IMSpector, file?

rsw686

I'm not sure if this should go here or if i need a new thread:

Is the imspector log file supposed to empty out with every reboot? imspector works fine, but after i reboot the log folder is empty. Is there some setting i'm missing?

Also, the word "viwer"(viewer) is misspelled on the log page. I have the build from about 3 days ago, so i'm not sure if it's fixed.

thx.

I fixed the spelling mistake. I never even noticed it. Thanks.

As far as the logs being emptied on reboot it I'll have to look into that.

I changed the log directory to /var/imspector for now. Reinstall the package, navigate to the imspector settings page and click change.

If you want to keep your current logs you can stop the package, move the logs from /var/log/imspector to /var/imspector and then do the above.

We're going to look into making a /var/log/persistent directory so the logs will probably get moved to /var/log/persistent/imspector in the future. I will update this thread if/when that occurs.

I'm using MySQL logging.

Which, with the update you posted, works just fine - I can see the entries in the MySQL database.

However, the entries do not show up in the IMSpector LogViewer in the pfSense interface.

The log viewer only supports file based logs.

Understood - and it is something that I can live with - I'll just have to make my own PHP log view - no big.

Thanks for package and the prompt reply :)

You'll need to add mysql support to php. The file log viewer works in almost realtime with ajax. You could probably use the same javascript and just change the php reading the files to sql statements pulling data from mysql. I've been real busy lately and just haven't had much time to work on things. If you get it working it would be great if you would share the code so I can include it in the package.

Oh, I was going to do it all on a the same machine that has the mysql server running

But now that you mention it, I'll take a look at the code that is there. If I get it working, I'll certainly let you know.

Under services, it lists IMSpector twice for me. Is it doing that for everyone else?
