igb128922 is an http.log files that goes back to 7/13/2017.
igb252880 is http.log and alerts.log that goes back only to 5/1/2019.

@bmeeks Yeah, I got bit by the stats log not rotating on some other units. Not sure if this is the same. The Squid cache is 8.7GB as well.

bmeeks

The Suricata log rotation fix was this year I believe, but I don't remember precisely when. One aggravation with the Suricata binary is that not all of the log output options have built-in size limits. So I have to use a separate outside process to try and trim the files. What was happening is that Suricata would continue to write to the old file handle and thus the old file would continue to grow even though a new one was started.

That probably never made a 2.3.X package though....

Make sure you set a total log directory size limit as well as the individual log sizes.

Steve

bmeeks

Yeah, that fix was definitely for pfSense-2.4.x.

I've updated to 2.4.4-p3 but the available packages page is blank:

Try running pkg update see what error it gives.

EDIT: WAN is up. I'm connecting out through the unit right now.

stephenw10

Can the firewall itself connect out? Ping? DNS lookup?

If you're policy routing it may have lost it's default route coming from 2.3.X.

Make sure you have a default gateway set in System > Routing > Gateways rather than set to 'automatic' there.

Using the force command fixed it, though.

stephenw10

Ah, interesting. And it sees packages now?

Stewart

Yes. So far so good. I don't know why it ran out of space while in service but after taking it offline suddenly there is 4.6GB free. Certainly need to clear it out but where did that other space run off to? I wonder...

It would look that way to me at first glance.
