pfsense crashes lately - how can i analyze logs?

My pfsense lately it crashes. I have all crash logs. Is there any guide on how i can analyse the crash report?

Check the panic and the backtrace.
Check redmine for existing reports.
Or paste them here so others can check-over it.

Locate the Crash Report:
Crash reports are typically stored in the /var/log/messages file. You can access this file using a console or SSH connection to your pfSense firewall.
If your pfSense is configured to generate crash dumps, these will be stored in the /var/crash directory.Gather Additional Information:
Review other system logs like /var/log/kern.log and /var/log/messages for related error messages or warnings.
Monitor network traffic to identify any unusual patterns or spikes that might have contributed to the crash.
Check hardware monitoring tools to ensure that your system's CPU, memory, and storage are operating within normal parameters. -
If there is a crash report generated after a kernel panic it should be presented as an alert on the pfSense dashboard. Or it can be accessed in /var/crash.
