ntopng not starting

[RobLatour]

I had the community version of ntopng installed some time ago and it was working fine.  However, I hadn't used it in several months and when I went to use it today it didn't work.

I looked at the logs and am seeing this (the topline that starts with 'CLOG' is how it is showing up) - seems corrupted?:

I updated to the latest versions of OPNsense:
OPNsense 22.7.11-amd64
FreeBSD 13.1-RELEASE-p5
OpenSSL 1.1.1s 1 Nov 2022

and tryied restaring the ntopng service.  No love.

Any suggestions on how I can get ntopng working again?

Edit: and I should add the in relation to the line that reads "ntopng requires redis server to be up and running" I checked and according to the dashboard the redis service is running.

I've opened an issue on the ntopng githhub page.

As for "CLOG" preamble I think that the log needs a reset and then this artefact should be gone as 22.x doesn't use it any longer.
