      So Im having an issue w/ the dashboard, When I log on to the PFS, my dashboard is blank, has the logo on the top and when going into the interfaces I can see them.

      So I think the issue is related to my drive being full… I remember seeing something about the drive being at 100% when the dash board was working.

      Anyway... Is there a way to clear up the logs or database? to free up space… I do not need to save any data, Just wanted to delete some of the data so I can get back into PFSense…

      I think the reason why the drive is full due to a settings I set for logging and recording data from the firewall.

        Hi,

        What about asking your drive, or more precis : the file systems ?
        Enter console - go option 8 and type the max word :

        df
        

        If you can't understand the output of df, post it here, like :

        [2.4.2-RELEASE][admin@pfsense.brit-hotel-fumel.net]/root: df
        Filesystem                  1K-blocks    Used     Avail Capacity  Mounted on
        /dev/ufsid/54ca20c41b3d50b0 298695208 1143932 273655660     0%    /
        devfs                               1       1         0   100%    /dev
        /dev/md0                         3484     180      3028     6%    /var/run
        /usr/local/lib/python2.7    298695208 1143932 273655660     0%    /var/unbound/usr/local/lib/python2.7
        devfs                               1       1         0   100%    /var/dhcpd/dev
        procfs                              4       4         0   100%    /proc
        procfs                              4       4         0   100%    /proc
        

        In my case : close to 0% and 6 % - the 100 % lines are special cases.

        Btw : log files are circular and can't fill up the file system.
        And a pfSense which a huge set op parameters (config) won't use more then a couple of Mega ….

        So, no, if the dashboard isn't showing up, it must be something else.

        No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
        Edit : and where are the logs ??
