My firewall log is getting trimmed

gjaltemba

I set my firewall logging to monitor just one rule. Saved and clear the log. In the gui I see 12 entries of last 50 max. After some time these entries get trimmed even if no new logs arrive. I do not have any filters. What happened to my firewall log entries?

What version of pfSense are you running?

Look in the raw filter log and see what shows up there:

clog /var/log/filter.log

I'd have to double check the code, but there used to be some really spammy types of log meaningless log messages that we filtered out, but I thought we fixed that a while back.

Is that an example log entry that is not showing up in the GUI? Or one that is?

Can you PM me a copy of those log entries with the original IP addresses intact?
