      Just some minor issue but maybe someone could fix this.

      I have multiple pfSense firewalls (recently updated to latest version) running and using pfelk (https://github.com/pfelk/pfelk) for log analysis. After a restart of pfSense I always have to restart the DNS forwarder by applying the config again (just by pressing save button) so that the "Unbound" logs are being sent to the pfelk. I configured the DNS forwarder as described here https://github.com/pfelk/pfelk/blob/main/install/configuration.md#seven-unbound---optional
      As far as I could see, strangely the query-logs can be seen under the "System logs" even before the restart of the service, so I have no explanation why those wouldn't be forwarded already after the general restart of the appliance.

      Other logs are normally being forwarded after an appliance restart.

      Seems to happen since v2.5.2 or so.
