Title: Sensei domain name resolution blocking
Post by: cgwork on January 07, 2019, 02:27:24 pm
I'm not sure if this can be done in sensei or if this is an opnsense matter... but as of late i'm getting a lots of Domain Name Resolution Session logged and i was wondering if we can stop them from logging with out breaking the current flow. Thank you for the help

Hi @cgwork,

For the sake of clarity: By "logging", do you mean Sensei session logs?

If you're viewing the reports and your viewing criteria is "Sessions", that's normal. Modern browsers do pre-queries for mostly used domains and the ones that you have in your bookmarks. This is why you see some many dns requests.

You can however view the reports "Volume" wise, if you want to see how your network is utilized with regard to "bandwidth" utilization. For this just select "Volume" on the right hand corner of the reports page.

pS: You can use the main Sensei thread to ask questions and follow the discussion. We're not always able to keep track of other threads in the forum, but we make sure that we're keeping up with the main thread:

Good Morning, mb

Please see the attachment, i just wanted to know if we can block the Network Management  not to show Domain Name Resolution messages as this are currently not  relevant at the moment.

Hi @cgwork,

Now I see: you want to hide some traffic in the reports. That'd be a nice feature. We're adding it to the roadmap.
