Firewall Integration Manual

pfSense Log Export Guide

Follow these step-by-step instructions to export outbound connection logs from your pfSense appliances to run a local Shadow AI discovery audit.

Export Procedure

  1. Log in to your pfSense administrator console dashboard.
  2. Ensure the syslog-ng or ntopng package installer is active under **System** > **Package Manager**.
  3. For syslog-ng: configure log targets to write custom CSV profiles including timestamp, source IP, domain, and sent bytes.
  4. Navigate to Status > System Logs > select Firewall.
  5. Export the logs database records to a file, formatting columns to match our template schema.

Required CSV Format

Our client-side parser reads logs mapped to these values. Column headers can be customized in the audit panel:

timestamp, source_ip, department (optional), destination_domain, bytes_sent

Ready to Scan your pfSense Logs?

Import your CSV file directly. The audit processing runs in the browser, meaning your logs are parsed locally in a sandbox. Zero telemetry is sent to any server.
