os-ddclient does not seem to do anything -- Logs empty

[JustMeHere]

I'm trying to switch to the new dynamic DNS client.  I have it installed and configured to use dynu.com.  This was done via the GUI.  However after letting it run for about 12 hours, there were no check attempts according to the GUI status screen.  There was no activity in the logs.

Where can I begin troubleshooting?

Try changing the log level to DEBUG

I am seeing this exact same problem on a fresh new build. I set it up as before and used the old config file which was working on the previous version with no problem. I had logs being written on the previous version no problem but now nothing..

Its as if the process is not even starting.. Tried it on another spare unit running the latest version of opnsense which has exactly the same result.

I installed mine from the command prompt as before.

anyone offer any help please?

Hi there

so I had another play with this and choose to install the gui version - I cant explain but this then seemed to regenerate the ddclient.conf with my details already entered from when I did it manually. I had to add a couple of tweaks but its now working using just the ddclien.conf, my config on the gui screen is still empty which is fine.

I use dynu.com

log file now states 
022-08-21T11:08:14   Notice   ddclient[19461]   26405 - [meta sequenceId="1"] SUCCESS: updating nxxxxxx.dxxxxxx.com: good: IP address set to xx.xx.xx.xx

example of my ddclient.conf which currently works

daemon=300
syslog=yes                  # log update msgs to syslog
pid=/var/run/ddclient.pid   # record PID in file.
ssl=yes


use=cmd, cmd="/usr/local/opnsense/scripts/ddclient/checkip -i pppoe0 -t 0 -s dyndns",
protocol=dyndns2, \
server=api.dynu.com, \
login=xxxxxxxxx@xxxxx.com, \
password=xxxxxxxxxxxx \
yourdomain

looking good so far.
