"Hotplug event detected for LAN" what is it ?
-
Something new I see in the log today and interestingly it accompanied by "link state changed to UP/DOWN"
What all this mean ?

A hotplug event is physical -- it lost link with whatever is connected to the cable. Typical causes for that are the peer device restarting (like a switch or modem being power cycled), a bad cable, or in some cases a hardware fault in the NIC in the firewall.
There are some rare cases when it can be triggered by software but we haven't seen that happen in quite a while, and when it did happen, it would be constant and caught in a loop that never stopped, not a single event.

Thx @jimp
This is what I am wondering as well.
I think I excluded h/w likelihood, but stuck with next steps (changed the ports and cable)Usually I watch logs very carefully after major upgrade, so not 100% sure but I think it was not there before 2.5.0.
What would you do ?
Maybe something I can run in term to test it out ?

Also it's suspicious to see the same errors on WG interface
