Vnstat2 dead with pFsense 2.3 upgrade :(
-
The "vnStat package" is almost back in it's newer form: https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-ports/commit/a9b4ece25c8f472fba250ed671533305bf884302
a couple more tweaks and it should show up in the Available Packages list

Sweetness! Do you have any screenshots by chance? I was able to get vnstat up and running a while back but im only using the original web interface, not the pages that were created for the pfSense package.

This one is 22 days old, but gives you an idea: https://imgur.com/GqvihFX

prudy!!! I'm assuming its using the vnstat db? If so, I should be able to copy over my existing db to use in the new interface? I have a years worth of data
-
Yes it just uses the
vnstat –jsonoutput. In theory you could, it's worth a shot on a VM. -
Woot! patience is paying off! :)

ok i am on 2.3.2-DEVELOPMENT (amd64)
built on Thu Jun 23 12:33:12how do i access this ?
ok got it
-
for some reason the builder isn't picking it up, still trying to figure that out. but it's the last step to getting it in snapshots.

WARNING
Just installed this new package today - I had vnstat manually running - It wipes out any databases
Make a backup 1st so you can restore backup and get your history back
Otherwise it looks good so far
Is there a html link that can viewed outside of the pfsense ui like the old vnstat2 could?
Thanks for the work

Were you able to get your history back? I store the database files in /var/db/vnstat and your db files from running manually are likely in /var/lib/vnstat/. It might be possible to copy/move them over.

No there is not.

ok, will leave the old vnstat2 page intact since I already have its dependencies installed and working so I can view that html page from outside my lan
as far as the databases they where there in /var/lib/vnstat - I also exportdb and a daily status at 12am as I have had both db and back db in the past get corrupted for some reason.
Thanks

Thanks, MyKroFt.
I created a feedback thread in the snapshots board if anyone else wants to give feedback: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=114753.0

How do I get the package? It doesn't show up under "Available Packages" ???
I'm currently on 2.3.1_5. -
have to be on the developer update branch to see it

Ah, I see. I tried the latest snapshot earlier tonight, but I lost the access to the package manager for some reason, so I went back to 2.3.1_5.
-
ya there was a problem there, it was fixed later in the day yesterday
Developer is all fixed now for package manager etc

Thanks for the quick reply. I think I'll wait for the package to make its debut in a stable build. I'm too much of a novice to be messing around with dev builds :P
-
MyKroFt, would you mind sharing your db sizes and when they were created (how long they have been collecting data)? I'm just curious about how big the files get with time for people running the embedded image.
