24.1 Legacy Series / vnstat plugin outdated: any takers?

« on: July 02, 2024, 02:50:32 pm »

I find the vnstat plugin very useful to follow-up the traffic on my firewall. The plugin itself is working for 95%, but is very outdated. It seems that the plugin maintainer abandoned the project a couple of years ago. I don't know if the maintainer or someone else (at Deciso?) would like to bring an update of the plugin? I would do it myself, but my development knowledge is very limited.

Github:

For instance, the "new" graphics of vnstat would add some visual value to the plugin in OpnSense.

24.1 Legacy Series / VNSTAT: configfile overwritten after reboot [SOLVED]

« on: June 21, 2024, 02:15:23 pm »

Hello,

the vnstat configfile located in /usr/local/etc/vnstat.conf is overwritten after every reboot (or restart of the service). Since the plugin in OpnSense is not using our default date notation (YY-MM-DD and not DD-MM-YY) etc ... I have modified the config file, but how can I keep the modified config after reboot? Changing the .sample file as well didn't help.

If not possible, maybe make the parameters available in the OpnSense GUI?

24.1 Legacy Series / Disable and enable traffic shaper via cron?[SOLVED]

« on: June 19, 2024, 11:27:49 pm »

Hello,

I've noticed that a scheduler for the packet shaper is not available in OpnSense and that there are no plans to implement it. Fine, but is there a possibility to disable and enable the (complete) shaper service via cron? What would the command be?

Probably not "service XXXX stop" and "service XXXX start", since the config is in the FW configfiles?
Other possibilities?

Thanks!
