"Show active flows" on traffic limiter not displaying all traffic?

Dear all

For half a year or so I've been using the limiter feature to shape traffic for inbound (download) and outbound traffic. It seems to work well, but what annoys me is that I cannot see the IP addresses of the outbound matching rules when I tick "Show active flows" in the shaper Status page ui/trafficshaper/service/statistics.

It only shows matching IP's for the download direction, it will not show the IP details for the upload direction even though all the rules are displayed and traffic totals are continuously aggregated next to them. So, my assumption is that matching is working fine, but there's an issue with the report not breaking things down one level down.

Anyone else confirm this?

Cheers

Yes, I have noticed this as well. This bug showing up seems to depend on the actual traffic shaper configuration. I have already filed a report in GitHub about this. Will add it to this post once I have found it.

Edit: https://github.com/opnsense/core/issues/4213

FYI, traffic shaping is probably working fine, it's just a GUI error. You can verify this in a shell session with 'ipfw pipe show', 'ipfw sched show' and 'ipfw queue show'.
In theory there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice there is.
