Thanks gspannu, I got the beta installed and it's working much better.

I recently migrated from the "legacy" OpenVPN client configuration to the "instance" one.

I have an existing, working client setup under legacy that it would be nice to be able to migrate, but since the old one was set up with the help of the wizard and includes both the VPN setup, firewall rules and a dedicated interface, I am a bit daunted how to replicate the legacy client in the new Instances setup, without the wizard to guide me.

The documentation I found mentions two examples (site-to-site tunnel and road warrior) but neither fits my scenario. I just need to route traffic from a specific client on my LAN to a tunnel to my VPN provider.

Has anyone found improved documentation to guide them?

So the more files change the larger they get over time.

Thanks, but looking at my list the size goes 903M -> 3.67G -> 1.17G -> 804M in date order from 30/8 to 27/10. That doesn't constitute a constant increase. Is this because updates replace some larger files with smaller ones? I have not made any configuration changes of my own between these snapshots.

I have a series of snapshots going back to 24.7.1. Their sizes vary greatly, and I would like to understand why and if there is anything I can do to influence the size.

I use the AdGuardHome plugin. Normally, I update it via its web interface. At the moment, there is an issue that has been fixed in the latest edge release but not yet released as a stable release. I know that you can update the plugin using the command line and -u, but I assume that only looks for a new stable release. Is there any way to install instead a specific release like the edge release?

Having installed 24.7.2, I can confirm the issue is fixed by this update.

Unfortunately, the fix did not stick. Reporting was recorded for about two hours and then stopped. This is definitely an issue.

Thanks Franco for pointing to Github, great that it is logged.

I am having the same issue.  I was told to reset the RRD data in Report > Settings but that did not work for me.

Thanks for responding. I have reset my RRD data and so far (🤞) it is working. I will monitor and if it should stop collecting, I will post back here.

(I am running on a PCEngines APU2E4, as you can see from my signature. Very happy with the hardware.)

After I upgraded from 24.1.10_8, my Health reporting has stopped working. See screenshot – in this case, the reporting worked for a while after the reboot but then stopped. After the next reboot, the reporting did not even capture anything. This is true of all the reports – the States reporting is just one example.

Also, the end time in the chart (in this case 16:55) never updates – after you have called up the graph the first time, the time remains the same.

Any pointers welcome on ways to track down the issue.

With the updated widget in 24.7.1, is there a way (perhaps by editing the js file) to exclude the temperatures for CPU1, CPU2, etc.? In many cases, they will all be the same so it takes up screen real-estate to show several identical values.

Hmm, it would be beneficial of "bad" widgets show a working close button to get rid of them? At least that's what I thought it would do. :)

Yes...inspecting in Firefox, it seems the section

Code Select Expand

<div class="grid-stack-item size-to-content ui-resizable-autohide" gs-x="2" gs-y="532" gs-w="2" gs-h="307" gs-id="Apcupsd">
<div class="grid-stack-item-content">

was missing something like this, which was present in the other widgets' code:

Code Select Expand

<div id="close-handle-interfacestatistics" class="close-handle">
                        <i class="fa fa-times fa-xs"></i>
                    </div>

...but I would not know why.

For the blank widget to vanish you have to press "Restore default layout", since the name of the widget has been saved inside the config.xml of the firewall.

That worked, thanks. All good now.

Remove both widgets from dashboard and save. Remove manual files created from disk. Add widget. Done.

Thanks, but

The blank widget can be resized and moved but it does not show the normal delete button so I can't get rid of it.

...so how can I remove it? I tried deleting the relevant files from /usr/local/opnsense/www/js/widgets and /usr/local/opnsense/www/js/widgets/Metadata, but that does not get rid of the blank widget and also means that the Apcupsd widget is not an option in the drop-down list for "Add Widget".

I just updated to 24.7.1. Now I have a blank widget where my APC widget used to be. I can then use GUI to add the APCUPSd widget, which shows successfully next to the blank widget, but when I click "Save" the button just shows a spinning wheel and upon refresh I'm back to the single blank widget. The blank widget can be resized and moved but it does not show the normal delete button so I can't get rid of it.

Any suggestions?

The culprit was this line in my case:

Code Select Expand


rows.push([this.translations['t_int_temp'], this.data['status']['ITEMP']['value']]);

Apcupsd status page does not report the ITEMP metric, which leads to js error.
I've simply commented the line out and now the widget works perfectly fine!

Thanks! I had two values that were not in my apcupsd list, so I removed the corresponding lines. Since I also wanted to add the remaining battery percentage, I added a line both to the Apcupsd.js and Apcupsd.xml with that, now it all works!

You can try to determine the culprit in your case by opening dev console

Basic question: can I look at the dev console via SSH, or do I need to use the serial console?

I just went to the Services > Apcupsd > Status page and looked there at what values were available and determined that way which the culprits were.
