      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.

      you can solve this issue by editing the file:
      /usr/local/pkg/status_traffic_totals.inc

      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

        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

        It has been already done :

              @MyKroFt so you are happy to get to the file and edit it on the command line?

              I just open it with VI find "value.id" this and the first line that matched was the one in the post above by @pwnell

              "var date = Date.UTC(value.date.year, value.date.month-1, value.date.day, value.id);"

              then edit value.id to value.time.hour

              This fixed the hourly graphs for me which is all I was interested in. Save then quit and refresh the page job done.

                    thank you, knowing it was the .php instead of .inc made sense and was able to edit the file

                    thanks

                        huh.. The file you want to edit is

                        [2.4.5-RELEASE][admin@sg4860.local.lan]/usr/local/www: ls status_traffic_totals.php 
                        status_traffic_totals.php
                        [2.4.5-RELEASE][admin@sg4860.local.lan]/usr/local/www: 
                        

                        This looks like it was fixed back in nov
                        https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-ports/commit/dcb4949cc70f78006d05c662aa81c5849f93d4c0#diff-cbd6e5b8cd0fd83476715c17fdb47eec98bd0b54a6426f7dc7cfaeea141f7a4c

                        But shows that it should be 2.3.2, but that is not what is being pulled down - only 2.3.1_1

                        Without looking deeper - my guess would be that 2.3.2 is for 2.5 and not 2.4.5.. I fixed it with simple edit.. So I haven't really spent much time looking..

                            No idea why you would think you would find anything like that?

                            Look in the link I provided for exactly what needs to be changed.

                              I am sorry but GitHub is not my specialty. Is this a patch I am suppose to apply or edit the file munually ?

                              I tried with the patch system and I get a reply that it cannot be applied safely.

                                In the link I posted to - see the green vs the red..

                                You change the red line to look like the green line.. Its really a couple of characters to change..

                                You change value.id, to be value.time.hour on one line

                                And then change the value.id+1 to index on the 3 other lines.

                                Or just not worry about it until they release the update.. Its not like it has anything to do with anything... Its reporting the amount of traffic..

                                I hadn't even noticed it - because I normally just look at the month graph ;)

                                    Really? Dude in the same post where I give the link, I give the path to where the file is..

                                    What I would suggest - is you just not worry about it, until the package is actually updated, or 2.5 comes out and you move to that..

                                      Duh! Yeah, sorry I missed it.

                                      The reason I am trying to have this working is that it's the easiest way to see at what time the kid (stepson) went to bed. A lot of traffic at lets say 3AM means he is still up watching stupid Youtuber.

                                      I have schedules and rules but I am not the one deciding to enable/disable them. I am just a clerk here in terms of the teen's management. 😞

                                      But a 3AM bed time along with bad marks at school miraculously allow one clerk to re-enable the schedules.

                                      ntop gives pretty granular data about the traffic but surprisingly, unless I missed that as well, not a simple report of just which IP (LAN) was active when. I really miss YaMON in that regard.

                                      Thanks again.

                                        Well fix it - its a simple edit of a file. You have been given the file to edit, the changes to make to the file.. Other then logging into your system and doing it for you.. I am at a loss to how I could provide any more info ;)

                                          I did fix it.
                                          Should have said: the reason I wantED this.

                                          So no more help was/is required on this matter.

                                          Again, sorry for sounding dumb but english is my second language, french beeing the first. On writing, I do not have an accent from a Bangalore's customer assistance clerk but unfortunately, my thinking is straighter than I can express it in written english. 😬
