[As Good As Solved!] Watchguard Firebox Arm/Disarm LED
-
There is a new version of WGXepc.
Find it attached to this thread along with the source code.
As before remove the .png extension and chmod it 0755 once it's on the box.It now supports the XTM5 series boxes with LED and fan control (of sorts!).
I have tested it on all the known boxes with 2.0.x and 2.1beta but my testing is limited, let me know if it misbehaves.[2.0.3-RELEASE][root@pfsense.fire.box]/root(7): /conf/WGXepc Found Firebox X-Peak WGXepc Version 0.8 14/5/2013 stephenw10 WGXepc can accept two arguments: -f (fan) will return the current and minimum fan speed or if followed by a number in hex, 00-FF, will set it. -l (led) will set the arm/disarm led state to the second argument: red, green, red_flash, green_flash, red_flash_fast, green_flash_fast, off -b (backlight) will set the lcd backlight to the second argument: on or off. Do not use with LCD driver. Not all functions are supported by all modelsSteve

I added an option to read the cpu temperature sensor on the X-e box since it was trivial to do and mbmon seemed to giving some errors.

Do not use with LCD driver. -t (temperature) shows the current CPU temperature reported by the SuperIO chip. X-e box only. Not all functions are supported by all modelsSteve

I used your latest Ver 0.9 and edited the /usr/local/www/includes/functions.inc.php file (find and modify these entries in the file):
function has_temp() {
/* no known temp monitors available at present */
/* should only reach here if there is no hardware monitor /
/ return false; */
return true;
}function get_temp() {
$temp_out = "";
exec("/conf/WGXepc -t | /usr/bin/awk 'NR==3{print;exit}'", $dfout);
$temp_out = trim($dfout[0]);return $temp_out;
}Now the temp displays on the Dashboard pulling from WGXepc.
Tested on Firebox X550e

Nice. :)
Let me know if it seems stable. It should be identical to mbmon but like I said another user found mbmon giving bad numbers after several days. Also mbmon has 0.5°C accuracy but I didn't both reading that register so it's only 1°C accurate. ::)Steve

Sweet, thanks for the code, it worked like a charm, appears within 2 degrees of mbmon at any one point. Looks like I need to throw some arctic silver on the heatsink. This is fan at 32

I had my fan set at 52 on a Pentium M 735 and at 37C. On high load, it will come up to 50. Im not worried about the $7 processor so much as having the system lock up when I am away. lol

Very nice, many thanks!

Only one parameter at a time. My coding skills very limited. ;)
I use the shellcmd package instead of an RC script. It is stored in configuration file so it survives a firmware update.Steve

7 days of uptime and still displaying the correct temp. So far everything appears stable.

Hello,
just installed it and runs fine.
Does anyone need the output of
pciconf -r pci0:31:0 0:256 ```? -
@pyroblast:
Does anyone need the output of
pciconf -r pci0:31:0 0:256Thanks for offering but the X1250e is identical to the other boxes we have tested already. So unless you have some odd variant we already have the info. Since the program recognises your box already it seems it's using the same board. :)

sorry for the necrobump, but where did this project end up?
-
It ended up here: https://github.com/stephenw10/WGXepc
And here if you want to test it on one of the newer devices.

Hi,
Thanks @stephenw10 for your tool.
I packaged it in a widget, to use it with the web interface and automatically change the fan speed depending on the temperature.
For those interested: pfSense-Watchguard-widget
Best regards

Ah, nice.
For the X-e boxes only I assume? Pretty sure I never added temperature reading to any others.
Edit: Forgot the XTM8.Steve
-
Yes, I only have a firebox X750e, so I only make this widget for my usage :)
But don't hesitate to make a pull request if you want add more compatibility
