      Can you add SMTP Notifications for low disc space ? Recently one package logs eat all my disc space, but PFsense didn't inform me (expect Service Watchdog detected some service stopped - which is just clue, not root cause)

        @CZvacko from memory I don’t think that’s an alert. Probably a good idea though. -> Redmine.pfSense.org.

        You might be able to do something with the cron package to run a custom script…

        Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
        When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.

          Indeed, there isn't an alert but there probably should be. There are a number of feature requests open for it like: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/10467

          Add comments there.

            Which one ?
            Packages that tend to store huge quantities of logs need :
            A big drive.
            Real time baby sitting (no, I'm not joking).
            And they have normally 'log management code' which has to be set up correctly - and then tested ;)

            No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
            Edit : and where are the logs ??

              Isn't it possible to log into Redmine using a netgate account or github account ? I am afraid that I have reached the point where I have over 40 active + 50 inactive personal accounts on the internet and I don't want to create any more. And that's not counting a bunch of other work-related accounts.

                Unfortunately not. The redmine site pre-dates much of the current Netgate infrastructure.
