Firewall Live log doesn't show everything

Hello,
I have a question about the firewall Livelog. Should this really show everything?
I am debugging an OpenVPN Site2Site issue, but I don't see the connection attempts in the live log. Not even when the filter is set to "address", "Src", or "Dst". In the OpenVPN log I see all connection attempts, but why not in the firewall live log?

Thanks!

I _think_ it is the choices in System > Settings > Logging, where some default rules are defaulted to not log as they noisy. Only good to enable when troubleshooting.

Don't forget that logging needs to be enabled for each pass rule as it otherwise won't log.

Loggin has some defaults, but never goes out of its way to log things that a user-based rule catches where logging is disabled.


Cheers,
Franco
