Title: New Dashboard short-comings
Post by: decibel on August 02, 2024, 02:13:42 AM
The new dashboard is missing the widget for network time - any chance of getting this back?

Also, the widget for "Interfaces" cannot be dragged down to fit more interfaces in; other widgets can be dragged bigger.

Otherwise, good work guys.  :)

unfortunately, the new dashboard is extremely disappointing, I don't think there is anything in the new version that will compel me to upgrade.  Worst case scenario, I'll move to pfsense if it becomes a security issue.

Not only the network-time widget, i am missing the UPS-widget too. Hopefully the widgets from the previous version will come back soon...
By the way, a Dyndns-widget would be nice!

At all, the new version made me happy, some annoying glitches are finally gone, which i had with the 24.3.
Such a big changes with the dashboard show me there is a highly active work in progress!
Regarding pfsense, i changed because with the change of their business-model things got mad, long time there were big problems with updates and other things, not to forget the "fiasco" with wireguard, which made the whole thing really unsecure.
I am happy with a firewall which is "made in europe", i feel more comfortable here with OPNsense. I see that american ways of doing software is so different to european way. We need more software like this!

What a fast answer! Now my hopefully not too silly question: How do i get that? I tried via "opnsense-revert -z os-ddclient" (found in another thread, only for different package), but its still the "old" one.
Or do i have to wait for the next release?
Thanks a lot!!!!

**** Interface statistics was better in the old version with all details rather than the current PIE chart.****

Can we have it configurable ? with choose PIE chart or details like in old version ????

I prefer the legacy dashboard widgets. I run a HA setup, so I upgraded my secondary OPNsense box just to give the new version a try but later reverted the same back to v24.1.10_8 after kicking the tires a bit. I'm just not feeling the new dashboard widgets. I'll give v24.7 a bit more time to mature before making the switch.

I can't even get all the widgets to line up to each other. The firewall widget blinks every time it updates which seems out of place.  The CPU widget is, well, busy.  I hope in the future that can be configurable to just show total cpu, or we can get line graphs back like the previous dashboard layout.  Don't mean to pile on, I appreciate the hard work going into this project.

I also find it not useful. The older version of the Interface statistics was better. Hopefully we can get option to customize in future.

In 24.7 I cannot add any additional widgets. It will allow you to see them .. though the list is pretty slim. You cannot actually select one to add it. I am running Windows 11 and the Brave / Chrome browsers are the same.

For example ... I cannot add Live View widget from the list at all. 

Thanks

Disregard, started a proper new thread.
Title: Minor display issue CPU Temp & Mobile Browser<>Desktop Browser resizing
Post by: FredsterNL on August 07, 2024, 11:18:16 AM
Hi,

First of all I'd like to thank the developers with the 24.7 release: Installation was without issues, including the two hotfixes.

I also really like the new dashboard, kudos for that  8)

I noticed a couple of minor things:

- The CPU widget started of with Core 0, and after some stressing the CPU, it displayed the 8 cores (Core 0 to Core 7 of my DEC750). The bars of the individual CPU threads overlap eachother however, making it impossible to see the individual temperatures. Vertical stretching of the widget is limited (By code?)

Suggestion: Instead of the auto expanding/shrinking it is doing now, maybe instead offer the user a choice of 2 widgets:
- A CPU widget that always and only shows CORE 0 temperature
- A second widget that always shows ALL Cores temperatures (With vertical stretch limits removed)


The second thing I noticed for the dashboard is that on my mobile device the dashboard widgets are impossible to navigate (When you try the widgets move and change order), doesn't matter whether I switch to desktop view or mobile view

All not important: Congrats on yet another great release!

Hey,

The temperature thing was changed for 24.7.1 to be shown as is otherwise the chart gets a bit weird.

For mobile you need to lock the dashboard (and save). We're discussing how to make this the default in a later release (and modify lock-related UX).


Cheers,
Franco

Clean installation 24.7

In my case it works fine most of the time but sometimes the widget crashes reducing the size and returning to normal after a short while.

Yes, this stays pinned now in the full format with 24.7.1 onward.

Hi Franco,

They stay pinned now indeed, but here all cores show the core0 temp and the other cores seem to follow core0 exactly
Title: Re: New Dashboard short-comings
Post by: franco on August 09, 2024, 12:00:12 PM
Correct, which is exactly why the whole thing went full-circle. We may just end up adding a setting to crunch and average the temp display. This way the people with different temperature readings can benefit from this as well..


Cheers,
Franco

I'm using 24.10, but I also think a detailed "Interface Statistics" with a table lay-out widget would be a nice addition.

I think this detailed table view should just be another widget.
