Syslogd keeps using old IP address after interface IP address change
-
Found a small issue in pfsense 2.4.4-RELEASE-p3.
-
Have syslog configured to send log messages using a particular LAN interface
-
Check Diagnostics -> Sockets, you see the IP of that LAN interface there being used by syslogd
-
Reconfigure LAN interface to another IP
-
Check Diagnostics -> Sockets, nothing changed
-
Check your syslog server, you still see loglines with the former IP there (several days after the IP change occured)
-
Go to Status -> System Logs -> Settings, Click "save" there
-
Check Diagnostics -> Sockets again, you see syslogd using the correct IP now
-
Check your syslog server, you see loglines with the correct IP now
-
-
Open a bug report if you have not already: https://redmine.pfsense.org
That does look like syslog should be restarted when the interface is reconfigured.
