System Log WAN errors on boot

[bunchofreeds]

Hi,

I'm seeing this set of errors in the System>General logs on a reboot.
My connectivity seems fine however

Just wondering what they are about as I hate seeing errors
I've recently applied some fixes regarding a WAN DHCP lease renewal issue, but pretty sure these were showing before that.

These are diagnostic messages feed through the canonical "log_error" function. Since 22.1 they actually show up as "errors" in syslog with the extended format but in truth they need to be lowered in severity since they are not real errors (and have existed for ages).

Thanks again for your help here @franco.

I will duly ignore these :)

Still have these in my TODO, hopefully in 23.1 they will have reasonable severity levels (probably "notice").


Cheers,
Franco
