Logs not updating on 23.01

[jjstecchino]

Logs are not getting logged after update from 22.05 to 23.01

I have a syslog instance running

ps -ax | grep syslogd
85310  -  Ss     0:00.10 /usr/sbin/syslogd -s -c -c -l /var/dhcpd/var/run/log -
55116  0  S+     0:00.00 grep syslogd

if I click settings on the log screen I get a php error:

Would you post the config.xml section <syslog>?

[jjstecchino]

@marcosm
The syslog section of my config.xml is empty:
<syslog></syslog>

[jjstecchino]

@marcosm

And it shouldn't be as my other firewall has this:
<syslog>
<filterdescriptions>1</filterdescriptions>
<nentries>500</nentries>
<logcompressiontype>bzip2</logcompressiontype>
<format>rfc3164</format>
<rotatecount></rotatecount>
<sourceip>lan</sourceip>
<ipproto>ipv4</ipproto>
<logall></logall>
<logconfigchanges>enabled</logconfigchanges>
</syslog>

This firewall was a straight upgrade from new install 2.6 -> plus 22.01 -> plus 22.05 -> plus 23.01.

Logs were working up to 22.05

@marcosm

Ok, I restored the syslog section from the working firewall to the non workin one and now all is ok.

I wonder why the syslog session was lost during upgrade.

Thank you - I submitted a fix for it:
