Traffic shaping flakey, Status -> Queues not loading

stechnique · Oct 2, 2008, 12:41 AM

Hey folks,

Using snapshot 1410 from today October 1st, I was able to configure the traffic shaper by removing the RED tags in each queue (and the dedicated links wizard wasn't creating all the proper WAN queues so I added those manually as well).
I have some hiccups on my VoIP calls when I run a bandwidth speed test when I start and finish the upload portion. I'm trying to see queue status to better monitor what's going on, but the queue status is not loading. Whenever I go to the Status -> Queues page, the bars do not load, and the system web server stops responding for at least 60 seconds even if I close the page and try to log back on to the webGUI. After a while (60 to 120 seconds) the web servers starts loading pages again.

Tested on IE7, Firefox 2, Firefox 3, Safari 3…
What's up?

Just wanted to confirm that this bug is still here.

Using 1.3-ALPHA-ALPHA
built on Mon Oct 6 22:00:43 EDT 2008. Status-> Queues only loads the first queue, then hangs. Also, the wizard for multi-wan kills the configuration, and I had to reinstall completely to get back into my box.

Did the Status->Queues lock your browser ?

about the multiwan wizard they function normally they just need red be removed from the config(for now) but i will take care of that.

@ermal:

Yea, I browsed farther back in this forum and saw that disabling red from each and every queue fixes it. The status-> queues doesn't lock the browser. Status bar says transferring from xx.xx.xx.xx, but the web server on the pfsense box hangs until you close status-> queues and wait about a minute. Is there a debug log I can activate/see?

I thought it might be the wizard, so I manually configured a traffic shaper config with only a few queues, and that still made the web server hang.

I've also started with a fresh installation of the same release, still got the same problem.

I have the same problem. Sometimes when viewing queues I get locked out of the webUI for a few minutes. This appears to be a bug with pfSense, and has been around for a while.

Status -> Queues is now fixed so you can use it.
