Syslog service in pfSense v2.8.1 often stop itself
-
Dear All,
After upgraded from pfSense from v2.8.0 to v2.8.1, I've noticed that syslog service often stop itself and need to start manually each time it stop. This issue never happen in pfSense v2.8.0.
Status from pfSense GUI
Status from monitoring system

And what do the system logs show on pfSense itself, not on the monitoring system? -
@sokeada I saw this also on our system, but still no idea what cause the stop.

@w0w looks like no much detail in log. The top one is when syslog stop and the second one is after I clicked start syslog service manually.

@sokeada
we enabled remote logging to our syslog server and maybe this is the issue if the server is not available.This can explain why we saw this only after reboot (so far).

@slu yeah and it happened to me second times already since I upgraded to v2.8.1 from the first day of v2.8.1 released.

This is make sense, I enabled remote logging as well.

Maybe an admin can combine these threads. I think we are seeing the same issue.

That explain also why my other boxes without remote logging doesn't hit this issue.

Hello Everyone,
I have exactly the same issue only with pfsense 2.8.1 ( 2.8.0 is okay) with the same logs :"sendto: Connection refused " on the syslogd process and the service stopped after that ( i think)
The remote logging is enabled.
I hope we'll be a patch :-)
Best Regards.
