I had my OPNSense box running for quite a while without doing any reboots but because of what happened recently I'm starting to question if my OPNSense or its VLANs or routing itself is malfunctioning. Here's what happened:
I added more VLANs and everything supposed to work, I tripple checked everything and I setup everything correctly but for some reason the newly added VLANs were not pingable by Firewall itself which resulted in 100% package loss, I tested this via Interfaces -> Diagnostics -> Ping. Then when I returned to the dashboard GUI, the new VLANs were not listed among my other old VLANs, at this point I decided to do a reboot and everything started working just fine, I was able to ping the new VLANs and they appeared among the list of all my VLANs.
This got me concerned that there is something wrong with my OPNSense or its VLANs or routing itself. Are there any places or logs I can check to figure out the root cause of why this happened ?
Thanks

If everything came up as expected upon reboot I wouldn't be overly concerned about something being wrong

Are there no places or logs I can check to diagnose the root cause of why this happened ? This is a bit concerning as I thought firewall especially OPNSense would be more stable than that.
Funny how quickly you're able to judge "stability" yet cannot be bothered to familiarize yourself with the GUI to begin with.
System - Log Files is what you're looking for.
