Traffic Totals Hourly Report Problem

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

@YannTKO said in Traffic Totals Hourly Report Problem:

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 :

I have the same issues too... First i thought i was the only one to have issues until i saw this thread :) .. I just installed it and then removed it again when it turned out it was not working properly..

guess I am dumb and dont understand what to change in this file, any push in the right direction?

hulleyrob

@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.

Editing /usr/local/pkg/status_traffic_totals.inc is just to keep data retention choice.
Editing status_traffic_totals.php is to solve the hourly/10 days graphical issues.

@YannTKO sorry you are correct it was the PHP file I edited, early morning here coffee not kicked in yet.

MyKroFt

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

thanks

Thank you for pointing me here.

This thread as started in July and and the problem is stil pending ?

I am in /user/local/pkg but there is no file status_traffic_totals.php

johnpoz

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..

@johnpoz
I have opened the php file but cannot find "HourlyDays".

johnpoz

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.

NinthWave

@johnpoz
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.

johnpoz

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 ;)

NinthWave

@johnpoz
Where is this file ?

johnpoz

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..

@johnpoz

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 ;)

@johnpoz
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.
