[pfSense Support] Why DHCP and portal logs are limited to 65535 octets?

2008-05-16 Thread tiplus
Hello,

in /var/log/ the DHCP and portal auth logs are limited to 65535 octets. So I 
can't read lot connections! Is it possible to bypass the limitation (without 
syslog server) ?

thank you

That's the first I've heard of this.  Can you be more specific - what
does it show?

As I have many connections, I can only see the last DHCP leases of the day. But 
I must be able to visualize the connections up to 1 year.

This is intentional as part of the design of m0n0wall, which pfSense 
inherited.  pfSense uses clog for system logging and all logs are kept 
in a circular format so as not to consume limited disk space available 
to embedded systems.  The work-around for this is to use a remote syslog.

it's also possible to
install syslog-ng which binds to the sync or lan IP,
make syslog bind to just 127.0.0.1,
then make it syslog remote syslog to that new instance of syslog-ng so 
that you can keep full files locally and also remote log again to your 
log server.


search the mailing lists for more details.

Thanks all.

Chris,
I noticed there were two images in this directory. Besides one being a
day newer than the other what is the difference and should I pick one over
the other? Thanks.

  there is a special build of pfSense 1.2 based on  FreeBSD 6.3 
 instead of 6.2. A user in the forum said  that he experiences much 
 less problem with wireless.

 Yeah try this:
 http://cvs.pfsense.org/~sullrich/testing_images/6/FreeBSD_RELENG_6_3/p
 fSense_RELENG_1_2/

 and there is also a thread somewhere on the forum with someone who 
 fixed this adjusting a sysctl, I don't recall the details and don't 
 have time to look for it for at least a couple days. search and you 
 should find it.

not sure, Scott would know. It's probably essentially the same, though
the 500K size diff indicates it's not identical. Use the newer one, I
know it works.

Yeah, use the newest image.   I am simply copying newer images into
the directory similar to how our snapshot server does it.

Oh, you're talking about the log rotation. That wasn't evident to me
from your first message.

Yeah this is normal, you'll need an external syslog server if you want
to retain more logs. This is something we're looking to change in the
future.
