DNSCrypt-Proxy logs no longer show after upgrade to 24.7

[JohnnyBeee]

OPNsense 24.7.4_1-amd64
FreeBSD 14.1-RELEASE-p4
OpenSSL 3.0.15
os-dnscrypt-proxy (misconfigured)   1.15_1

Problem:
Since some time after one of the upgrades from 24.1 to 24.7 (not sure at what pont exactly) the DNSCrypt-Proxy logs no longer show. The GUI just shows "Loading..."

> Logs are created and properly updated in /var/log/dnscrypt-proxy
but no longer show in the Opnsense GUI (Services, dnscrypt-proxy, Log/General, Log/Queries or Log/NX).

>>> System, Firmware, Log File also no longer shows any log entries !!!!
> System, Log Files, xxx shows logs as expected.

I'd be grateful for any suggestion helping me to solve this and see the logs again.

[JohnnyBeee]

Serious? Nobody has even the slightest idea?

I just tried to setup dnscrypt-proxy and have exactly the same issue. I can view logs via CLI but in GUI it only shows Loading...

Same issue :-\

[JohnnyBeee]

Thanks @Comma0280 and @_tribal_

Do you also experience the issue with the firmware log? (System, Firmware, Log File)

[Comma0280]

I don't have any problems with general log files, just with the ones related to dnscrypt-proxy.

Looking at System -> Log Files -> Backend following log seems to be related:

[e60e2445-7fc5-4ad2-9283-7b48a4d2025f] Script action failed with Command '/usr/local/opnsense/scripts/syslog/queryLog.py --limit '20' --offset '0' --filter '' --module 'dnscryptproxy' --filename 'query' --severity 'Emergency,Alert,Critical,Error,Warning,Notice,Informational' --valid_from '1726845155.562'' returned non-zero exit status 1. at Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/opnsense/service/modules/actions/script_output.py", line 76, in execute subprocess.check_call(script_command, env=self.config_environment, shell=True, File "/usr/local/lib/python3.11/subprocess.py", line 413, in check_call raise CalledProcessError(retcode, cmd) subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command '/usr/local/opnsense/scripts/syslog/queryLog.py --limit '20' --offset '0' --filter '' --module 'dnscryptproxy' --filename 'query' --severity 'Emergency,Alert,Critical,Error,Warning,Notice,Informational' --valid_from '1726845155.562'' returned non-zero exit status 1.

Interesting. I don't have problems with general logs either, just with System, Firmware, Log File
And I get a very similar entry in System -> Log Files -> Backend  for this:

[160262b2-cb25-4ff4-8b55-ccc16ab6c450] Script action failed with Command '/usr/local/opnsense/scripts/syslog/queryLog.py --limit '20' --offset '0' --filter '' --module 'core' --filename 'pkg' --severity 'Emergency,Alert,Critical,Error,Warning' --valid_from '1726846215.194'' returned non-zero exit status 1. at Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/opnsense/service/modules/actions/script_output.py", line 76, in execute subprocess.check_call(script_command, env=self.config_environment, shell=True, File "/usr/local/lib/python3.11/subprocess.py", line 413, in check_call raise CalledProcessError(retcode, cmd) subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command '/usr/local/opnsense/scripts/syslog/queryLog.py --limit '20' --offset '0' --filter '' --module 'core' --filename 'pkg' --severity 'Emergency,Alert,Critical,Error,Warning' --valid_from '1726846215.194'' returned non-zero exit status 1.

I have no idea what to make of this though  :(

[Comma0280]

I just checked System -> Firmware -> Log File and this one works fine for me.

Comparing our logs it seems like they're related.

[JohnnyBeee]

In /var/log I found a symlink file that points to the wrong folder (/usr/log/dnscryptproxy/dns-proxy, instead of /usr/log/dns-proxy - see attachment.

I coudn't find a way to delete/recreate/modify this symlink.

Any ideas about this?

[JohnnyBeee]

I have managed to change the symlink named dnscryptproxy to have it point to /usr/log/dnscrypt-proxy and then the error in the backend log is gone but the log GUI says "nothing listed".
When I restart dnscrypt-proxy the symlink is replaced and points to /usr/log/dnscryptproxy/dns-proxy again - and I am back to square one  :-[

[gstyle]

I just installed the DNSCrypt plugin and I have the same problem with the logs

[JohnnyBeee]

Ok, so this issue arises when people install dnscrypt-proxy from scratch and there is no solution?
How does one submit this bug to the developer?

[Comma0280]

I found a similar topic on this forum and solution was to change time range from "Last day" to "No limit" and indeed it works for me, logs are showing.

[_tribal_]

it's not a solution, it's a trick. According to the log it does not separate date, time, event fields -  all text is a single line.

There was a recent submission which probably fits here...
