and see if that issue goes away.
On that specific Firefox install : don't wait forever.
Delete the exception you made for the pfSense cert on that Firefox device.
Access pfSense again, create a new exception, and you'll be fine.Yup, it's all done.

So there is no RRD data shown at all, for any time period?
That makes it look more like it's unable to read the files but I'd expect to see errors logged if that were the case. Possibly there was data and graphs for longer periods before you reset the RRD files?
Can you restore the config into something local to test that?Otherwise you could try force installing the rrdtool pkg. Iy's possible something was damaged there though it appears to be writing them correctly still.

Before the RRD data reset:
- data is available in Status -> RRD Summary
- quality monitoring data/graph is available for past gateways
- no other monitoring data/graphs available; flat line and no values
Sure, I can do that tomorrow to a pfsense VM and see what happens. If I restore a config on a brand new install of pfsense on a VM, how does it know how to map the config interfaces to the virtual interfaces of the VM?
When I take the a backup of the config, do I include RRD data?
What is the command again to force install a pkg in pfsense? I know apt in Debian but don't have experience in FreeBSD.
The only non-official thing I've done with this pfsense install was to install the WireGuard package (by Christian) when it was not yet available in the package repository.

It would be:
pkg install -f rrdtool -
Before re installing : here is something to do :
Together with the rrd files in /var/db/rrd/ you'll find a file called "updaterrd.sh".
The content is pretty straight forward, this is the file that collects the stats, and add them to the rrd files.No need to edit this file, as it gets regenerated when an interface gets added, removed, or a gateway gets added etc.
Use the forum search button, and look for "updaterrd.sh" : you'll find more posts with "no monitoring stats".
Check the date and time of the updaterrd.sh file.
Change some settings on an interface or gateway.
Check that the file was updated. -

So yeah, it looks like it did change as expected. However, when I tried changing the monitor IP of my WAN gateway earlier, the file was not updated. What does that tell us?
-
That the update script is being written out when changes to the gateway are made.
But we already know the rrd file themselves are being updated. So either they are being updated with garbage (or all 0s) or they are not being read correctly.
Did you try re-installing the rrdtools package?

Sorry, I forgot to mention that yes I did try reinstalling the rrdtools package and it didn't really make any difference.
-
Might just be time to re-install then.

Argh, ok. I'm assuming it's better to not include RRD data in the backup, right? Besides, there isn't much data anyway because I had already reset it.
-
Yeah, I would omit it. I very rarely include that data as it makes working with the config file difficult.

I haven't gotten the time yet to reinstall pfsense but when I checked recently the problem seems to have fixed itself. There was no update or anything so I don't know what really happened.
-
Hmm, well that's odd!
It 'feels' like some clock/timestamp issue. Hard to see what though. The data files looked good IIRC.

Yeah, most probably. I'll leave it at this and move on, at least for now. Hopefully, it doesn't come back.
