Monitor pfSense and FreeBSD through Domotz

Now you can Monitor pfSense and FreeBSD through Domotz. pfSense is a firewall/router computer software distribution based on FreeBSD. The open-source pfSense Community Edition (CE) and pfSense Plus are installed on a physical computer or a virtual machine to make a dedicated firewall/router for a network.

Proactively monitor the gateway status as well as ingress/egress statistics. Review the rule configuration, daemon status, and interface status. Monitor the performance of processes and other capabilities offered by pfSense (and a generic FreeBSD script).

How to monitor pfSense and FreeBSD

Monitor your pfSense by using our custom scripts. It will allow you to monitor the pfSense process and the processes running on the FreeBSD server.

The scripts use different methodologies and protocols to access the FreeBSD and pfSense information:

SSH
SNMP
HTTP/HTTPS

Our custom scripts offer a complete set of variables and stats that you can monitor through Domotz:

pfsense.js - this is using SNMP
pfsense_pfinfo.js - this is using HTTP
pfsense_pftop.js - this is using SSH
freebsd_top.js - this is using SSH
freebsd_route.js - this is using SSH

The pfSense and FreeBSD custom scripts are in our examples library. Just customize them to fit your needs.

Monitor FreeBSD system configuration

Review the routes as configured on your FreeBSD system. Reviewing the routes allows you to identify misconfigurations in your system.

Monitor pfSense system performance stats

You can now extract basic and advanced performance metrics from your pfSense system.

You can monitor the top consumers and organize them by Source or Destination.

Or, you can review key statistics out of your pfSense system.

Full network visibility with ready-to-use scripts

Use the pre-configured scripts to monitor and manage network-connected devices, cloud services, and web applications. By using standard network protocols, the scripts will allow you to retrieve valuable data and execute actions on the monitored devices and services.

Build or customize scripts according to your network monitoring needs.

Additionally, you can apply customized alerts on scripts to be notified when a specific event occurs.
