Captiveportal Status – Where can I find this file (what directory)?

[scmaccal]

Greetings,

Where can I find the Captiveportal Status file (what directory)? I'd like to use it for statistical purposes and make sure a backup of it is stored somewhere as I noticed that upon reboot of my psSense device previous days where gone.

Thank you,

Scott

Hello,

Look here /usr/local/www - it's there.

Btw: I use this 'self-made scrpit' that a 'Munin' plugin uses:

#!/usr/local/bin/php -q

require_once("/etc/inc/util.inc");
require_once("/etc/inc/functions.inc");
require_once("/etc/inc/captiveportal.inc");

/* read in captive portal db */
$cpzone ="cpzone"; /* hard code */
$cpdb = captiveportal_read_db();
/* determine number of logged in users */
echo count($cpdb);

?>

to make this  http://www.test-domaine.fr/munin/dyndns.org/brithotelfumel.dyndns.org/index.html#portalusers

Gertjan,

Thank you for the response and sharing your code.

Right now I have a simple click button Captive Portal with defaults configured. Do you happen to know how long a device has before it has to re-authenticate with the CP? I want to make sure I understand the data being collected… Whether the authentication in the log represents a unique one time event or is something that may reoccur again in given amount of time.

Well,

Toy a little bit with the two time-out settings (hard and soft) and you'll understand quickly how they interact.
