Title: e-mail Internet usage reports from OPNsense
Post by: chrisb on May 09, 2025, 09:06:31 AM
Hi There,

Newbie to OPNsense - great product.

I need to produce e-mailed Internet usage reports.

I see referrals to Monit - no idea howto, I can't find examples to use, never used Monit.
Am I trying to use the wrong product?

Thank you

Monit usage: you need to find the way to do what you need from various sources. There is no comprehensive manual for it here because the plugin is to ease the management of it by providing a UI to it. Contents of it, you need to source.
Usage reports: I suggest you focus your search on this. There are no aggregators in OPN for usage. There is vnstat but that is for interfaces and does not break out usage any lower than interface/time. You might need to do your own combination or more likely, ship data and process it externally. IMHO.
