SOLVED: Remote Database not available Webgui not reachable

[amichel]

Hi,
I am using Sensei on my APU box with a remote elasticsearch database. Once I power down the database server I am not able to connect to the Webgui of opnsense as it does not respond anymore. Internet Access and ssh access is still working and once the database is reachable again, logging on to the Webgui is possible.
I just wanted to know it that is an expected behavior and if there is any other workaround on the shell to reach the Gui?

Hi @amichel,

That is not expected behavior. You should access both shell and GUI unless reporting DB. It just depends on Sensei Reporting feature. You can use number 11 on the console to restart all services.

Hi sy,
thank you for your reply.
I tried to reproduce the issue and the gui froze for about two minutes when I clicked on Sensei status report after turning of the database server.
After one or two minutes in that condition I was able to reconnect and all worked as expected.
