      Hello everyone,

      The scripts works like a charm directly in my pfsense box but when i try with my zabbix server i have this error message :

      PHP ERROR: Type: 1, File: /etc/inc/captiveportal.inc, Line: 1454, Message: Class 'SQLite3' not found

      the script is excecuted with root previlige.

      If someone hear my help :-)

      Thanks.

      Best Regards.
      Myke.

        This errors shows up when the date base with logged in users doesn't exists.
        This could be normal when the captive portal isn't running.
        Maybe the script should check if a given portal instance is actually enabled ( <enabled>) before trying to open the database.
        If it runs (= enabled) , the data base is created. The error comes from the portal code that handles the database.

        What is a zabbix box ????
        The script was written for pfsense - it didn't work me when I put it in my Nespresso machine neither.

        edit : I will update the script to include the check.</enabled>

        No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
        Edit : and where are the logs ??

          My captive portal is running and I don't have any issue when I execute the script directly in my pfsense box.

          That a shame that your Nespresso can launch a script and I hope you don't buy your nespresso's machine for doing that  ;D

          I use zabbix agent on pfsense and  zabbix server give a parameter to launch the script like this :
          https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=111257.0

          And for test the connection with my zabbix, I write this command :

          zabbix_get -s "Wan" -p 10050 -k CP_users
          

          And return this error message :

          PHP ERROR: Type: 1, File: /etc/inc/captiveportal.inc, Line: 1454, Message: Class 'SQLite3' not found
          

          Thanks for your time Mr Gertjan

          Best Regards.

            Ah, ok, didn't know what "zabbix" was. I figured it out https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zabbix

            Btw :
            SSH into your box.
            'cd' to the pace where you put your script ( mine is called captiveportal_count_online_users.php )
            Then:

             php -q captiveportal_count_online_users.php
            

            Does it return a number like 0 or more, or the same error.

            While you are in there, check if the database really doesn't exist.
            It should be here :

            /var/db/captiveportal[zone-name].db

            where [zone-name] is the name of your captive portal zone.
            Other .db might exist.

            I have a file database file called : captiveportalcpzone1.db
            because my portal is running
            and
            the name is "cpzone1".

              Code: [Select]
              php -q captiveportal_count_online_users.php
              Does it return a number like 0 or more, or the same error.

              php -q cptotaluser
              

              It gives me the right number of the connection of my captive portal.

              And in the /var/db, my DB exists and it's call captiveportal2017.db

              Update :
              it's really weird cause i just test the script in 2 pfsense in 2.3.2-release . one of two works. it's the same script with same name and the zabbix agent is the same of course.

                Thus, the script works.

                Btw :

                				if (array_key_exists('enable', $config['captiveportal'][$cpkey])) {
                

                is already checking IF the captive portal instance is running.

                Double check if your are running the script as super user  (= 'root')

                  Double check if your are running the script as super user  (= 'root')

                  i add "echo $USER" on the script  :

                  zabbix_get -s "Wan" -p 10050 -k CP_users
                  root
                  Fatal error: Class 'SQLite3' not found in /etc/inc/captiveportal.inc on line 1454
                  PHP ERROR: Type: 1, File: /etc/inc/captiveportal.inc, Line: 1454, Message: Class 'SQLite3' not found
                  root
                  
                  

                  so you can see the script is running with the user root.

                    Was reading this message again - and this time in the afternoon, so this time the caffeine worked.
                    The errors is "Class 'SQLite3' not found" which is (should be) part of the PHP install on pfSense.

                    Visit this page : https://your-pfsense-box/phpinfo.php
                    Does it have a section that says "sqlite3" is included ?

                    Also : when using a navigator, php is using this php.ini file : /usr/local/etc/php.ini
                    When using the CLI, it 'could' be another one - check that.
                    Run :

                    php -q /usr/local/www/phpinfo.php | grep 'sqlite'
                    

                    Does it say:

                    PDO drivers => sqlite
                    pdo_sqlite
                    sqlite3
                    sqlite3.extension_dir => no value => no value

                    It looks like you haven't the same version of pfSEnse as I do … (which is, of course, the latest 'stable' version)

                    edit : or whatever what could explain why the sqlite3 php extension isn't avaible.

                      That extension hasn't been there for a while. Use /usr/local/bin/sqlite3 instead.

                        According to : /usr/local/etc/php/extensions.ini :

                        [2.3.2-RELEASE][admin@pfsense.brit-hotel-fumel.net]/root: cat /usr/local/etc/php/extensions.ini
                        ....
                        extension=pdo_sqlite.so
                        .....
                        extension=sqlite3.so
                        
                        

                        I have a clean

                        2.3.2-RELEASE-p1 (amd64)
                        built on Tue Sep 27 12:13:07 CDT 2016
                        FreeBSD 10.3-RELEASE-p9
                        

                        install.
                        I do have

                        /usr/local/bin/sqlite3
                        

                        But : does /etc/inc/captiveportal.inc use the 'extension' or the external binary ? If the external binary was used, I should have found a proof in the code.

                          I have an error : 404 Not Found so i can't tell you.

                          And

                          php -q /usr/local/www/phpinfo.php

                          I don't have any phpinfo.php on my whole pfsense…

                          Why the library missed when i used my zabbix server to launch the script on pfsense. and it's perfectly working on pfsense :-(

                              I just test with the new release of pfSense 2.3.3 and the script worked.
                              hallelujah :-)

                              Thanks for the help by the way  :)

                              Best regards
                              Myke

                                Thanks, this still works (2.3.4)

                                I implemented it differently, but using your script. I uploaded the script in the captive portal and my cacti-install gets the value via https from https://pfsensehost:8003/captiveportal-cpcount.php and graphs the output… works great! Finally CP count monitored.

                                An OID for SNMP would be great though.

                                  Hello, here is my version of the script :

                                  <?php
                                  	require_once("/etc/inc/util.inc");
                                  	require_once("/etc/inc/functions.inc");
                                  	require_once("/etc/inc/captiveportal.inc");
                                  
                                  	/* read in captive portal db */
                                  	/* determine number of logged in users */
                                  	$count_cpusers = 0;
                                  	/* Is portal activated ? */
                                  	if (is_array($config['captiveportal'])) {
                                  		//only one zone
                                  		if(isset($_GET["cpzone"])){
                                  			$cpzone=$_GET["cpzone"];
                                  			$count_cpusers = count(captiveportal_read_db());
                                  		}
                                  		else {
                                  
                                  			/* For every zone, do */
                                  			foreach ($config['captiveportal'] as $cpkey => $cp) {
                                  				/* Sanity check */
                                  				if (is_array($config['captiveportal'][$cpkey])) 
                                  					/* Is zone enabled ? */
                                  					if (array_key_exists('enable', $config['captiveportal'][$cpkey])) {
                                  						$cpzone = $cpkey;
                                  						/* Zone selected -> count users and add */
                                  						$count_cpusers += count(captiveportal_read_db());
                                  					}
                                  			}
                                  		}
                                  	}
                                  
                                  	echo $count_cpusers;
                                  ?>
                                  
                                  

                                  Here is how i check it with centreon :

                                  #!/bin/bash
                                  url=$1
                                  libelle=$2
                                  warningvalue=$3
                                  criticalvalue=$4
                                  
                                  if [ $# -eq '4' ]	
                                  	then
                                  
                                          #get the value
                                  	value=$(curl -sk $url)
                                  
                                          # UNKNOWN
                                           if [ -z "$value" ]
                                           then
                                                  echo "UNKNOWN - unable to establish the value returned"
                                                  exit 3
                                  
                                          # OK
                                           elif [ $value -lt $warningvalue ]
                                  	 then
                                  		echo "OK  - $value $libelle| value=$value"
                                  		exit 0
                                  
                                          # WARNING
                                           elif [ $value -gt $warningvalue ] && [ $value -lt $criticalvalue ]
                                  	 then
                                  		echo "WARNING - $value $libelle| value=$value"
                                  		exit 1
                                  
                                  	#CRITICAL
                                  	 else
                                  	 	echo "CRITICAL - $value $libelle| value=$value"
                                  		exit 2
                                           fi
                                  
                                  
                                  else
                                  	echo "Usage $0 url \"description of the value\" warningvalue criticalvalue"
                                  	exit 1
                                  
                                  fi
                                  

                                  this script is used like this :

                                  check_http_value https://10.11.0.1:8005/captiveportal-count-online-users.php?cpzone=captive_portal_r "users connected" 150 200
                                  OK  - 127 users connected| value=127
                                  

                                  maybe it is possible to improve this with using the $HOSTADRESS$...

                                  and here is the final result in centreon :
                                  c72b9eb7-9918-4ca8-8ebb-dc293d957f71-image.png
