[pfSense] polling pfsense status for a combined dashboard

2015-01-27 Thread Wolf Noble
I'm sure this has been asked, but I've not found anything in the few minutes I poked around on the forums/google. I'm looking to pull some metrics from my pfSense firewall to display on a dashboard. I was wondering what my options are for API-esque access, or curl-able graph images with authen

Hi Adam, Thanks for the response. Yeah, I know about SNMP. it's a route I might go, but wanted to see what else was available. Strangely enough, I did actually look on the docs site before posting. but I didn't find the page you referenced. That's why I posted here. Would you mind terribly

Not sure if this is exactly what your asking but I have a dashboard setup for pf logs, I made a reddit post about it a while back: http://www.reddit.com/r/PFSENSE/comments/2rlm8h/pfsense_docker_elk/ I also use nagios (which i was going to try to package in docker as well when I get around to it)

I am also using NRPE (with Icinga). I have Icinga creating the reports which I include elsewhere. The information you get is limited to what Icinga or other NRPE client can pull. - Y On Tue, Jan 27, 2015 at 12:15 PM, James Records wrote: > Not sure if this is exactly what your asking but I have

Forget a dashboard for the moment. A decent API would go a long ways for writing automation tools. I've already recommended to the opnsense guys that they add on an API. If I only knew a bit more about packaging, I'd make my own fork with the tools. ;) -A On Tue, Jan 27, 2015 at 11:15 AM, Mos

Great! That's honestly more what I was hoping to get at/to Is there likely to be an API to interact with pfSense? For my specific use-case, a "simple" authtoken-based metrics API framework would be awesome, but I could see a lot of benefit for automation for a more interactive API. Admittedly,
