pfsense 2.6.0 sshguard @ web gui bug/crash
-
Well you obvuoiusly don't actually need the widget for NTP to work but it's nice to check it that way. I have the NTP widget up here, complete with GPS info, and it's never given trouble.
Try querying ntp at the command line, is there a delay?

@stephenw10 Yeah that is why I use the Widget can just log into the home page and it's there but it is no biggie, I can always check it via CLI. I have actually been looking at GPS modules that plug into the Serial on the Firewall but not sure what is recommended and what isn't.
Only 3 Widgets that are not on the home page now is Services, pfBlockerng & NTP it is behaving itself as we speak.

@stephenw10 Hi Stephenw, I have some more information on the problem, I have found exactly what widget is causing the problem, I have a package called NUT for my UPS I just enabled the widget and the Web Gui is no longer working again it has been fine since disabling the widget.
This can be marked as solved.
Thanks.
Jack.

Ah, nice work.
However that shouldn't cause a problem. How is it configured?
Steve
-
@stephenw10 It is configured over USB.
-
Anything special there? Any errors it shows?
Does the NUT status page ever show problems maybe?
Steve
-
@stephenw10 Actually when going to NUT itself it does not load it causes the gui to crash again.
-
Hmm, what pkg version is it?
Can you show us the NUT config?
-
@stephenw10 It is version 2.7.4_10. When I go to Services -> UPS the Gui then acts up and does not load. I cannot access it all.
-
Something bad in the config file?
The NUT package config is stored there. Hard to see how it could be bad though, I assume iot was working previously? In an older version?
Steve
-
@stephenw10 Has been working fine since updating to 2.6.0. I might just uninstall the package and reinstall it and see if that helps.
-
@stephenw10 Weird the UPS Section is now working.
-
Hmm, anything logged? Like maybe the USB device reconnected?
-
@stephenw10 Nothing logged in System Logs or dmesg, would there be any other logs to look for when it comes to USB ?
-
No it would be shown there. Weird.
Is that battery date correct?!
-
@stephenw10 No, battery is from 2021 but I have noticed the mgmt card I have in the UPS shows the same information, I use NUT on pfSense due to email notifications as I can't get Notifications working on the mgmt card.
-
Hmm, well I guess I would wait until it stops working and then try to query it at the command line where it might show more errors or give obviously bad output.
-
@stephenw10 Yeah, it would help if the logs was to report anything but there are no errors anywhere.
-
@stephenw10 Theres another problem with 2.6.0 I have noticed, WAN Gateway has 6% loss after being online for 30 days or more, have to dis-connect and re-connect the WAN in order to get internet but it is very slow when this happens, rebooting the firewall fixes the problem never had this problem before updating to 2.6.0. Seem to be having nothing but issues with this :/
-
Is the packet loss real? If you run a packet capture on WAN for the monitoring pings do you see pings replies lost?
If reconnecting the WAN does not help but rebooting does perhaps it's something else running on the firewall that is causing the problem. Is CPU or RAM use spiking?
