Cannot create new Monitoring views

[lkinley]

In Status->Monitoring, I created a new view and then deleted it. Now any attempts to create a new view do not actually create one. It says successful, but the view is not there.

This is on a new install of pfSense 2.4.4-RELEASE-p3

There were a few known issues a while back with creating views, but they have been corrected. (https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/9679 https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/9352 https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/9681)

If you go to an ssh or console shell, what version is your pfSense-Status_Monitoring package? Try pkg info -x pfSense-Status_Monitoring to see.

If it's not 1.7.11, then run pkg update and then pkg upgrade -y pfSense-Status_Monitoring to see if it offers an update for that package.

Thanks, that fixed it! It was on 1.7.7 and it works as expected after upgrading to 1.7.11.

When would these packages update normally? I just check checked an mine was on 1.7.7 as well.

[jimp]

Those wouldn't update unless manually triggered (or if you happen to run pfSense-upgrade manually IIRC), or unless you you updated to 2.4.4-p3 from an earlier version after the package was updated.

Doesn't hurt to check for non-base updates now and then by looking at pkg version -vL=

[johnpoz]

So there is no way to trigger those updates from the gui? Gui checks and says if there overall update, couldn't it tell you that there are base packages to update?

[jimp]

Not at the moment, no. It's possible we just haven't added code to handle that yet, since it's typically a rare situation when we update base packages out of cycle.

no problem - was just curious.. Prob not an issue unless major bug issue anyway - and then only if the user is running into it. Sure if was something major an update would be done like pX to whatever the release is for example. Thanks.
