      hi,

      i have a dozen pfsense's systems with multiwan. ONE of them is acting up, and i don't know why ;)

      For whatever reason it does not ALLWAYS generate a 'cancel alarm'.
      Apinger keeps running and it outputs the correct value.

      The log below is a perfect example of what i mean.
      -at 7:54am a succesful flip-flop occurs and all is well
      -at 8:21am a similar situation arrises. GW is removed from routing. After a while gateway comes back online, but alarm is never canceled ==> filter_reload is never called ==> users stuck GW2 until i manually initiate a filter_reload.

      any know how to quickly resolve/debug this issue? Currently i've created a cron to manually run check_reload_status every 15mins, but that should not be needed.

      Kind regards

        forgot to mention what exactly i added to a every-15-minute-cron:

        /etc/rc.filter_configure

        the problem i'm experiencing is happening multiple times / day. i'm not even sure why it is being triggered.
        i've currently set the latency high-set-point to 450 and the packetloss high-set-point to 50.
        RRD shows a max latency of 200 & a max packetloss of 2 … still there have been multiple gateway-down events the last 8h's

        any clues ?

        edit: oh yea, i just noticed the monitor ip WAS 8.8.8.8, i've removed the manual override and it's now monitoring it's actual gateway. Oddly enough i set the monitor ip to 8.8.8.8 on all my site's and there are no issues with it, except on Site Alpha ;)
