Hostwatch - high disk writes

[franco]

These typical UFS issues mainly are from unclean shutdowns regardless of where the corruption occurs.

If you have a process that is writing while the power goes off there will be an error for it. And if the process is writing all the time the chances are pretty high it's going to catch that one.

We're recording the last MAC address for any IPv4 and IPv6 we see. If the MAC changes that's considered a "movement". In some environments this happens very rapidly and thus the service constantly registers the changes.

OK, thanks. This is just for virtual interface setup/teardown? Interesting. The behavior sounds... less than ideal. Not something I (and apparently others) would expect.
(The overall issue reminds me to always control information rate, unless a spew is intended.)

It is freshly installed system (UFS, because of VM's disk is on ZFS) with restored config and updated to 25.7.11. It didn't experience any unclean shutdowns... BTW, I couldn't finalized installation (was stuck at "preparing target system") if I imported config during installation. I had to install Opnsense, configure lan interface and restore config using webgui...

In my opinion, the plugin is useless; it should work like this:
