That would not seem to be the case no

Hi there.
We have had this problem for a long time where our OPNsense firewalls reset anytime they are rebooted. This makes it kinda useless since we can't have that anytime it loses power or anything we need to set it up again. Anyone else having this problem and if so know a fix? Is this some config setting we have turned on by mistake?

Answer no more needed as our company have stopped using OPNSense for a multitude of reasons

Hello, I'm sure everyone has been busy during Christmas and New Year's, but I would very much appreciate an answer from an admin.

Hi there,

If you're using the business version of OPNsense, you can call the /api/opncentral/sync/metrics endpoint. This will provide you with extensive information about memory, CPU usage, disk usage, and much more.

For documentation, visit: https://docs.opnsense.org/development/api/be/OPNBEcore.html

Hi there! Like you, I've been experimenting with the API for a while now, and I initially had no idea how to proceed due to the poorly written/generated documentation.

If the URL of the page you're on includes "/ui/" and doesn't end in ".php," it's actually using their own API for configuration. To discover which API they're using, you can press F12 to open the Network Tab. There, you can observe the different POST methods being called, understand what the payload should look like, and anticipate the response. This process isn't documented anywhere, and often you'll find API calls that aren't listed in their official documentation.

Hi there.

I'm trying to create a "template" for my OPNsense devices. I've noticed that you can download a backup and restore it on a brand new OPNsense using the downloaded file, which works great. However, is this a safe method? Is there a possibility that in the future the configuration files' format might change? Could installing a plugin interfere with the configuration file, or could anything else happen? Or will this method remain the same forever?

Is there a way I can setup High Availability using the API?
