      @stephenw10Yes I am running 23.09.1 but I get an error when I try to set the log to 4000 lines. " The following input errors were detected: Number of log entries to show my be between 5 and 2000."

        Hmm, disappointing I thought that change was in 23.09.1. You can still look at the log files directly in /var/log. The system.log file may have rotated but the old logs should be there.

        Or just try to upgrade again and check the logs immediately.

        But running the upgrade from the CLI is a better way to see what's actually failing there if you can.

          @stephenw10 I was finally able to update successfully but now when I reinstall Suricata it won't start. I've deleted the package and downloaded it again. It's showing in the services status but when I click on the start button it just spins but never starts. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

            What did you have to do to get the upgrade to run?

            Check the System and Suricata logs when you try to start the service. If it fails to start there should be an error shown there.

              @stephenw10 I didn't do anything different. I uninstalled Suricata, rebooted and then updated pfSense. I then reinstalled Suricata but when I try to start it it fails. I don't see a log for Suricata, system log show it's installed.

                Suricata logs are in the package:

                    You don't have any instance selected there. Do you have it enabled on any interface?

                      @stephenw10 I assigned the LAN interface and I'm up and running. Thank you Stephen for all the help. As a novice I really appreciate your patience !
