      Yesterday we saw our normal half-megabit incoming traffic spike to 50 Mbits or so and stay there for better than 12 hours.  The firewall handled the load just fine, but since I pay based on the 95th percentile this could get expensive in a hurry if it happens again and I don't notice it.

      Is there a way to have pfSense trigger an alert if we run into this situation again?  Maybe a "if load doubles in size versus the previous 24 hours send an e-mail" kind of feature?
