New Traffic Totals package available for testing
-
No, per user stats is not the purpose of this package.
-
Can I split information per user in LAN network?
I would check how much data download from Internet each user on LAN.
You'll probably want to look at ntop or darkstat… a note that darkstat's data resets when pfSense reboots. ntop is persistent, but over time can become a rather large amount of data.

Latest snapshots with Traffic Totals 0.5 is out now.
-
moved - sorry jdillard!
-
Please keep discussions on topic and make a new thread for topics not about this package.
edit: Thanks luckman212, and no worries.

where do we look to find this? I am on 2.3.2.a.20160717.2316 and I still see only 0.4_1 … does it take time to roll out to a mirror site or something?
-
Can the save defaults also save which graph of the 4 for default as well?
also can the left side numbers be shortened MB,GB,TB etc?Thanks for your work on bringing this plugin back from the dead!

Maybe try upgrading pfSense to the latest snapshot. I already had it installed on 2.3.2.a.20160715.0559 and was able to upgrade to 0.5. Sometimes if work is done to the package system it can mess with package upgrades showing up.

Oops forgot to test that part, I'll get that in 0.6.

That is #6b on the TODO list. I have to figure out how to make a custom format for the axis ticks since it uses 1024, instead of 1000 for SI units.

Oh I think I know why, because I'm on factory, not CE. Maybe those take a little longer to show up. I see CE 20160718-1342 is out but I don't want to switch to the CE track. Did that once before and I wound up having to pave the box to get back on factory.
-
ah yes, that is most likely the case. FWIW, 2.3.2 will be out pretty soon.
Also, during the snapshots phase packages are only revved when a new snapshot is built. In production, packages can be revved independently so it can rev more frequently.
-
Any more updates?
Thanks

This is a really nice package and it looks great, thanks jdillard!
-
Yeah, thanks a bunch :D
-
Thanks for all the help and for being patient!
I'll try to continue to improve it (the known issues) over time.

@jdillard Just wanted to let you know that I upgraded to pfSense 2.3.2 today and installed the new Traffic Totals package. It picked up my current vnstat DB with no issues. Between this package and the vnStat Web Interface, I'm able to display a years worth of data if needed.
Btw great work on the new package!
-
Two things make me to stay away from 2.3.x version until now, the most important being the lack of the possibility to receive by email the report of the daily activity of my pfSense bridge-firewall.
Now, I went back from vacations, and I found this thread. This allow to me to try to re-test pfSense 2.3.x: many hanks to jdillard!
Anyway, maybe I missed something, but my dumb question is now: "Does this package allow to send a daily mail with the graph report(s) of the activity of the interface(s) or it simply gives the opportunity to view 'online' the activity of a pfSense device along a large period of time?"Thanx,

It just to view web pages at the moment - but
I installed the mailreport plugin and daily run following command:
/usr/local/bin/vnstat -i re0 ; /usr/local/bin/vnstat -i re0 –exportdb
you can run any vnstat options you want and multi commands by using ";" between them
and they show up at exactly 12am/daily that I have it set for
take a look at the mailreport plugin - i think it will do what you want/need

Perhaps a very stupid question - but I am on 2.3.2-RELEASE (x64), and I have just installed Status_Traffic_Totals 1.1_1. It works, however I do not see vnstat anywhere - it is not available in the Available Packages list, and it is not part of my cron jobs. Hence no data is being gathered.
I am to set up vnstat manually?
-
Vnstat is included as far as I can tell. I didn't need to install any other packages, works fine here :)
When you just installed it, you need to give it some time for it to gather the data.
