[pfSense Support] alerts on WAN failure
Hi, I have a dual WAN setup on a BETA 4 box. I would like to be notified when a WAN connection fails. Is it possible to setup email notification or other? - Raja - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

beta4 doesn't report this, but RC1 is sending some syslog info about the monitor IP: Jun 13 09:33:08 slbd[412]: Service wanpool changed status, reloading filter policy Jun 13 09:33:08 slbd[412]: ICMP poll succeeded for XX.XX.0.1, marking service UP Jun 13 09:33:03 slbd[412]: Service wanpool changed status, reloading filter policy Jun 13 09:33:03 slbd[412]: ICMP poll failed for XX.XX.0.1, marking service DOWN Jun 13 07:58:47 slbd[412]: Service wanpool changed status, reloading filter policy Easiest thing is to send the info to a remote syslogserver that generates the email on this event. Mailnotification from the pfSense itself can't be done without hacking in some smtp support.

I would like to export the syslog messages over RSS, and can submit a patch for this if others are also interested. I would be very thankful if someone can show me how to decipher /var/log/*.log from php.

Sorry for posting without doing my homework. /usr/sbin/clog and /usr/local/www/guiconf.inc:dump_clog() have the whole story. - Raja - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

There are also no unix syslog solutions like for example http://www.kiwisyslog.com/info_syslog.htm if that helps.

Re: [pfSense Support] alerts on WAN failure
It shouldn't be very had if he wants the pfsense machine to do all the work. A simple shell script using grep and msmtp would work. It could be setup in a couple of minutes. Not sure if msmtp is part of the default freebsd but would not be hard to compile at worst. It would be a great way to implement SMTP support from pfsense in general. It is small and simple to use.

It'd be useful if this wasn't done via cron but at the users polling interval. ie the rss feed lived at http(s)://firewallip/rss/system.php (or some such path) and that displayed the rss on the fly with the correct mime type (you could presumably also cache it then if needed to save on CPU). --Bill - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
