      Hmm, is that showing the process was started on Sat 22nd Oct? That seems unlikely. Unless it didn't actually reboot. The date/time format isn't what I see from that command. Might just be compressed display output. That does change at reboot I assume?

              I'm in a different time zone.
              It seems to be working now. I have no idea why it didn't work after two reboots. After the third reboot it works!

                Mmm, you see any RRD errors at boot? Anything like:

                Nov 15 14:32:25 	php-cgi 	524 	rc.bootup: The command '/usr/bin/nice -n20 /usr/local/bin/rrdtool update /var/db/rrd/system-sensors.rrd N:U:U:U:U:U' returned exit code '1', the output was 'ERROR: /var/db/rrd/system-sensors.rrd: expected 6 data source readings (got 5) from N' 
                

                Edit: Cross-posted. Good to see!

                      Those are only because it booted in verbose mode. None of that is actually in use. Not a problem.

                          Not really. It looked like the update script was stalled on some sub-process. Whatever it was it got past that and started logging data again.

                              I don't know what is wrong with the pfsense configuration, but the monitoring keeps stopping. It runs for a few days and then stops. For example, now I see that it has stopped since 21.11

                                You see any errors in the logs when it stops?

                                Does the gateway fail when it stops? The WAN reconnect?

                                    Is it all the monitoring data that stops each time? Not just gateway monitoring?

                                    Nothing else in the system log at the time it appears to stop?

                                      @stephenw10 Monitoring stopped again. This time without any restart. Nothing works in monitoring, not just the gateway.

                                        And still nothing in the system log when it happened?

                                          A recording appears in the graphics. Then nothing appears. I run it again, it appears again. Then nothing. Can I run that command in crontab to update the graphs every 1 minute?

                                            You probably could but you definitely shouldn't need to. That script should be running continually anyway:
