Cleaning up old Tunables

Hi everyone

I've recently looked at the list of tunables that I have, and there are 63.  Looking at the documentation on https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/settingsmenu.html#tunables there are a lot less.

Is there a list of the required tunables so that I can delete any old ones left over from inplace upgrades?

thanks

Since a while there are no default tunables in the configuration so theoretically you could delete all of them.

However, depending on what the hardware or software requires you could still have some that you added and want to keep.


Cheers,

If default tunables have been removed from the codebase for some time now, why does my current config still show roughly 60 entries without a delete icon?
Are these considered user-defined tunables that OPNsense simply cannot distinguish from defaults, or is the missing bin icon a UI bug / a sign that they are still treated as system-owned?
