Hello newbie here. Switching my setup from untangle over to opnlsense.
Wanted to see if there's anything in the pipeline for reporting of networking activity via the GUI or via email
It nice to receive an email of the prior days activity or see it in s GUI format.
Things like total bandwidth, top client, top sites etc

Yes, the best local way is NetFlow / Insight with built-in reporting and a bit of detail search. See screenshot.
We don't have email digests and I haven't heard of plans for this. It's possible to also build this as a plugin so even if the core team doesn't work on this it's open for contribution. :)
Cheers,

Sweet, currently installing this is on a appliance now.
Do we have any instruction on how to do the email notifications via plug in?
You can use monit service for emails for certain system events: https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=5303.0
It's probably not great for aggregating reports. But there are several plugins for exporting system / network data to forward info to a good aggregator that has report functionality:
