Title: Pf table record count and table-entries limit
Post by: Creator_1995 on December 09, 2021, 11:17:37 am

Recently I noticed the following message in the Backend log file viewer.

Code: [Select]

request pf current overall table record count and table-entries limitThis message is repeated several times every minute.

Can someone please explain to me what is it and how to solve the table-entries limit problem?

When you use the Firewall: Aliases page this gets executed in the backend per page load and apply.

The backend log isn't really for consumption unless you look for a specific issue firsthand.

Franco,

Thank you for your response. So that means this is not a problem?

Yes, not a problem. It's just logging its backend actions message for being able to trace them.

in addition to what @franco said: message has a Notice severity level. so it is not an Error or Warning condition  ;)

And with 22.1 you will be finally able to see and filter for it ;)
