        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:

            In working 2.4.3 system there is no 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.

                    Which ports are you running E2 Guardian on? Are you using other packages like pfblockerng?

                      Hi
                      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.

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

                                      so far so good, the only problem i encounter is each day when sarg stops logging, i need to change time format to American or European then force refresh for sarg to continue logging. its a little hassle but still it works.

                                      btw, till now i still can't figure out how to use the Users tab on E2Guardian or do i need to use LDAP?, need help with this one thanks.

                                      what I've tried so far is to use PFSENSE\(Group name)
                                      (Group Name)\(Account Name)
                                      PFSENSE\(Group Name)\(Account Name)

                                      ^ Doesn't work

                                        Clear the logs file manually, restart E2 Guardian and let me know what you've got your log rotate settings set as. It's been brilliant for me and working without any issues.

                                          Although I personally haven't used that specific configuration, and I just use groups. You may need to enable a different authentication method to be able to use the users tab. What authentication method have you currently got enabled?
