      I am relatively new to pfsense and everything for the most part has been running smooth. About the same tame every day I had issues with DNS Resolver and SNMP services going down and I would manually have to restart them. I then installed WatchDog and it has been doing a good job of bringing them up but I would like to try to get to the bottom of WHY they are going down. I have attached a picture of what the log shows.

          How do I resolve that?

            After installing pfSense, did you add other functionalities / packages ?
            If so, remove one or more.
            If the errors doesn't pop up anymore, you're on the right track.

            Go to console, option 8 and use commands like
            top
            and
            df
            to check memory and disk usage.

                1. Install more RAM

                2. Use less RAM
