The past few days had daily crashes and reboots BTW.

23.7 Production Series / Re: Crashes when reconnecting PPPoE repeatedly

Today I had another crash with the same error. 
@franco: any insights on the debug logs yet?

This morning it crashed again (was still on 23.7.7_3) with this well known error:
I've already submitted the full crash log.
Code: [Select]
Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode
cpuid = 1; apic id = 02

And we have a winner. 
After 6 days it finally crashed again.
@franco: I sent a PM regarding the dump files.

Just to also give a quick update: I had no crash on reconnect for the last three days and I don't want to provoke one so as not to change the conditions leading to the crash.
As said, sometimes the crashes happen for several days in a row and sometimes nothing happens for a week.

Installed and waiting for the next crash. Naturally, today's reconnect did not crash.

@Patrick: your explanation seems to be right on the spot.
BTW: like @craig, I use PPPoE with IPv4 and an additional IPv6 /56 prefix.
The FreeBSD bug tracker says that kernels 12.0 - 13.2 (the current OPNsense kernel version) are affected and the main cause is the MPD5 daemon.
There was a lengthy discussion about the same problem in the past, unfortunately it stopped without any final solution besides @schnipp preventing the crash with a modified script of his own.

@Monviech: You are right. I was merely quoting @franco's statement.

Welcome to the club. 
I stayed at 22.7 until recently exactly because of this dreaded crash and reboot on PPPoE reconnect bug. Was running OPNsense for several years without any problem ever. Right after I dared to finally upgrade to 23.7.1 because problem reports ceased to show up, I was promptly hit by this bug I managed so long to avoid.
Reading past reports, I understand that the developers have a hard time fixing this as none of them has an ISP with PPPoE.
Like you, I've sent lots of bug reports lately.
The weird thing is that sometimes my daily PPPoE reconnect by cron is successful for several days in a row while out of the blue it crashes and reboots for the next few days. Naturally, nothing changed in my environment meanwhile.
I found a FreeBSD kernel bug which seems to be the culprit. Not sure though, if OPNsense can do something about it regarding the MPD5 daemon or if we have to patiently wait until this gets fixed upstream.

Development and Code Review / Re: Support SATA Link Power Management - savings of ~1 watt
« on: September 18, 2023, 03:41:42 pm »"A new tunable can be set" == you create a new tunable.
I see. That's one way to read it. As said, I had the impression it should be predefined.
Thanks for clarification.

Thanks, I know that tunables can be added manually. However, https://www.thomas-krenn.com/en/wiki/Activate_SATA_Link_Power_Management_in_OPNsense reads as if this entry should be available as predefined. I was hoping @Werner Fischer could clarify this.

23.7 Production Series / get Telegraf to report available updates?
« on: September 15, 2023, 06:33:34 pm »
Is it possible to get Telegraf to report that there are updates available? I know there is an API for that, but it would be really useful if Telegraf could do this, too.

Sorry to ask: is this option already implemented?
I'm on OPNsense 23.7.1_3-amd64 and don't see it in tunables. The linked TK wiki article reads as if it was introduced in 23.1.9. What gives?

22.1 Legacy Series / Re: Syslog, Graylog, not human readable logs?
« on: September 17, 2022, 11:57:04 pm »OK, I have searched, and I have not seen this issue, I am sure that I am overlooking something (hopefully simple). [...]
My problem is that the logs are not human readable. It seems like there is encoding that is happening and I am not sure how to work it out.
I've stumbled upon this problem recently and this thread was pretty much the only mention I could find. However, it was never really solved. So for future readers, the answer is as simple as somewhat unexpectedly logical:
If you go to System > Settings > Logging/targets and enter Graylog as a new destination, the logging format will be Syslog.
For the Telegraf addon, Enable Graylog Output will use GELF (Graylog Extended Log Format).
Simply create a corresponding input in Graylog and the logs will be very much human readable.
