Hi, I migated an exisitng installation from kea dhcp to dnsmasq a couple of days before. Today I came across these errors in the logs:
2025-07-31T16:56:56Erroropnsense/usr/local/sbin/pluginctl: The command '/usr/local/etc/rc.d/dnsmasq stop' returned exit code '1', the output was 'dnsmasq not running? (check /var/run/dnsmasq.pid).'

How can I find details about them and debug them?
Hello, you can ignore these errors for now.
Its due to a duplication in the start and stop procedures in the scripting. It will be fixed eventually and does not cause any harm right now.
