Hello,
how can I disable Bandwidth Monitoring in Webmin module? After enable it for test on eth0 there isn’t any check for turn off this.
For system Firewall I’m using shorewall.
Thanks
Howdy,
Well, I don’t have shorewall on my test system here – but when I go into Webmin -> Networking -> Bandwidth monitoring, and enable it, it presents a new button labeled “Turn Off Monitoring”.
Are you saying that when you go back into the Bandwidth Monitoring screen, there’s no Turn Off Monitoring button?
If not, what options are displaying there?
-Eric
Hi Eric,
I haven’t the “Turn Off” button. See the screenshot.
Thanks
Okay, first, that has to be the smallest screenshot ever 
But, I can kind of read it… it looks as if Virtualmin thinks bandwidth monitoring is not currently enabled.
Are you certain that it is?
Can you attach two more files:
-
One containing the output of the command: iptables -L -n
-
The other containing the output of running “crontab -l” as root.
Thanks!
-Eric
Hi Eric,
thanks for the reply and sorry for the small screenshot 
. I’m not using Virtualmin
crontab -l
m h dom mon dow command
14 0 * * * /etc/webmin/cron/tempdelete.pl
0 * * * * /etc/webmin/bandwidth/rotate.pl
iptables -L -n

Now, I have find in the /etc/shorewall/ the “start” file added by Webmin:
~# cat /etc/shorewall/start
run_iptables -I INPUT -i eth0 -j LOG --log-prefix BANDWIDTH_IN: --log-level debug
run_iptables -I FORWARD -i eth0 -j LOG --log-prefix BANDWIDTH_IN: --log-level debug
run_iptables -I FORWARD -o eth0 -j LOG --log-prefix BANDWIDTH_OUT: --log-level debug
run_iptables -I OUTPUT -o eth0 -j LOG --log-prefix BANDWIDTH_OUT: --log-level debug
run_iptables -I INPUT -i eth0 -j LOG --log-prefix BANDWIDTH_IN: --log-level debug
So, for disabiling Bandwidth monitor is sufficient delete the “start” file and remove the cron entry ?
Why my installation not have the “Turn Off” button?
Thanks.
Okay, well, it certainly appears as though the monitoring is active.
While we could probably manually disable it by altering the Shorewall start file and cron entries that you mentioned – you might also consider filing a bug report (using the Support button above).
At that point, Jamie can a look and fix the issue, as well as make sure those are really the only steps needed to disable it.
