      Hello, I just recently got my SG-1000, last Thursday. It's been running great, no problems. However this one thing I can't wrap my head around. In the WebGUI under System Logs, every tab works fine except the Firewall tab. Under the firewall tab it shows "No logs to display.". Under the wrench I have "Log packets matched from the default block rules in the ruleset" checked and I even did a Reset Log Files but that didn't help. "Disable writing log files to the local disk" is also unchecked. Doing a clog -f /var/log/filter.log shows that it's writing the firewall logs fine to disk but the webgui ain't picking them up?
      [2.4.0-BETA][root@pfsense.router.gtaxl.net]/root: ls -la /var/log/filter.log
      -rw–-----  1 root  wheel  511488 Dec 20 12:32 /var/log/filter.log

      My friend has an SG-1000 and can confirm his shows No logs to display as well.

      I'm aware that the flash storage can wear out due to the amount of writes, and plan on using syslog later on and making a PHP interface on another server to parse the syslog'd files. However, if this is writting firewall logs to disk anyway, why doesn't the webgui display them? I especially like the Summary View. :(

        The log file format used by pfSense 2.4 appears to be slightly different than previous versions, which is causing the log line parser to barf. https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/7026 has been opened.

        Thanks for reporting this.

            It looks like what was happening earlier on 2.4 with https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/6919

            Should hopefully be a similar easy fix.
