Traffic Totals Hourly Report Problem

YannTKO

There is another issue in the Top 10 days view.
The x-axis is wrong and no data shown with the mouse.

I see it too. If I have time I'll see if I can figure out why.

YannTKO

IMHO, we only should see 24h in the hourly view and not 2 days.

EDIT: I disabled/enabled graphing. It solved the problem (the graphic shows only 24h now).

pwnell

@YannTKO Did that delete history?

YannTKO

@pwnell Yes

I have a feeling this will not fix your issue. The problem is vnstat 2.4 now returns more than 24 hours of data - unlike before. So the code has to change in the php file to limit to the latest 24 hours. I am sure in 2 days you will again have > 24 entries...

YannTKO

I solved the top 10 days view issue by editing the file "status_traffic_totals.php"

Replace

value.id+1

by

index

Before:

$.each(raw_json.interfaces[interface_index].traffic.top, function(index, value) {
var date = Date.UTC(value.date.year, value.date.month-1, value.date.day);
localStorage.setItem(value.id+1, date);
tx_series.push([value.id+1, value.tx]);
rx_series.push([value.id+1, value.rx]);

After:

$.each(raw_json.interfaces[interface_index].traffic.top, function(index, value) {
var date = Date.UTC(value.date.year, value.date.month-1, value.date.day);
ocalStorage.setItem(index, date);
tx_series.push([index, value.tx]);
rx_series.push([index, value.rx]);

@pwnell You are right, the hourly report seems to record 48 hours and not 24.

@YannTKO I tried that too but thought it failed because the x axis did not show the dates. But that is definitely better than before, thanks.

YannTKO

@pwnell For me, the x-axis has never shown the date. It has always been from 1 to 10.

Hello,
I confirm that the hourly report shows more than 2 days (maybe 4).
To return back to 24 hours, I edited (I know I shouldn't edit this file but it's a try) :
/usr/local/etc/vnstat.conf

to add:
HourlyDays 1
and I restarted the service .

You can choose the data retention durations you need
In the file vnstat.conf.sample, it's written:

# data retention durations (-1 = unlimited, 0 = feature disabled)
5MinuteHours   48
HourlyDays      4
DailyDays      62
MonthlyMonths  25
YearlyYears    -1
TopDayEntries  20

Beware, when you change your settings in traffic totals by the webgui and you save them as defaults, the file vnstat.conf is written again and you loose your data retention durations selection you choosed by editing this file.
If you want to keep your selection or your options, you must edit the file /usr/local/pkg/status_traffic_totals.inc
This one is used to create vnstat.conf

House Of Cards

I'm following along here... Just to clarify. Are the totals recording correctly and it's just a display issue? Are the daily and monthly totals accurate?

YannTKO

@wormuths Yes, it's just a display issue. You can check your data with vnstat in the shell. If you decide to change the data retention durations, it will affect your data and not only the display.

@YannTKO, thank you very much for figuring a fix for those graphing issues.

Can anyone generate a system > patches files.

I am afraid i will really mess something up if I try manually changing files

Thanks

@pwnell Thank you this fixed my current problem where the hourly graph looked like the first image since I did a fresh install of 2.4.5

Yeah, if this is an issue, someone should write up a bug in Redmine (use the pfSense Packages section and the Status Traffic Totals category) and then update the package in Github so everyone can benefit from the change and easily apply a system patch in the meantime. Manually changing files works great until a file you changed is updated, then your change disappears. At least a system patch can be re-applied without re-editing the file.

value.time.hour

Just tried to create a pull request on GitHub what a mess that turned out to be. IF I have time later will try and do something in a non web version but that wasn't easy at all and it was a simple change to fix the hourly display on 2.4.5
