Description

On SG-3100 (and likely others), the GUI firewall log is empty. The contents of /var/log/filter.log appear correct, but no entries are parsed and shown in the GUI. Additionally, filterparser.php produces no output. Thus it's likely a problem parsing the log and not a problem with the GUI page.

Might have some relation to #9411, but still happens on systems that appear to have valid/properly formatted log files.

Added by Jim Pingle about 2 years ago

Fix empty log files in the GUI. Fixes #9415

Two ways they were empty that I found:
  • filterlog log entries now have a pid after the process
  • CARP/VRRP entries did not set a source and so were not logged

While here, add CARP details to proto field of GUI log view.
