[Solved] Ipsec does not log anything

[xofer]

Hi,

I feel completely stupid, but I cannot get ipsec to log anything on a certain opnsense machine. I have turned everything to Raw under VPN->IpSec->Advanced Settings->IPsec Debug and still nothing - /var/log/ipsec.log remains empty.

[Fright]

Hi
opnsense version?
Syslog-ng Daemon status?

I think it was either 20.7.0 or 20.7.1.
Anyway, did an update to 20.7.2 and the stuff started to appear in ipsec.log during the update, even before reboot.
Go figure.

Hard to check after the fact, but i don't think syslog crashing was the issue. Other logs were behaving normally.
