Sarg package for pfsense

marcelloc

But what are the arguments for a weekly and a monthly report.

google search could help a lot ;).

I've found this on http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports/2005-November/027512.html

TODAY=$(date +%d/%m/%Y)
YESTERDAY=$(date -v-1d +%d/%m/%Y)
WEEKAGO=$(date -v-1w -v-1d +%d/%m/%Y)
MONTHAGO=$(date -v-1m -v-1d +%d/%m/%Y)
YEARAGO=$(date -v-1y -v-1d +%d/%m/%Y)

Hi Marcelloc

This page I had already found. But somehow it did not work.
But I get no errors.

Are you rotating the squid log?

Tom70

Yes. Every 60 days.

did you tried -d date -v-1w +%d/%m/%Y-date +%d/%m/%Y for a week report?

hi guys, i've been reading this thread. I just installed Sarg today.

I'm using Squid Transparent with SquidGuard. Just standard config, with log turned on (log rotate also).

I can view Realtime just fine, but I can't seem to generate a report when I try forcing a sched with the following args:

-d date +%d/%m/%Y-date +%d/%m/%Y

I just get this:

Error: Could not find report index file.
Check and save sarg settings and try to force sarg schedule.

Should I do anything special config to make it work?

yes, check all sarg config options, reports to generate and create a schedule to run.

Default sarg options has (yes) after it's description. Select all to create a default config.

Thank you. I had to simply select (ctrl+click to highlight) the config options then click save. I got confused because I thought they're already enabled since they already have a (yes) on them.

I have Sarg running on multiple pfsense boxes. One of my boxes has about 100 users behind it and the report will only work for about the first 4 hours after I wipe out the squid logs. After that I am guessing the squid log gets too big and the sarg report will no longer work.

I am using the -d arguments and I have tried limiting the number of users.

Any suggestions on how I can get sarg to accept a larger log file?

I have large files working fine.

try to run sarg on console to check what it returns.

Seems to be working fine now. I just need to figure out my schedule because, like others my report is pretty empty at 00:00. I need to figure out Cron now.

I have highlighted what I am questioning. Is this rotating my squid logs even after I have set them not to rotate?

Check on squid config because it's not created by sarg.

This is my squid config. Rotation should be disabled.

I think it is working now. Thanks for all your help Marcelloc

Marcelloc, I am not sure if this is a bug or if I am doing something / missing something.

I would like to provide access to the Sarg reports to a few users. When I give them permissions via the user manager to the Sarg reports, it does not work fully.
The real time logs work, but when you try and view reports it just flickers non stop. Looks like it is trying to load the sarg reports frame inside the sarg reports frame.

Attached is the permissions I am giving the user. Is there an easier way or is this a bug?

Reinstall sarg package, I've fixed it last week.

ckuecker

awesome! Thanks!!

edit: works like a charm!

Using nano 2.0.1 and SARG 2.3.2 pkg v.0.6.1.
No matter what I do, tried everithing I found in this forum.
I always get
Error: Could not find report index file.
Check and save sarg settings and try to force sarg schedul

Running sarg -x results in

Running a schedule results in

If something is written in these forums, I tried it. :(
Realtime works correctly but what I need i history data.
Any other test/debug I can try?

marcelloc

what config and report options did you selected?

this is my current config

I had the same problem as LoZio. To get mine to work I did the following -

de-selected all of the options on the general tab and saved it
forced an update on the schedule tab
re-selected the options on the general tab and saved it
forced an update on the schedule tab

This caused the index.html file to be generated in my /usr/local/sarg-reports folder. Up until this point everything else was working except for the index.html file.
