      Hi Everyone,

      I'm trying to upgrade from 2.7.1 to 2.7.2 via the GUI. I am encountering "System update failed!", but no other helpful messages.

      According to https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/troubleshooting/upgrades.html | Upgrade Log: "pfSense-upgrade keeps a log of the last update attempt, which may contain additional useful information. This log is located at /conf/upgrade_log.latest.txt..."

      I'm in Status | System Logs, but I don't see the log file. There is no Upgrade tab, and there is no upgrade_log.txt.

      My question is, where do we find upgrade_log.latest.txt ?

      Thanks in advance.

        /conf/upgrade_log.latest.txt

        ^ right there

        you can either

        a) ssh in

        or;

        b) Diagnostics -> Command Prompt -> Download File

        or;

        c) Diagnostics -> Edit File

        Option b is a good option. Will get a copy on your local system, then open it there.
