Does this exist? (THE DUDE)

elementalwindx

I'm coming from Mikrotik and switching everything over to PFSense as I'm learning more about PFSense and LOVEing everything.

Is there a way to do a setup like mikrotiks "The dude" where you can setup a map showing all the info about your pfsense firewalls, and it pings them to see their uptime, and ping response?

Perhaps something like pfCenter?

Quotes from Scott Ulrich's twitter posts:

pfCenter is the product we are working on to allow administration of multiple pfSense boxen from one GUI / Appliance.

pfCenter now supports tags! Later this summer we will change how large scale deployments of pfSense are managed.

That looks so sexy! Any way I can get a hold of the packages and use this? Or is it so new that its still being made? Looks pretty new.

If I'm right this package is only shared if you buy support.

I don't think anything definite has been said. It's all a big mystery! ;D
However I do seem to recall reading that it may not be open source.

To be honest if you have enough pfSense installs that you need a central monitoring system perhaps you should have a support contract.

I'm an IT consultant and I'm always trying out new things for my clients and I have at least 5 that I can think of that can use this amazing software and at least two would be able and willing to pay for a support plan. I like to support a project that is living and quite well. I just need to run this software for a while and see how stable it is. So far it does not seem too stable, but I blame that on me making all sorts of changes and trying different situations with my box. I'm only on day 2 and I've had to power cycle the box at random for it becoming non-responsive a few times. :)
