      If there is one stored it will show on the dashboard, so looking around for one is unlikely to show anything that isn't displayed in the GUI. That said, they are normally stored in /var/crash though I don't think the 3100 is setup to store crash dumps as it doesn't have swap space configured on the SSD.

      The console would be the most likely place for it to log any relevant crash messages when it happens.

          There aren't any options to control crash dumps, what is possible is on by default. So if you have something connected to the serial console logging the output that should get any relevant messages when it happens.

            @styxl said in SG-3100 Reboots after FW Rule hits 1TB:

            it will take weeks to reach 1TB

            fetch -o /dev/null http://speedtest.belwue.net/1000G
            😊

                      i found the issue, SNORT was crashing and locking up the device, after removing and re-installing the package it works fine now.

                          @stephenw10 not that i can see, i think there was some kind of exception caused by SNORT that used up memory, i realized i hadnt updated my SNORT package in months

                            We've got one at 14 TB.

                                Whenever I had Snort installed on my SG 3100, it would always cause spontaneous reboots no matter what package version I used. Not sure if it was the way I had it configured, but even with basic rule sets, it would still crash. I have since removed it and have no further issues with reboots.
