Title: no States counter in Firewall Rules
Post by: sharkbitz on December 01, 2017, 03:48:53 am

I have recently been trying out OPNsense, and it's coming along nicely.

I have 1 major request.  I find it very useful to have the traffic counters in the States column in firewall rules as it is currently in pfsense.  Was there an intentional reason for not having this?  Also the drag and drop is nice, but certainly not a deal breaker.

Thanks

Hi sharkbitz,

It may have been added after forking. Is this a statistic that you can find under Firewall: Diagnostics: pfInfo in the Rules tab?


Cheers,
Franco

As i run both systems, I could have a look at it.

It seems that in pfs the statistical data available in OPNsense under Firewall/Diagnostics/pfInfo is shown in the list of Firewal/Rules:

• The second column in the firewall rules table is named "States" and permanently shows "[States]/[Bytes in KiB]".
• Hovering over the value shows "States detail" - all statistical data in a small automatic overlay.
• The value is a link leading to the list of States.

This is a nice feature, as one can quickly check if a rule is checked and applied. Something similar would be very nice to have too. ;-)
