Go to the Gateway page and uncheck the disable gateway monitoring checkbox.  The next time you have connectivity issues, check the Quality report.

Can you please let me know what logs I should be looking at. Where to find them and what I should be looking at?

I have ordered two intel based NIC's this week. They should be arriving sometime next week.

Connectivity loss is to opnsense and as a result to the internet. Everything between the switch and other connected devices in LAN can ping and see each other.

This opnsense machine is not in an easy spot where I can connect a monitor to it. I was hoping logs would show the issue.
It doesn't come back on its own. Sometimes the issue is overnight and I reset the machine in the morning.

I have enabled gateway monitoring. How/where can I check the quality report? And will this report be saved even though I power cycle the machine?

[Opnsense Machine:]

All,

I am very new to opnsense and have been facing a weird issue over the last few weeks. I loose connectivity to opnsense at random every few days.

My setup is quite simple:
I have a PPPoE connection to a bare metal opnsense machine on the wan interface. A single LAN interface then connects to a Gigabit switch,  when then connects to two wifi AP, NAS and a desktop PC via ethernet.

Full specs below:
Opnsense Machine:
version - 23.1.10_1
AMD ryzen 5 1400 on a A320M motherboard
16GB ram
WAN: RTL8111G onboard PCI
LAN: RTL8111G PCIe network card on a PCIE X1 slot.

Services running: Apart from the normal opnsense services, only

• Adguard home
• CrowdSec - without any configuration

Switch: Tp-link TL-SG108E - 8 port Gigabit network switch

wifi AP: 2 x netgear wax202

Every few days I loose connectivity to the opnsense machine. The system is still turned on and the fans running, however I cannot access the web UI, all devices report there is no internet and cannot access via SSH either.

All devices connected to thee switch are still accessible. I can ping my NAS from any device connected to wifi etc. A reboot fixes the issue.
Its kind of like there issues,  but none of them apply to me.

I have tried doing a fresh install without saving configuration, but the issue still persists.

I need help is looking at the logs to determine where the issue is. Are the logs saved even though I do a hard reset?
Where can I find the logs? so that I can share it here? Any help is greatly appreciated.
