      @erbalo So you want the big graph to be bits per second and the smaller one to be bytes per second? If so, it should be really easy to do. Just look at the Queries and Visualizations when you edit the graph.

        Thanks , it solved now. I have added *8 after the bytes)

        Another question:
        When i look this graph, it is not really my montly WAN download and upload. It updates well and working but is not correct. What is going wrong here?

        111a.png

        SELECT sum("bytes_recv") / 1000000 FROM "net" WHERE ("host" =~ /^MYROUTERNAME.MYROUTERDOMAIN$/ AND "interface" =~ /^ipx0$/) AND time >= 1598911200000ms GROUP BY time(30m) fill(previous)

          Did you remove the below from your Dashboard upload file? If so how do we turn it back on?

            load the old JSON dashbord as new and copy that panel and paste on your new Dashboard.

              @cburbs It still appears on my dashboard. I'll do another sync this weekend.

                @erbalo If the question is "Why doesn't the total data transferred for the last 30 days or month not match what my ISP is showing as my total transferred for the last 30 days or month", I'm not sure. How far off are the numbers? It could either be the query and calculation happening in Grafana or a question for the broader pfSense forums.

                  @erbalo That worked if I copied the code from here - https://github.com/VictorRobellini/pfSense-Dashboard

                  I originally pulled it from here though - https://grafana.com/grafana/dashboards/12023

                  Does the one at Grafana not get updated?

                    It would be too much of a PITA to update both. Plus GitHub is a much better place to host the project since there are multiple readmes, additional files, bugs, and merge/pull options. Formatting things in the right way isn't possible on Grafana's site.

                    Which is why the very first line of my Grafana post reads:

                    For the latest version, visit: https://github.com/VictorRobellini/pfSense-Dashboard

                          Thank you very much for your work.

                          I had to install Grafana & Influxdb on Windows 2019. :|

                          Everything is working fine except Active users / Uptime / Interface Summary. It says no data.

                          I downloaded the files directly on Pfsense.

                          The data is being populated on Influxdb, though I could not make the telegraf.log to work.

                          Any idea on what am I missing?

                          Thank you.

                            If you are seeing the "Active users / Uptime / Interface Summary" in the influx DB but not on the graph, it's possible that there's an issue with the query and I don't think the telegraf.log is going to help. It could be a result of a bad dashboard import or a newer versions of Grafana.

                            You will want to specifically see what gets returned by the below queries:

                            select * from system limit 5
                            select * from net limit 5

                              @VictorRobellini Thank you very much for the fast reply. I agree that it could be relative to a bad dashboard import.

                              For the uptime panel I was able to import it from another dashboard and compared to yours and it was the same but the imported one was working.

                              I was able to fix interface summary by importing directly from the Grafana website and copy/paste the panel.

                              Active users was not working either on the other dashboard I imported.

                              These gives data but I did not had time to format it.
                              select * from system limit 5
                              select * from net limit 5

                              Thank you again.

                                  For the unbound - on telegrah - looks like does not work with the latest version of pfsense and telegrah

                                  It used to work..

                                  In telegraf config..

                                  [[inputs.unbound]]
                                  server = "127.0.0.1:953"
                                  binary = "/usr/local/bin/telegraf_unbound.sh"

                                  Command to check:

                                  /usr/local/bin/telegraf -config=/usr/local/etc/telegraf.conf --test --input-filter unbound

                                  Output:

                                    Recently tried out the new version of PfBlockerNG 3.0.0_1 and was looking to test the new python integration with unbound that produces the client ip in the logs when using null blocking. (requires pfsense 2.5.x and latest version of unbound)

                                    Wanted to confirm that not only does it work but everything still shows up in this grafana dashboard.

                                      @erbalo I am facing this similar issue, when I see the telegraf log I have this message everywhere... Did you find any solution?

                                      For example:

                                      d5c7e38b-77be-4283-ac33-88a4e4756509-image.png

                                        This dashboard is absolutely fantastic! it works very well.
                                        It looks like it would have taken a lot of hard work, time and effort.
                                        Thanks for doing this!

                                            To calculate the monthly WAN download/upload, use the following query format

                                            SELECT non_negative_difference(last("bytes_recv")) FROM "net" WHERE ("host" =~ /^$Host$/ AND "interface" =~ /^$WAN$/) AND $timeFilter GROUP BY time($__interval) fill(null)

                                            Set Query Options / Relative Time to - 'now/M'. Leave Everything else as is in Query Options.

                                            For Visualization use 'Stat'. Then under 'Display' select Calculations > Total

                                            Then Goto Field from the TAB above / Units > bytes(SI)
