      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?

                                  Everytime i run

                                  sh ./updaterrd.sh

                                  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:

                                        Mmm, me either. I don't see that anywhere here. Did you already start it manually or add it to some script?

                                          @stephenw10 I haven't added it to cron yet and haven't run updaterrd.sh yet. This morning I deleted everything with .rrd from /var/db/rrd. Then reboot. It still doesn't update.

                                            Clearly something in your install is starting that script incorrectly or the script is getting hung up on something trying to update it. I would have expected clearing the RRD data to remove whatever that might be though.
                                            I'd probably look at reinstalling at this point. At least that would narrow it to a config problem or something specific to your install.
