It fills in a missing feature people coming from consumer routers like Fritzbox got used to and frequently demanded: show an overview of all devices in my network.
More useless garbage that we didn't ask for..... Why can't this be a plugin that those folks can install separately and not brick our routers.... I have a 16Gig hostwatch log this morning, lose gui, forced to restart to recover... Definitely not a professional group here....
I don't think that's fair to say as it was a popular request. I believe that it's not a plugin because it's developed by the opnsense team and you can simply disable it. With all that said it probably could have shipped disabled by default.
I manage a few personal firewalls across a few locations and I always read the change log and forums before updating so I knew to look out for this potential issue. Perhaps you should consider doing that in the future.
No, it's completely fair to say. Anything that potentially trades stability for features should not be allowed to be enabled as a default in a mainline release, ever. For that point, no new features should be enabled by default. Bugs happen, I get that, but with 26 around the corner who releases new features on possibly the last release of a given train!
