Get Swap Space Failed
-
Any ideas?
I am running snort as a service and I am protecting a dmz
-
Something exhausted the SWAP, which usually means it also exhausted the RAM.
Check the current values for both on the dash.
Check the monitoring graphs to see what was being used.
Check Diag > System Activity to what's using it.

@silence Wild guess, but I was out of swap yesterday and seems like it was caused by this bug: redmine #12095. There's a fix in there.
-
@luckman212, something definitely consumes all my ram but well restart and for now everything normal. I'll let you know if it happens again.

it is impossible to visualize the dash because pfsense stopped working it closed completely 100% offline

You still have CLI access?
Try running:
top -aSHIf it's completely non-responsive it could just be a failed disk.

Sorry I forgot to mention this runs in a virtual machine along with tons of other vm's
-
Ok, so try running
top -aSHat the virtual console. -
@stephenw10, right now it works normal if it fails again run this command.
I normally don't like to play pfsense during business hours -
Ok, did you check the memory usage history in the monitoring graphs?
Or presumably your hypervisor records the VM memory usage too?

As I said, just restart the pfsense vm and everything worked again, then I sleep until work hours are over and I can log in to monitor...
I don't like to touch anything when it's producing $
