      @marcelloc, don't we have update fix for the content scanner ?

      since the update they made for the rotate log fix, the content scanner is no longer working. it makes the pfsense gui hang and I need to restore previous config to make it work.

        @marcelloc are you still active with e2guardian? What is the status?

        He's just very busy with work however he is slowly updating it whenever possible, last update was pretty recent.

          Are you able to provide any further info? Are you seeing any errors on logs? What's the resource usage like? Are you able to SSH into your box?

          Like I said earlier, content scanner is not a feature me or Marcelloc really use but let's try to find out why it crashes if possible.

            Ok here's my feedback about using Lightsquid to get logs on e2guardian, after 2 days it just stop logging e2guardian. i dunno what happened lol

            edit: seems like when i turn off the transparent proxy on squid proxy server, lightsquid doesn't work.

            gonna monitor it again for a few days if it'll stop logging.

            edit: good, its now running fine. earlier was kinda slow or something

              @pfsensation, @marcelloc

              attached is the error log.

              0_1542682201493_1541384673350-error-resized.png

              I have provided that screenshot, months before.

              System resource usage is fine, load average 0.14, 0.10, 0.04, cpu & swap usage is 0%, memorage usage is 28%.

              I am able to ssh to my box.

              Like I said, the content scanner (clamdscan) was perfectly running before the rotate log fix was created and updated to the package.

              Respectfully, I think it does not matter if the content scanner is a feature for you or for Marcelloc but rather for the use of the community since it is a feature placed in the package. Such content scanner should have been already removed if it is that useless.

              What I am saying is the content scanner was broken since their was a fix on rotate log. Perhaps, the developers who modified the package can differential what changes they have done before and after the rotate log fix and made changes accordingly.

                OK, those errors look config related. I'll have a chat with @marcelloc and then we'll see if we can send out another patch for it. Comparing the last build to your current, there doesn't seem to be any specific changes that would effect the content scanner.

                    How long have you set E2 Guardian to keep logs for? And how often are you log rotating? I've not come across this issue so it maybe a config issue.

                      @pfsensation i leave all lightsquid settings as default (should be fine i guess) but when i try to configure squid and turn off its transparent proxy and mitm (this is interfering with e2guardian so...) lightsquid doesn't log anything.

                      i dunno, maybe i need to make lightsquid listen to e2guardian ? anyways, i set my e2guardian to keep 20 log files.

                        Hi, I was busy past two weeks and I tried to install 2.4.4 again and I can see real time traffic. E2g is working except "weighted phrases". I went trough working configuration(2.4.3) and non working(2.4.4) and I couldn't see any difference.
                        The only difference is in log,
                        2.4.4 I have this error:

                            I've already asked @marcelloc to have a look into it. He believes it could be an ICAP issue, I'm not sure if he's had a chance yet to try implement a fix.

                              You shouldn't have transparent proxy on Squid anyways. Set E2 Guardian log format to Squid and make sure you install the custom Inc file so that light squid listens to E2 Guardian. It's higher up in this thread.

                                  I am using default port 8080 in direct connect widhout squid, no transparent mode and fresh install, only E2g and sarg on VMWARE. Like I sad I vent trough working config step by step several times and I didn't find any difference, it should be something in E2g.

                                  Regards

                                    Which interfaces are you listening on? Make sure it's set to LAN and localhost. I run my system in VMWare ESXi without any issues.

                                      I have set to both, are you using "phase list" filtering.

                                        Of course, I use black list and phrase list. Phrase based filtering is actually one of the core functions of E2 Guardian and what makes it vastly better than other systems like SquidGuard. I'm on 2.4.4 and haven't had those issues and doesn't look like anyone else has either. So I'd be interested to know why it would happen.

                                        Are you running just vmware work station or ESXi?

                                        Edit: put the HTTP workers up, I have mine at 3072.

                                          System working but e2guard access.log not working. I did port 8081, 8082; result same. Why?

                                            Can you check var/log/e2guardian/access.log and see if it's updating there?
