sarg running on multiple pfsense boxes. One of my boxes has about 100 users behind it and the report will only work for about the first 4 hours after I wipe out the squid logs. After that I am guessing the squid log gets too big and the sarg report will no longer work.

I am using the -d arguments and I have tried limiting the number of users.

Any suggestions on how I can get sarg to accept a larger log file?

I have large files working fine.

try to run sarg on console to check what it returns.

Seems to be working fine now. I just need to figure out my schedule because, like others my report is pretty empty at 00:00. I need to figure out Cron now.

I have highlighted what I am questioning. Is this rotating my squid logs even after I have set them not to rotate?

Check on squid config because it's not created by sarg.

This is my squid config. Rotation should be disabled.

I think it is working now. Thanks for all your help Marcelloc

Marcelloc, I am not sure if this is a bug or if I am doing something / missing something.

I would like to provide access to the Sarg reports to a few users. When I give them permissions via the user manager to the Sarg reports, it does not work fully.
The real time logs work, but when you try and view reports it just flickers non stop. Looks like it is trying to load the sarg reports frame inside the sarg reports frame.

Attached is the permissions I am giving the user. Is there an easier way or is this a bug?

Reinstall sarg package, I've fixed it last week.

awesome! Thanks!!

edit: works like a charm!

Using nano 2.0.1 and SARG 2.3.2 pkg v.0.6.1.
No matter what I do, tried everithing I found in this forum.
I always get
Error: Could not find report index file.
Check and save sarg settings and try to force sarg schedul

Running sarg -x results in

If something is written in these forums, I tried it. :(
Realtime works correctly but what I need i history data.
Any other test/debug I can try?

marcelloc

what config and report options did you selected?

this is my current config

I had the same problem as LoZio. To get mine to work I did the following -

de-selected all of the options on the general tab and saved it
forced an update on the schedule tab
re-selected the options on the general tab and saved it
forced an update on the schedule tab

This caused the index.html file to be generated in my /usr/local/sarg-reports folder. Up until this point everything else was working except for the index.html file.

Hi all,

I've just published sarg package for pfsense with squid,squidguard and dansguardian log Analysis as well real time report tab.

Squidguard functions are under devel yet but squid and dansguardians(as well as I tested) are working.

After almost everything done, I found an old sarg package published on forum by joaohf and merged some function calls from this old thread.

Another good point is that sarg is able to forward logs via email, so I'm planning to include it for nanobsd installs.

have fun and feedback! :)

Thanks a lot!

Hi,

I would like to use sarg package to get a better overview of the blocked sites from squidguard.
I do not have logging enabled on squid - just on squidguard to watch the blocked sites.

In my company it is not allowed to log accessed sites. The log view of squidguard is not the best I think and so I would like to use squidguard.

On the sarg "general" tab I selected "squidguard" and so options on the multiple-choise lists. When saving the settings I got an error on the top right corner that the squid/access.log was not found.

I took a look at the sarg.inc and I think the problem could be somewhere on line 230. But I am not sure. I added a "break;" but without luck.

So my questions are:
Is it possible to use sarg to just "analyse" the blocked.log file of squidguard but no other log files ?

Any help would be appreciated :-)

Hi Nachtfalke,

I've enabled squidguard config options on gui, but I do not use squidguard. take a look on sarg config options and check manually how it should be configured to work with squidguard. I'll push a fix if you find a way to get it working only with squidguard reports.

The missing break was intentional as it requires squid to work.

I changed the following code on sarg.inc starting on line 227:
From:


		case 'squidguard':
			$squidguard_conf='squidguard_conf '.$sarg_proxy['squidguard_config'];
			$redirector_log_format='redirector_log_format #year#-#mon#-#day# #hour# #tmp#/#list#/#tmp#/#tmp#/#url#/#tmp# #ip#/#tmp# #user# #end#';
			#Leve this case without break to include squid log file on squidguard option

To:


		case 'squidguard':
			$access_log= $sarg_proxy['squidguard_block_log'];
			$squidguard_conf='squidguard_conf '.$sarg_proxy['squidguard_config'];
			$redirector_log_format='redirector_log_format #year#-#mon#-#day# #hour# #tmp#/#list#/#tmp#/#tmp#/#url#/#tmp# #ip#/#tmp# #user# #end#';
			#Leve this case without break to include squid log file on squidguard option
		break;

Now I got this error on system log:

Not sure what that means ?

PS: Why is xmlrpc sync starting but I did not enable that !?

Maybe a too long line

@Nachtfalke:

Maybe a print message before the if :)

move

from line 441 to 445 after

LinuxTracker

2.0.1 Release x86 w/ latest Sarg (which is working pretty well)

Was a solution found for the LDAP issue? I've read the thread a few times and didn't see anything definitive.

I've tried every GUI config possible, forcing updates over and over, tweaking the conf file, reinstalled Sarg, restarted pfSense. etc.

I ran the packet sniffer on the LAN adapter for hours and ran another one on the AD LDAP server.
No port 389 traffic from the pfSense box at all.
From what I see, LDAP is dead.

I'll keep trying but I'm not sure where to look next.

Tried again with a blank block.log file from squidguard with a short entry.
SARG does not generate me any reports on that file.

The access.log from squid is working fine - but as I said I do not want that - or better I am not allowed to do that ;-)

So my conclusion is:
The sarg.inc file needs modification to find the block.log file from squidguard. In the sarg.inc the squidguard_block_log variable is created but it will not be used in further code.

BUT it seems that SARG does not know how to interpret the squidguard log files - even if it has some additional options for that. Google couldn't help me until now. Will do further searches.
