Squeegees uses the sguil db which gets populated from agents on the snort sensors.  Unless you can run those tcl agents on the pfsense server I don't see how it would get the data it needs.

Hi tbaror,

You can visualize pfSense firewall logs in ELSA. Here's a rough
outline of what you'll need to do:

- Grab the appropriate pf-log-oneline-option patch for your version of
pfSense from here:
http://files.pfsense.org/jimp/patches/

- Apply the patch in pfSense.

- Go to the the pfSense syslog settings, enable the new one-line
option, configure syslog to forward to your Security Onion box, and
restart syslog.

- Go to your Security Onion box

- Add the pfSense parser from here:
http://www.securitygrit.com/2013/03/pfsense-into-elsa.html

- Restart syslog-ng:
sudo service syslog-ng restart
