How to use

Edit the interfaces array at the top of pfsense-dashboard.awk to have the names of the network interfaces you want to monitor, including any bridge interfaces.
Edit the services array at the top of pfsense-dashboard.awk to have the names and process names of the services you want to monitor.

Copy pfsense-dashboard.awk to your router.

scp ./pfsense-dashboard.awk root@router:/usr/local/bin/

Run pfsense-dashboard.awk over ssh.
```
ssh root@router 'pfsense-dashboard.awk'
```

The script requires awk and perl. These are present on a default install.

You need to run the script as root if you want to have it show the firewall logs, since the firewall log file is owned by root:wheel by default. If you don't need the firewall logs, remove that part of the script, and run it as any limited user with shell access instead.
