Report of network traffic by email
-
Is there a package that reports network traffic and send them by email? I have installed ntopng 3.0 but i don't find this option.Lightsquid does not have this option. I use squid + squidguard + captive portal and i have several vlans configured on my pfsense 2.4
Thanks.

You can do this with vnstat (the Status_Traffic_Totals package) and the mailreport package.
Install both, get vnstat going, and then under Status -> Email reports add a line that will mail you regularly (e.g., daily at midnight) the output of the commands
/usr/local/bin/vnstat -i pppoe0; /usr/local/bin/vnstat -i pppoe0 -hwhich in this case would be the statistics for the pppoe0 interface.
For mailreport to work, you need to have setup System -> Advanced -> Notifications (the SMTP part there).

Old thread but wanted to say thanks, this is very useful. In case anyone wonders, this is a sample output of what you see in the email:
Current report: Daily vnstst interface statistics for PPPoE Command output: Daily interface statistics (/usr/local/bin/vnstat -i pppoe0; /usr/local/bin/vnstat -i pppoe0 -h) Database updated: Mon Sep 24 18:55:00 2018 WAN (pppoe0) since 09/24/18 rx: 2.98 MiB tx: 1.85 MiB total: 4.83 MiB monthly rx | tx | total | avg. rate ------------------------+-------------+-------------+--------------- Sep '18 2.98 MiB | 1.85 MiB | 4.83 MiB | 0.02 kbit/s ------------------------+-------------+-------------+--------------- estimated 2 MiB | 1 MiB | 3 MiB | daily rx | tx | total | avg. rate ------------------------+-------------+-------------+--------------- today 2.98 MiB | 1.85 MiB | 4.83 MiB | 0.58 kbit/s ------------------------+-------------+-------------+--------------- estimated 2 MiB | 1 MiB | 3 MiB | WAN (pppoe0) 18:55 ^ r | r | r | r | rt | rt | rt | rt | rt | rt -+---------------------------------------------------------------------------> | 19 20 21 22 23 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 h rx (KiB) tx (KiB) h rx (KiB) tx (KiB) h rx (KiB) tx (KiB) 19 0 0 03 0 0 11 0 0 20 0 0 04 0 0 12 0 0 21 0 0 05 0 0 13 0 0 22 0 0 06 0 0 14 0 0 23 0 0 07 0 0 15 0 0 00 0 0 08 0 0 16 0 0 01 0 0 09 0 0 17 0 0 02 0 0 10 0 0 18 3049 1894 -
Bluestacks is a app player to run android stuff on PCs and Mac - WTF could that have to do with having an email email you bandwidth use?

Better still create a shell script and run it with what ever options you want:-
[2.4.4-RELEASE][admin@pfsense] /root/scripts: more vnstat-daily
#!/bin/csh
foreach int ( igb0.2 igb0.3 igb0.4 igb0.5 igb0.6 igb0.7 enc0 pppoe0 )
echo
/usr/local/bin/vnstat -i $int -h
echo
end
