Hi,

can you try to run this in a console and paste the output here?

Code: [Select]

/usr/local/opnsense/scripts/netflow/flowd_aggregate.py console
Best regards,

Hi, Tanks For Your Replay

ok, that's not much 

can you try to grep your syslog?

Code: [Select]

clog /var/log/system.log | grep flowd

[AdSchellevis]

It looks like a corruption in your flowd log files, you could remove all collected data and start over.

Code: [Select]

rm /var/log/flowd.log*
rm /var/netflow/*.sqlite

The /var/netflow/ contains the already parsed data (if any), you could first try to keep that one, and if that doesn't work remove those too.

We do need a GUI reset for this, I've recorded this here: https://github.com/opnsense/core/issues/983

flowd_aggregate regularly dies. I had to create a monit task for it to restart and keep it alive.

[fog]

I had to create a monit task for it to restart and keep it alive.

I have the same problem. The flowd_aggregate service stop after 1-7 days.
My working solution: In Services: Monit: Settings create new service:

Enable service checks: checked
Name: flowd_aggregate_monitor
Type: Process
PID file: /var/run/flowd_aggregate.pid
Start: /usr/sbin/service flowd_aggregate start
Stop: /usr/sbin/service flowd_aggregate stop
Tests: Nothing selected
Depends: Nothing selected

If the email settings are correct set under Services: Monit: Settings -> General settings and Alert Settings mails are sent:

Does not exist Service flowd_aggregate_monitor

Thank you, this fixed the no insight data for me.
