Since latest updates, my reporting database stops every night and I have to manually start it again - can not find any errors in the logs to help identify the issue.  Up until the 2.01 update, everything worked as expected ?!?  Anyone else?

I have been successfully running my OPNSense box under Proxmox as a VM - all works well with Zenarmor - but once a week I perform a PBS backup of the VM (using snapshot mode) - and every time the Zenarmor reporting database seems to stop after the backup and needs to be manually restarted ??  Naturally I can schedule a fresh reboot of the VM after the backup, but that seems harsh . . . not sure if there's a way to simply restart Zenarmor or just the reporting database using cron or something ?? 

Any tips welcome!

Not sure these are related - just trying to understand the console output showing netmap_transit messages (see first screenshot) and the lack of data in netflow cache (see screenshot #2) showing ksocket_netflow_vtnetX for various node devices - yet showing no pkts or data ?!?

I've searched around but not found any decent references - any hints welcome!

Just wondering - is there a big difference between a fresh install with recover from previous config backup - versus using option 4 in the console which says "Reset to factory defaults" ??

Thanks in advance -

After update from 24.7.12_4 to 25.1 - I noticed that every time I hit the widget edit/expand button on the dashboard (top right corner) of a widget - I get a new tab in my browser ?? Tested with Chrome & Firefox - is this new?  I don't recall this behavior in 24.7 ?

Greetings, and congratulations on the 25.1 release - looking good!  Only thing I noticed so far after updating a 24.7.12_4 production VM - I noticed that the traffic graph on the dashboard shows a flatline for outbound traffic - inbound seems OK ?!?  Same under Reporting -> Traffic (see attached screenshots)

Any hints ?

Quick question, after new fresh install - I noticed I can't edit the services widget in dashboard to remove the DHCPv6 service which I don't use . . . Is there any trick ??

Cheers and Happy 2025!

Greetings to all!  24.7.1 looking good - but since latest update I noticed that the CPU dashboard widget shows the interrupts as flatline (see attached) - this was not the case before - everything else seems OK ?!?

Anyone else?

Just went to opnsense.org and it says 24.10 ?  Typo or did I miss something??  :o

Great work - have upgraded 3 devices already . . . !!

After update - and enjoying the new dashboard - unfortunately, a major flickering problem found in 24.1 using Firefox 128 / Linux as reported here: https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=41618.0 has nor gone away - in fact it's worse!  Before, only the traffic graph flickered - now CPU, Firewall and TRaffic Graph flickers like crazy after leaving the tab running and coming back to it . . .

Other than that, looks great!  ::)

Just upgraded my baremetal j4125 based device - all seemed well, then I noticed that Zenarmor wasn't working - the Engine fails to start with following error:
"Engine configuration error: Cannot read any worker configuration from workers.map"

Tried to reset Zenarmor to factory defaults - same issue - Next step, try to completely remove and reinstall . . .

Anyone else ??  ??? 

Since the last three versions I have been experiencing a strange effect on the dashboard - running under Firefox 128 and Linux - The Traffic Graph flickers really fast ?!?  :o  I tried to take a short video and attach it here, but the allowed attachment size is way too small  :-\   Even is I clear the cache or refresh the page, it still flickers  ???

I know that 24.7 is right around the corner and the dashboard has been totally reworked, so maybe this is a mute point . . .

I also testing same machine with Chrome and it seems fine - so maybe a Firefox issue . . .

Cheers -

I'm running 24.1.8 for some time now - saw there was 24.1.9 available, but when I check for new updates. it doesn't show anything new . . . but funny enough, I check changelog and see 24.1.9 is there but 24.1.8 is installed ?!? How do I force the update ??

As referenced in a previous thread from Legacy - the same issues persists with 24.1.6 and latest ntopng plugin -

Network discovery appears to not work properly - can only see 8.0.0.0 on all interfaces - and when a scan is performed, nothing shows up - see one error in logs: 24/Apr/2024 10:15:14 [NetworkDiscovery.cpp:968] Error while sending DHCP discovery

NTopng support channels don't help because they say it's a plugin and I should seek help from OPNSense - which in turn says, it's a plugin - check with NTopng, we are not responsible.

Here's the reference to the previous thread in Legacy:
https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=36041.0

I have a small cluster of 5 mixed machines - one of which is running a virtual OPNSense as firewall.  Everything is running fine, but recently I noticed a strange issue which I can't find what's causing it . . . 

When running a script from Proxmox Helper Scripts (https://tteck.github.io/Proxmox/) in the console _Shell - it just seems to hang, nothing happens.  I can Cntl-C back to the prompt, but the script doesn't execute.  Same script works fine with the other 4 nodes

I tried various scripts with the same strange result - after pasting the command and itting enter - nothing happens.

Have since rebooted several times and problem still exists - yet system seems to be running just fine otherwise ?!?

HW is an R86s-G2 device running fine since the last 8 months - and the scripts previously works on this device

Not sure how to troubleshoot short of reinstalling Proxmox fresh on that device ?!?

When using the netdata plugin - it complains "1 Node is below recommend agent version v1.44.0. Please update them to ensure you get the latest security bug fixes."

The plugin is version 1.2_1

Cheers,

After upgrading to latest version 24.1.4 I noticed a strange issue - when I reboot OPNSense - everything starts fine except the dpinger for my wireguard gateway (shown RED under services) - trying to start it manually doesn't work - but if I go to wireguard and disable it and re-enable it - the dpinger works fine.  Strange  ???

Happy Monday!  When I check for new updates, it hands for a very long time showing:

***GOT REQUEST TO CHECK FOR UPDATES***
Currently running OPNsense 23.7.7_3 at Mon Oct 30 10:25:03 CET 2023
Fetching changelog information, please wait... fetch: transfer timed out

I'm using the (default) mirror

Anyone else??

Running latest 23.7.4 as virtualized host under Proxmox (virtio & linux bridges) - all is working fine for some time except the following:

I installed the ntopng plugin and it runs - but I can't seem to perform a network discovery (showing no results) and I can't seem to configure the interfaces from the OPNSesne gui as shown here:  https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/ntopng.html

There is no option to select the interfaces ?!?  Under REDIS I enabled all interfaces but that didn't seem to help . . .

Any hints would be welcome!

Just updated to 23.7.4 - I see the netdata plugin also was updated - but when I go to the webpage I see "Loading latest Netdata UI..." but nothing else ?!?  If I click on "old single node dashboard" it works  . . .  See screenshot

Do I have to change something?!?

Thx in advance,
R.Fox
