If you look around and don't find anything you can look in the System:Firmware:Reporter log and also generate a report from there add your contact info and you can get some help.

For anyone that reads this what had happened is I had just updated adguard home just before and the when the update applied it must have applied dns caching in adguard so all the cacheing was taking place there. I have never had that turned on by an update before I'm positive I didn't check it because I never even looked at the settings, I just updated from the home page.

I was playing around with my bound minimum and maximum ttl when I noticed at some point I wasn't seeing any cache hits even though running dig proved that i am caching I flushed cache and restarted unbound and opnsense but don't see any cached hits accumulating.

I wouldn't know. Im quite a noob when it comes to freebsd. It installs super easy on Ubuntu so I don't know why it's so difficult on freebsd.

Thanks for trying Franco. Do you have any suggestions aside from not installing it. Do you think building it from HardenedBSD - https://github.com/HardenedBSD/hardenedbsd-ports/tree/master/net-mgmt/smokeping would be an option or would the packages and dependencies from that repository screw up my opnsense installation and cause issues when updating opnsense firmware. Also should the maintainer of https://github.com/opnsense/ports/tree/master/net-mgmt/smokeping be notified of the problem with the ports tree so they can possibly get it working.

Am I doing something wrong with the install or the build. Do I have to donload and build some of the packages manually? Here is a record of my console during the install

I tried to build it but its not building properly and doesn't seem to work with the current rrds of opnsense.  When I build it do I use make, gmake, or bmake?
When it builds it doesn't install the Perl modules and can't find smokeping.Pm. Has anyone successfully deployed smokeping this way?

Thanks Franco. I tried installing it  and there was a lot of errors in building.

Hi: Can I install Smokeping directly on Opnsense. I have seen this question in some old forum articles and have seen online one person that had it working on older Opnsese. Since the package for smokeping exists for both FreeBSD - https://www.freshports.org/net-mgmt/smokeping/ and HardenedBSD - https://github.com/HardenedBSD/hardenedbsd-ports/tree/master/net-mgmt/smokeping, I was wondering if there is an easy way to deploy it on OPNsense. I already tried and had issues with dependancies and conflicts with sunnyvally repositories. Has anyone got it to work on newer versions of Opnsense.

Thanks for the replies. I changed my monitor ip to google and cloudflare  which both still had somewhat high delay and still some packet loss to google. I switched to quad9 and my delay has dropped from an average of 33ms with occasional  spikes to 66ms and still some packet loss wsith 8.8.8.8 down to 22ms with occasional spikes to 32ms with no packet loss on quad9. So it looks like its monitoring more accurately now.

Hello: I recently started monitoring my gateway and noticed that I am getting intervals of packet loss. I am running opnsense 25.7.7_4 with adguard home and unbound as my recursive resolver. I am also using zenarmor. I was just wondering if anybody can explain what I am seeing here on the health/quality graph and what could be causing it. As I have never monitored this before I am not sure if this is normal behavior. See attached graph.

After playing around for a while I realized I wrote the scrip file wrong. After correcting that the Monit alert is working fine.

Hello: I am trying to get an email alert when my Opnsense goes on UPS. I followed this tutorial (https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=23071.msg109726#msg109726) and when I check the status in monit it always shows status failed, but my Apcupsd status shows online. I also get the email that says failed but
the status never says Ok. Does anyone have another method that works or is it not working because I"m doing something wrong.

Hello: I replaced one of my computers on the network with a new one. It has the same computer name and user name as the old one. In ISC DHCPv4 I replaced the MAC address of that client with the MAC address of the new nic. The new PC got assigned the IP address expected. Then I noticed some problems with networking and rdp. When I ran a nslookup of the host name it shows the network static assigned network address and the address of another pc on my network. I am using unbound as a recursive server with adguard home. I cannot seem to resolve this problem. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this problem and how to resolve it.
Thanks

Hello I was checking my unbound log files and under warning I keep getting error: read (in tcp initial): Connection reset by peer for 199.180.180.63 port 53. This IP address resolves to r.arin.net. Can anybody explain what might be causing this.
