States tab missing data

Patch

This needs to be on redmine IMO.

Sound similar to State counters not updating and always show 0/0 since last few updates
But also appears to be more directly in redmine now 2.6.0-DEVELOPMENT - state and byte counters on firewall rules tabs are all 0 zerotext

Seems fixed in Version 2.6.0.a.20210521.0100 !

Anyone on 2.6.0.a.20210521.0100 or later still seeing this, please get into redmine to let them know. On my end, it's all good now.

Issue is back with 2.6.0.a.20210604.0100

All zeroes...

There was a new pf merge unrelated to the old one, so the problem on 2.6.0 snapshots is new and without more debugging we can't say if it has a similar cause or fix to the previous issue. 2.5.2 is OK on the current snapshot, but it's about to get the same pf merge 2.6.0 has so it will likely be affected unless we fix it before the next build.

Not sure what the status of this issue is, but it seems to be an issue fir me, on build 2.6.0.a.20210806.0500

Are there any logs you need me to upload?

jimp

I can't seem to replicate that here on current snapshots on any of my systems, but we did have someone else internally report the same problem yesterday.

Do you have any state data under Diagnostics > States?

If you run pfctl -vvsr do you see counts on rules you expect to be hit?

jimp

Looks like somehow your pfSense PHP module may be out of sync with the kernel and needs reinstalled.

Try this from a shell prompt (console or SSH, not GUI):

pkg upgrade -fy php74-pfSense-module; /etc/rc.php-fpm_restart; /etc/rc.restart_webgui

@jimp Thanks. That helped... however when I go to states it now looks like this, and doesn't show anything if you select anything other than 'All' for interfaces

jimp

ok, that's a different problem. I'm seeing that on systems here as well. Likely a similar cause, a mismatch between kernel and the sources for pfctl or similar, but since that's all in base it's unlikely to have an easy temporary workaround until we fix it in the builds.

Alright, no worries. Thanks again for your help. Did you need me to submit a bug report on redmine?

jimp

No, that's ok. I'm working on one right now since it's easy for us to reproduce, but I'm still gathering some data for it so I know more about when it happens.
