Hi everyone, I'm on a quest to fine tune the configuration of a few jails I'm running, and one thing I'd like to do is disable periodic jobs that are either undesired and/or redundant for jails, and to get all of the remaining output sent to log files, rather than being delivered by mail...

Hi everyone, I'm wondering if there's a way to send all cron output to syslog by default. I know, of course, you can can use shell redirection into a file, or even pipe a specific command's output to logger, and that'll get it to the appropriate log file according to syslog's configuration… but...

Hi everyone, I'm trying to configure log rotation via newsyslog for ZoneMinder. Problem is that, according to ZoneMinder's recommendation, I need to execute a command upon log rotation, rather than sending a PID a signal, and that command takes an argument. The configuration I have so far...

My board is a Gigabyte MJ11-EC1. That board is known for its incompatibility with ASPM. The solution is to turn off ASPM. On Linux I disable ASPM with the kernel parameter "pcie_aspm=off". On OPNsense I already set the tunable equivalent "hw.pci.enable_aspm = 0". But I can't confirm whether it...

Hi, I have a new FreeBSD 13 installation together with Samba 4 in place. During the boot time, without login and with login status, Samba placed event entries in the console instead only in log files. How can I avoid this behavior?

Hi, A new guy to FreeBSD world here well I could just say to the BSD world :/ So I've installed FreeBSD-13.0-RC1 and I use it since then, I've upgraded it and now I am on RC3, no problem so far. Well of course not everything is setup as I would like yet but I am working on it but before going...

Hi, I am running TrueNAS 12 on my server and had some issues with data corruption recently which caused me to temporarily remove my Intel Optane from my server. After finding out the issues were caused by a broken CPU, I replaced the CPU and wanted to re-include my Intel Optane. But something...

Logfile rotation, which is handled by newsyslog, can be done based on 1) max size of file, 2) at certain time. My questions is: how does it work when both the conditions are specified? I'd expect it'll rotate when any one condition is met. Is that correct? But for example, in my newsyslog.conf...

Hello, I'm on FreeBSD 12, on a SuperMicro JBOD. We had a crash this morning and we found that after the server reboot we had lost all logs. Nothing in /var/crash..... Is there a way to prevent this behaviour? Thank you for your answer Chris

my mistake probably overload system. I configured syslog client (maybe server too). After boot on console in cycle printing "logmsg: pri 2, flags 17, from Device". How I must solve this problem? Thank so much

EHLO, I just wanted to share a small but handy script with the community, as I think more people than me could find it useful! Use Case: You have some dangerous command which could alter your system in a bad way, e.g.: $ pkg upgrade $ portmaster -a $ some_cmd --force --overwrite...

Hi guys I need all of your help, Iam looking for a script for Cron, which can I use for automising the purifing of the DNS-logs in the log folder of my companies freebsd DNS server. Iam new to Freebsd coming from linux so please have some indulgence with me. :)

This one took me quite a while to figure out so hopefully someone will have use of this post. As you are here, you have probably already figured out that your stack traces/error messages are being truncated at 1024 characters/bytes and that the nginx recompile solution out there does not help...
