Can i use this package wit next configuration?

• bridge(1 wan + 1 lan)
• squid

[Perry]

is xl0 your lan

[Jonb]

no I have an internal interface as rl0 which I have changed in the log since I posted it

[Jonb]

Hmmm no when I goto see the charts I get a blank screen.

[Perry]

if your .conf looks like this

Subnets to collect statistics on.  Traffic that

matches none of these subnets will be ignored.

Syntax is either IP Subnet Mask or CIDR

subnet 10.255.0.0/24

Device to listen on

Bandwidthd listens on the first device it detects

by default.  Run "bandwidthd -l" for a list of

devices.

dev "rl0"
dev "xl0"

try deleting the xl0 line
save and restart service

This file was automatically generated by the pfSense

package management system.  Changing this file

will lead to it being overwritten again when

the package manage resyncs.

Bandwidthd.conf

Commented out options are here to provide

documentation and represent defaults

Subnets to collect statistics on.  Traffic that

matches none of these subnets will be ignored.

Syntax is either IP Subnet Mask or CIDR

###################################################

Options that don't usually get changed

An interval is 2.5 minutes, this is how many

intervals to skip before doing a graphing run

Graph cutoff is how many k must be transfered by an

ip before we bother to graph it

#Put interface in promiscuous mode to score to traffic
#that may not be routing through the host machine.

#Log data to cdf file htdocs/log.cdf
output_cdf true

#Read back the cdf file on startup
recover_cdf true

#Libpcap format filter string used to control what bandwidthd see's
#Please always include "ip" in the string to avoid strange problems

#Draw Graphs - This default to true to graph the traffic bandwidthd is recording
#Usually set this to false if you only want cdf output or
#you are using the database output option.  Bandwidthd will use very little
#ram and cpu if this is set to false.

#Set META REFRESH seconds (default 150, use 0 to disable).

This is strange because sometimes when you click access bandwidthd it doesn't load up anything. Then other time it will load but just say no details have been collected.

I have been testing bandwidthd and come to the following, for whatever it is worth.

If I install Pfsense with xl0=wan and xl1=lan, bandwidthd will listen to wan.
If I install Pfsense with xl0=lan and xl1=wan, bandwidthd will listen to wan. (Can be seen in system logs.)
No logging of  in either case.

However, if I go to interfaces assign and swap interfaces there, it works like a dream. But if I change any settings and save, bandwidthd goes back to listen to wan and stops logging.

I tried to set the interface in the configfile with no luck. I did notice a notice stating that it will chose the first interface it seas, and that this is set in the startup script an will override the configfile.

[jahonix]

Same behavior over here.

I run pfSense with 3 NICs (Realtek…) with rl0 being LAN and rl1 assigned to WAN. rl2 is currently unassigned.

A checkbox on the config page to tell bandwithd the port to listen on would be really helpful.

See the original thread.  There are many bugs in bandwidthd.

As i posted yesterday IN the original thread before it was deleted, I cannot get the latest package to install.

It just hangs on this step:

"Executing custom_php_install_command()…"

As i said, im not sure if its just me, but i could install the old package fine and i just thought id let you know.

Cheers,

Upgrade to the latest snapshot.  I cannot reproduce this issue here.

I have the same problem. It hangs on custom_php_install_command()

Heres the logs:
Feb 19 21:47:13 php: /pkg_mgr_install.php: Beginning package installation for bandwidthd.
Feb 19 21:47:15 php: /pkg_mgr_install.php: You should specify a interface for bandwidthd to listen on. exiting.

Fixed a few installation issues as well.  Please try again

Im still getting the "No Data to Graph Error" i was getting prior to the update. (though the updated version does install now again).

I did:
mkdir /usr/local/bandwidthd
mkdir /usr/local/bandwidthd/etc
touch /usr/local/bandwidthd/etc/bandwidthd.conf

Now it installs.

[Jonb]

I have done an update so I will test it when I get home.

[sullrich]

@LawnMowerGuy1:

I did:
mkdir /usr/local/bandwidthd
mkdir /usr/local/bandwidthd/etc
touch /usr/local/bandwidthd/etc/bandwidthd.conf

Now it installs.

That should not be needed.  The FreeBSD package has all of this in it..

[Jonb]

Now I get a blank screen ??????
