Pfsense sending tens of thousands of notifications a day

Looks like this: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/14031
Are you running 2.6?
-
@stephenw10 I sure am.
Thanks for this! Thing even got me listed on Spamhaus!
-
Anyone know how to add a patch from Redmine? The post states to but I've never done it before and it isn't explained.
@stephenw10 are you aware?
-
@Armstrong
Install the System_Patches package.
There you can enter the patch ID or URL. -
@viragomann Thanks, that doesn't work unfortunately, the "Apply" button never appears.
-
@Armstrong
After entering the ID c5faa351c1ef6d4555478a7f50b3a16ece7e0b2a and a description, I can save it.
Then I get a fetch button.This doesn't work on your installation?
-
@viragomann Yes I get a fetch button but no Apply button, and the patch isn't applied when I verify the file itself. Is this normal behaviour?
-
@viragomann OK doesn't seem like normal behaviour. If I debug I get the following:
Patch does not apply cleanly (detail)
Patch does not revert cleanly (detail)Patching file usr/local/bin/notify_monitor.php using Plan A...
Hunk #1 failed at 20.
1 out of 1 hunks failed while patching usr/local/bin/notify_monitor.php -
@Armstrong
Yes, I get the same.
Obviously the patch is now for 2.7. -
@viragomann Thanks.
Who needs reliability in production anyway! Guess I will wait for 2.7 to resolve this if the patch isn't even available any more.
-
Hmm, curious. Digging....
-
Ah, it's because it's a patch against 23.01. It's in the recommended patch list there.
It's in 23.05 and 2.7-beta so you can upgrade to either of those now. Otherwise 2.7 is not far off.
-
@stephenw10 Thanks for that, appreciate your time.
I assume I can also achieve something of the same effect by simply disabling the NUT notifications?
When is 2.7 due?
-
Simply reducing the notifications will certainly help.
2.7 is in Beta and it's looking good. So unless something show stopping is found I would anticipate 'weeks'. Hard to be more accurate than that.
