Logging broken ?
-
Hello everyone,
I struggle with the logs…
The "Clear Logs" options do not remove anything.
The logs i Download from my pfsense seems to be broken (they all are max log size, and are not "fully readable" it seems i only have a piece written and the rest is "NUL" in notepad++)In the syslog i have a " syslogd: exiting on signal 15" entry
If i remove manually the logs in the terminal, they come back full size
I searched around and found this issue : https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/4393 , but this was two year ago. I am on the 2.3.4-release.
Please find attached some screenshots of my logs
Thank you all for your help
PS: After a reboot i still have the issue

Read this
Send your logs to a syslog server. Don't download them.

thanks for this info biggsy !
So is the " syslogd: exiting on signal 15" entry normal ?

From what I can see in my logs, the "syslogd: exiting on signal 15" is usually associated with a reboot/restart but there may be other circumstances. For example, the old postfix package used to cause a syslogd restart whenever the package config was reloaded.
It's not something I've really worried about though.
