23.1 Legacy Series / Re: Slower over time
« on: June 21, 2023, 12:13:46 am »
Reason I don't just start over is because this box is 300+ miles away with no IT people there. So I have to prepare the box and send it. The people there can swap cables, but that is the extent of their knowledge.
As far as the state table size, I actually reduced it to 250000 to see if it has an effect. I don't know how to tell if it is full. Best I can tell there are about 1100 entries in there now. I also changed the Firewall Optimization from conservative to normal. It is still ok speed from the last reset about 6 hours ago.
So my questions are, would filling the state table actually cause a slowdown, and what causes the state table to fill up? To my knowledge the site does not have high volume internet usage.
Also why should the state table be an issue at all. The previous box, which had bad SSD sectors, worked fine with the same state table size. The issue with the old box is it gave errors when I tried to do updates, or anything with plugins. I even got an error when trying to get to the shell from the console. But the old box ran fine, just couldn't make any changes to it without an error popping up. Which is why I replaced it.
By the way I have three other sites with similar OPNsense hardware and configurations. They all work fine on the latest release.
