Logging data usage on WAN Port
-
Hi,
I have a pfsense system and have two WAN ports. One is connected to my main broadband provider and the other to a 4G router which has a 24GB/24 month SIM for backup if the main network falls over. So I have a 24GB allowance to use over 24 months.
I'm in dispute with the provider of the SIM as I am being told that I have used the data allowance up. They were also confused that the SIM was 24 months and anyway....I don't for a minute think I have used the data allowance up so given the amount of time I've wasted on hold, is there a simple way that I can see aggregated usage on a WAN port over time? over a few months via the logs? Can I set a script up for it?
Thanks in advance,
Richard

@m0snr Well you should be able to just look at the status of your interface and get a total counter in packets which would give you a hint to if you moving any amount of data... Keep in mind there is a quality check that would be running, it defaults to zero data.. But still something moving back and forth that could use up your data..
In/out packets 356808060/343365930 (388.44 GiB/339.52 GiB) In/out packets (pass) 356808060/343365930 (388.44 GiB/339.52 GiB)The monitoring graphs will show you bit rates over time.. And the package "Status_Traffic_Totals" is prob of interest to you.
