I'm a new convert from IPFire and am looking for a way to monitor my Internet connection and possibly show a history. My ISP has a habit of dropping the connection and I would like to know when and for how long it was down. I can then take this information and get a discount on my monthly bill. I looked around OPNSense a bit but couldn't see anything that might do what I need. Is there a plugin that might solve this problem? Or perhaps it's already built into the core product and I don't know how to get to it.
Thanx!

You can try the Monit Plugin and "Ping" as ServiceTest.

The gateway monitoring is perfect for this as it creates a RRD health graph for gateway quality.

Great! I think this is exactly what I wanted.
I just went to System --> Gateways --> Single. Edit a gateway and un-select the "Disable Gatway Monitoring" checkbox. Now I can use the Reporting screen to show statistics on each gateways uptime. :)

How was your experience with the external plugin? Did that work?

I never tried the external plugin. Frankly, soon after I set this up I changed ISPs and kind of forgot about it. ::)
