Sarg package for pfsense

Nachtfalke

Seems as if it was a time thing. After making no changes and just checking the reporting now, it is working.

I did have this sometimes when creating a shedule for the first time. Doing a force update now does not work or it seems as it does not but later everything is running.

Daksh

I have installed squid(logging enabled) and i have set transparent mode off(if i switch it on i cannot access most of the websites)
after that if i try sarg, in report: it doesnt show anything(it says you have not configured….) and if i go in realtime and check then it shows only 1 entry of txt/...

i have tried to install this soo many times earlier once it showed websites in realtime but only once upon a time that too of only 15 minutes(approx.)

Please help...

I am a newbie

Getting the same message:
rror: Could not find report index file.
Check and save sarg settings and try to force sarg schedule.

But I can see the index.html file and other related files in /usr/local/sarg-reports/2014Jun04-2014Jun05

So…I simply copied the index.html up one level and into /usr/local/sarg-reports
the .conf file has the output_dir set to /usr/local/sarg-reports
But...how does this work if files are being placed in these dated sub directories??

This seems to have fixed things.
Bug? A configuration setting I need to change somewhere?

[EDIT]
Fiddled around with some settings and now it's apparently working?
I'm wondering if disabling the logging function and then re-enabling did something?

Hi Gurus
After following the recommendation that I was learning in this page:
I copy the "index.html" from /usr/local/sarg-reports/2014/06/30/ to /usr/local/sarg-reports/

But I Can not obtain any value:

Review in the log file, I observed
![](http://Log Sarg.jpg)

Any suggestion why I can not obtain any report:

In the real Time report I can observe the pages that my customer access:

Any suggestion

Hi guys, two questions and a suggestion.
I configured Sarg in order to analyze the logs of DansGuardian.

How many days keeps the log rotation made by Sarg?
Where do you configure this period, both for Sarg and DansGuardian?

As Marcelo (https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=50239.msg270375#msg270375), at this time my scheduled tasks are only two:

Status	Update	Aditional Args						Post		Description
	Frequency							Action
on	1h 	-d `date +%d/%m/%Y`					none		Today
on	1d 	-d `date +01/%m/%Y`-`date +31/%m/%Y`			none		This month

Since these operations produce reports that do not include the data generated in the last part of the period (respectively, from 23:00 to 00:00 and in the last day of the month), it would be a useful planning like this:

Status	Update	Aditional Args						Post		Description
	Frequency							Action
on	1h 	-d `date +%d/%m/%Y`					none		Today
on	1d	-d `date -v-1d +%d/%m/%Y`				none		Consolidate yesterday
on	1d 	-d `date +01/%m/%Y`-`date +31/%m/%Y`			none		This month
	30d	-d `date -v-1m +01/%m/%Y`-`date -v-1m +31/%m/%Y`	rotate		Consolidate last month

But this is not possible because planning more operations with the same frequency produces an error:

Jun 27 00:00:01 	php: sarg.php: The command 'export LC_ALL=C && /usr/pbi/sarg-amd64/bin/sarg -d `date -v-1d +%d/%m/%Y`' returned exit code '1', the output was 'SARG: Cannot create directory /tmp/sarg - File exists'
Jun 27 00:00:00 	php: sarg.php: Sarg: force refresh now with -d `date +01/%m/%Y`-`date +31/%m/%Y` args, compress() and none action after sarg finish.
Jun 27 00:00:00 	php: sarg.php: Sarg: force refresh now with -d `date -v-1d +%d/%m/%Y` args, compress() and none action after sarg finish.

To solve this problem it would seem sufficient to create the directory /tmp/sarg only if it does not exist and every time create a subdirectory with the name of the report to be generated. In any case, any other solution that would enable the simultaneous execution of multiple operations is welcome :D

Obviously, the last operation specified above can not be performed every 30 days, but the 1st day of each month: this is not possible to specify it in the GUI, although CRON could do it. ;)

Thank you.

Potential fix for those experiencing the:

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

Seems there is a bug with Sarg 2.3.6 (which the pfSense package uses) which means you MUST select sites_users and users_sites in the report types, otherwise Sarg fails to run.
See bug here: http://sourceforge.net/p/sarg/bugs/154/

This has been resolved in Sarg 2.4.

Hey guys, I just installed pfSense today and have been trying to get everything set up and am running into some issues with Sarg (and Lightsquid for that matter).

I'm trying to get Sarg and Lightsquid to generate reports from Squid proxy, but for some reason they're both having trouble.

Sarg gives me an error:

[ Sarg config error: squid log file (/var/squid/logs/access.log) does not exists]

and Lightsquid gives me the error:

Error : report folder '/var/lightsquid/report' not contain any valid data! Please run lightparser.pl (and check 'report' folder content)

For Lightsquid, I tried clicking both "Refresh now" and "Refresh full" but still got the same error. For Sarg I checked /var/squid/logs/ and there is only one file - cache.log

Is there something I haven't configured correctly with Squid, or anyone experience and solve these issues in the past? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Please start a new thread for your problem and I'll be happy to take a look. This thread is for a particular Sarge issue.

I'm a newb at this. Forgive me.

Is there a pretty way of exporting logs? If a manager asks for an Internet usage report for certain computer with a date range, how would I do this?

I take it I create a custom Schedule. I want the report to show the Date/Time and website.

You should probably start a new thread instead of hijacking this one that's already 27 pages long.

Hi Gurus
After some investigation I obtaind some type of report

By command line I changed some value and obtain these parameter in the sarg.conf file:

And after run this executable command:

[2.1.3-RELEASE][admin@pfSense.localdomain]/usr/pbi/sarg-amd64/etc/sarg(30): sarg -x

Appear a succesfull response:

But this report appear another problem

This line means in this file means:

print preg_replace($pattern,$replace,$report);

The question is how to resolv this event???

I hope your suggestion / Recomendation

My Sarg doesn't seem to be generating reports anymore since I updated to pfSense 2.1.5, is this expected or do I need to change something? I already changed the conf so that it was pointing to what I think is the correct access.log (or something like that, I forget if that was the exact file name now) and that seems to have fixed an error I was seeing in my system logs, but no reports are being generated anymore, I just see this in the system logs when it is meant to create a report

php: sarg.php: Sarg: force refresh now with args, compress() and none action after sarg finish.

Any ideas what might be wrong?

Looks like Sarg is not working again.
Updated to 2.2 the other day. Sarg is the latest version available in packages (2.3.9 pkg v.0.6.4) and running squid (2.7.9 pkg v.4.3.6)

Attempting to run the Reports gives 'Could not find report index file.' message.
Trying to run Sarg from the CLI gives me 'Cannot set the locale LC_ALL to the environment variable'

Anyone have Sarg working with pf 2.2?

KOM

Doing a quick search for Sarg and picking a result a little more current would have led you to this thread here with a solution.

ck42

Funny that you refer to that thread, KOM. I had actually read through that prior to posting.
I had already tried creating the symlink on my system with no luck. That's why I wanted to know if anyone actually has this working with 2.2…hoping that they would confirm whether or not any special steps needed to be taken to make it work.

marcelloc

I have. I did only the symlink.

Try to run sarg on console to see what erros do you get.

If you install cron package, you can see how I call configured report schedule.

KOM

Cannot set the locale LC_ALL to the environment variable

I saw this on Solaris about 10 years ago. I forget what the fix was. Haven't seen it on 2.2 x64, and I've installed it many, many times. As Mercello said, run sarg or sarg -x from the console and see what it says.
