Traffic Graph Inverse Reversed?

KOM

Or you could just accept that in this graph, north is inbound, south is outbound. How do you determine which way is "correct"?? Is there an IEEE or ISO spec on traffic graph axes? ;D

You could turn the monitor upside down ;) But then it will be flowing right to left…

It should be a real simple change to do what he wants, prob nobody ever asked for it before is all..

Yeah, it's probably unfair of me to say what is "correct." It's obviously just a preference. I have always thought of inbound traffic as "down" like "downloads" or flowing down to me with uploads going up up away and out.

I'm sure many other people think of it differently or don't care. I figured it doesn't hurt to ask though!

Network interfaces have very natural in and out directions and that is where the pfSense conventions and terminology come from.

johnpoz

he is not talking about the convention of in out.. The data would be the same - he just want to flip the graph over.. So that the out is shown on the top and in is shown on the bottom.. That is my understanding..

Its just a cosmetic thing to the graph, not changing in out data on the interface.. Just which variable gets graphed on top and which on bottom when you pick inverse.

It certainly doesn't. In fact, that's how some new features and fixes have appeared over the years.

^ exactly… I don't see how you can change colors either - which would nice eye candy as well. That way you could use fav sportsball team colors...

Hi,

Inversing "In" and "Out" when using Status => Traffic Graph on WAN ?

Quick and dirty (means : I didn't look for side effects) solution :

/usr/local/www/js/traffic-graphs.js
Goto line 290.
See

					if(window.invert) {
						trafficOut = 0 - trafficOut;
					}

```Change for

				if(window.invert) {
					trafficOut = 0 + trafficOut;
					trafficIn = 0 - trafficIn; 
				}


valid for version pfSense
