Options in the Dashboard {wake on lan and Traffic Graph}

firefox

Are the questions belong to this forum ?

I have two questions
On the options in the Dashboard wake on lan and Traffic Graph

the First When I add the board \ a table of "wake on lan"
the board Is added
But it says

No saved WoL addresses

Although computers have registered to this option
And all with a static IP address

May be I missed something
Is there anything else you need to do before adding this panel to the Dashboard

Second question
in the "Traffic Graph" board
I was extending window of lan
and wlan
Or which interface that is there
I change the default refresh time it's 10 to 1
Click on Save

And it's not saved
Next time I come to Dashboard
Everything is closed and refresh rate back to 10

How can you save it permanent ?

The WoL panel on the dashboard only lists hosts which are configured under "Services: Wake on LAN". I assume that you just you just listed the hosts for the DCHP server, which is something totally different. Btw, you don't need static IP addresses for WoL - that's why two different lists are kept for DHCP and WoL.

Concerning the update interval of the traffic graph panels: you are right, you can change the interval, but it is "saved" only inside the browser. Hitting the "Save" button sends nothing to pfSense, so nothing can be saved for longer than the page is currently displayed. Yup, it would be nice if the button was labelled "Apply" instead of "Save", but that's a minor issue, IMHO.

You should be able to choose which interfaces have traffic graphs shown and which are minimised though. I have that option saved so that only WAN interfaces are graphed when I first go to the dashboard.

Hmm, looking at my home box I also have it set to 5sec update by default. You should be able to save those settings.
I'm running 2.0.2-release Nano on that box.

Note there are two save settings buttons, one on the traffic graphs widget and one on the dashboard at the top.

Edit: I can't seem to change them now though and I made those changes on a previous version. :-\

I know

Here's a screenshot of the WoL

Several ways to save it
But it goes back to default

I suppose you download the configuration (Diagnostocs: backup/restore), edit the XML file (look for refreshInterval=10) and upload the changed config.

One problem resolved itself
the WOL Appears properly
I have no idea how

It only changes the refresh rate
I would also like to expand the windows of each interface and the interface

How to open this file
I tried with open office
But there appears lot of Gibberish

You have to open the config file with a simple text editor. Notepad++ (http://notepad-plus-plus.org/) is a free and capable text editor for Windows. Do not attempt to edit the XML config file with a word processor (like MS Office or OpenOffice.org); these will probably try to be "smart" and add formatting, which will break the file.

In my vonfig, the full line defining the dashboard panels is:

		<traffic_graphs-config>WAN_graph-config:show,LAN_graph-config:hide,refreshInterval=10</traffic_graphs-config>

It should be obvious how to hide or show by interface. Note that the names of the interfaces (in my case: WAN & LAN) may be different for you. There may be more than two as well, if you have configured more NICs or VLANs.

Keep a backup of the original file, so you can revert to the original version if something goes wrong.

Well

I did that to secondary system that installed on a virtual machine
