Hi all,
since the last update to
OPNsense 19.7.8-amd64
FreeBSD 11.2-RELEASE-p16-HBSD
OpenSSL 1.0.2t 10 Sep 2019
something strange happens every night to my OPNsense system running as VM under XEN. The system isn't accessable neither trough GUI nor via CLI (ssh) in the morning. All other functions seem ok, at least I can access the internet.
I can't find anything in the logs and even a new installation with backup of the configuration shows the same behavior.
I can force this behavior when doing a health check via GUI or with pkg check -sav in a ssh session. Both will let the GUI and CLI die.
What can I do? Where can I look for more information what is going wrong?
Any help is appreciated, since I'm new to OPNSense...
Kind regards
Torsten

Has the system enough memory? Sounds like OOMKill.

Hi Fabian,
thanks for your reply. The system run as domU under XEN with following parameters:
- Intel(R) Xeon(R) E-2136 CPU @ 3.30GHz (2 cores)
- 2 GB RAM
- 40 GB disk (root & 4GB swap)
I can increase the memory, if 2 GB aren't enough.
This morning same thing again. I only could ping the system, but everything else was "frozen". No acceess via GUI / CLI, no Internet connection from the dom0 or LAN clients. Here are the logs from tonight and this morning after the hard "reset" of the domU:

I can't find any hints to the problem in the logs myself and there is no crash report after the restart. Anything else I can provide or debug while doing a health check to reproduce the problem?
Kind regards and merry XMas

Please try it again with 4GB. That is what I use and never crashed.

Hi Fabian,
same result with 4 GB RAM. After "pkg check -sav" the GUI was frozen and ssh connection frozen too. I had a VNC Viewer open to OPNSense with top and i could see about 2.5 GB free RAM during the check.
In the VNC Viewer top still working after the freeze and after stopping top I can execute commands in the shell. Immediately after the exit command, that view is frozen too and the OPNSense menu isn't shown.
Anything I can try, debug,....
Kind regards
Torsten

pkg-check can freeze the system, I don't know why but it has always been this way on certain test hardware, but never VMs I think.
Worth an upstream ticket here maybe: https://github.com/freebsd/pkg
Cheers,
Franco

Hi Franco,
after reading the thread https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=12828.0 (https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=12828.0) about the pppoe, I'm not sure, if really "pkg check" is the reason for my nightly freezes. I can force the described crash with edit / adding point-to-point device https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=15357.0 (https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=15357.0)
Is there any job or service, which runs the check every night?
I will try the workaround mentioned in the other thread, hopefully the nightly freezes stop. Otherwise OPNsense isn't usable...
Kind regards
Torsten

Hi,
have to come back here. The workaround mentioned in the 19.1. thread doesn't prevent my system from freezing. My ISP doesn't drop connection and i haven't got the 'periodic interface reset' in use. So there must be another reason for the nightly freeze.
By further testing I found another command that crashes my system: sysctl -a (report sent via the system after reboot)
Bugs with crahses by sysctl are reported for freebsd. Maybe another process or job uses sysctl during the night... Maybe sysctl is invoked for edit / adding point-to-point devices and so both problems come to the same reason.
Unfortunately I haven't found any solution searching for the bug.
Kind regards
Torsten

The system is still up this morning, everything seems to work in the background (internet access, firewall, unbound, dhcp, ...) and when trying to login, I can type the password. After that I got a little bit more output on my vnc console / ssh as the days before
FreeBSD/amd64 (stargate-fw.cgnf.net) (ttyu0)

After that nothing happens, but I can interrupt with ctrl-C and got back to the login. WebGUI isnt't working at all.
How can I restart the GUI or the CLI process via cron job?
Kind regards

sorry for late reply, as i am in vacancy for the moment.
I face the same issue, but not on a vm, it's a pc-engines apu4d on 4 GB RAM. Fortunatetly, my son "reboots" the machine, if he can't game (on my advise :) )
I thought, it might be a cron-job, as e.g. acme-update or perhaps also the update of ips-signatures. As this behaves today the first time whilst the day, and i remember, that on this time, no job ist running, it would not be the reason.
Even if WUI and CLI is not accessible, the LAN-interface is pingable.
-
i got some time to have a view on my firewall.
1st of all, itried, if it happens too on devel-version 20.1. in Short, yes it does.
i took a look in the logs, where i found, that suricata crashed according of to less swap. i have none and spent one now to the system.
Might it be, that network stack gets in troubles, if suricata crashes?
-
Today I did a lot of tests, starting with LiveCD and fresh install. I think I could narrow down the reason for my crashes, which are not related to suricata (not in use at all) or the update to 19.7.8
The crashes start, when I use VLANs in the new OPNsense domU again - without them, I couldn't force a crash. I'm sure now, that he VLANs are the reason for the nightly crashes too, since I introduced them some days before the update. Here is what i tested and the results for the commands / functions that crashes my domU:
