Hi,
I've been having a look around my Opnsense server and was hoping someone could explain what system information quality is showing me.

I've attached an image of what I get.
Thanks

It shows you the packet loss of your WAN connection in percent - in blue and apparently it's zero for the entire duration which is why you do not see a blue line. Zero loss is good.

It shows the delay of your WAN connection in seconds - in light blue and it's consistently between 8 and 9 milliseconds which is also good.

It shows the standard deviation of the delay, that is how much the delay varies over time - in orange, should be as low as possible and actually is for your setup as one can already guess from the nice steady light blue line for the delay itself.

HTH,

Thanks for explaining this, very much appreciated. 🙂

Would you be kind enough to advise 'Where is this graph within OPNsense'?
Which menu item?

This will be shown only if monitoring of the GW is active.

Networking is love. You may hate it, but in the end, you always come back to it.

OPNSense HW
APU2D2 - deceased
N5105 - i226-V | Patriot 2x8G 3200 DDR4 | L 790 512G - VM HA(SOON)
N100   - i226-V | Crucial 16G  4800 DDR5 | S 980 500G - PROD

If I enable Gateway Monitoring: System > Gateways > Configuration > edit WAN Gateway configuration > Uncheck Disable Gateway Monitoring
does this add any noticeable overhead (CPU load) to low-powered firewalls?  (like my ancient APU2D4)
