      I pushed a fix just now for the graphs.

      sqstat works fine for me. Keep in mind that sqstat only shows ACTIVE DOWNLOADS so unless you watch it like a hawk loading web pages barely will appear, long downloads will show.

        Just installed lightsquid today. Seems to work except for the following:

        • sqstat: page deletes history meaning only active connections at exactly the moment page is refreshed is shown. Should it not present a page connections was shown kind of like a rolling page?
        • graphs: When trying to see graphs a blank page is the result.

        No, sqstat does not present a log, it is only the currently active at the moment connections. You're only likely to see long/large downloads there.

        You may be thinking of the "real time" type view that I think Sarg has.

              Hello Mir,

              How were you able to get the graph to work. It's still not functioning for meĀ  :(

                Reinstall lightsquid, press save on the lightsquid settings, load the report, click the graph icon and make sure to force a refresh (shift+reload)

                  Hello Jimp,

                  Before I Uninstall lightsquid I want to make sure of the steps.

                  make sure to force a refresh (shift+reload)

                  shift is the shift key and reload is ?

                    The reload button on your browser. Or use ctrl-F5.

                          I dont think it is necessary to press save on settings since the settings will be reread automatically when you reinstall the updated package. I did not do this.

                            Tried all fixes, Not working :(

                            LigthSquid diagnostic.
                            Error : report folder '/var/lightsquid/report' not contain any valid data! Please run lightparser.pl (and check 'report' folder content)
                            Please check config file !

                            I am new to Pfsense. Where does config files located?

                            Tried Reinstall. I had Squidguard. Removed it, Reinstalled lightsquid. no progression.

                              Do you actually have log data from squid?
                              Did you actually press "Refresh full" on lightsquid settings and wait?

                              If you followed the directions at https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Lightsquid_Troubleshooting then you may not have an actual lightsquid problem, but a problem elsewhere leading it to not have data. Probably worth starting a fresh thread for.

                                  Not sure about the error at the top, but when I tested it, clients with long, active downloads showed in the list just fine.

                                    i can tell you about error at the top - sqstat.class.php

                                    if ($connection) {
                                    Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  # username field is avaible in Squid 2.6 stable
                                    Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  if(substr($v,0,9)Ā  == "username ")Ā  $parsed["con"][$connection]["username"]Ā  = substr($v, 9);
                                    Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  if(substr($v,0,5)Ā  == "peer:")Ā  Ā  Ā  $parsed["con"][$connection]["peer"]Ā  Ā  Ā  = substr($v, 6);

                                    wtf is this "peer" line here, while squid returns "remote" instead?
                                    this shit right here just CAN'T work on any version above 3.1 or so - you must replace it with

                                    if(substr($v,0,7)Ā  == "remote:")Ā  Ā  $parsed["con"][$connection]["peer"]Ā  Ā   = substr($v, 8);
                                    

                                    see?
                                    but even then sqstat shows total BS - speed keep increasing constantly, etc.
                                    so i really don't know, how is that possible

                                    sqstat works fine for me.

                                    :D
                                    tested on fresh install of 2.2-RELEASE (amd64)Ā  built on Thu Jan 22 14:03:54 CST 2015Ā  FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE-p4

                                      and btw - there is more bugs in that php code

                                      if(substr($v,0,3)=="me:") $parsed["con"][$connection]["me"]=substr($v,4);

                                      probable need to be replaced with something like

                                      if(substr($v,0,6)=="local:") $parsed["con"][$connection]["me"]=substr($v,7);
                                      

                                      tho i saw no difference after that.

                                        I don't doubt there are more bugs, I haven't ever touched the code inside there (or even looked).

                                        I was using squid 2.7.x with it, which may explain why it worked for me.

                                            Uninstalled lightsquid from 2.2
                                            I ran all the trouble shooting steps
                                            Reinstalled lightquid into 2.2
                                            clicked save on the settings page

                                            ran the "./check-setup.pl" from the /usr/local/www/lightsquid path.
