No Live View of firewall log

[JeroenS]

I am trying to setup a new VPN connecting and want to see how the firewall is behaving in de log.

However the webinterface is showing me nothing eventhough I have rules enabled to be logged.

In the Backend log I get these errors when i try to view the logs.

Curious.... So, I still have no live-view logs.... Seeing this post gave me hope...
