Wanted to do this every now and then since people were not
familiar with clog but never got around to do it. Now that
clog is gone it's easier to do so let's write a few lines
and extend as necessary. :)
It looks like `tail -f' doesn't watch the symlink and instead
tails the target file which makes nightly rotation invisible
and the log starts stalling so it means for any readers of
latest.log it shouldn't be a persistent read.
PR: https://github.com/opnsense/core/issues/4993
remove all remnants from syslogd and circular log support excluding support from the log readers. When a user upgrades and was using clog, the old files remain and are still readable from the ui, new entries are generated into our syslog-ng directory structure.
for https://github.com/opnsense/core/issues/5337
o Only modify default sysctls when default is known
o Let user know a default is not available for tunable
o Parse system descripton and type and show in GUI
opnsense-update can read the upgrade hint itself. We may have
to stash an ABI in there to reach to a different location without
the need to publish a symbolic link.
Move the firmware message to a data location for cleanliness.
o Remove revoked business fingerprints that were never used
o Revoke fingerprint for 21.1 as it is no longer needed
o Remove upgrade hint file to avoid development version upgrade loops
o Create a persistent directory to feed the unbound includes
o Move runtime data to /tmp directory
After reboot we use the old persistent list still available.
I am not sure if it's clear enough that the blacklists cannot
auto-update and therefore require a cron job or manual update
from the respective GUI page ("apply" essentially is "download
and apply").
An idea from the last refactoring: create a database directory
that holds the defaults as portable files with the ability to
invoke other user-created melodies as well as override the default
using ".local" suffix.
Although likely hardly used, we can keep both with minimal effort and ditch some legacy code while here. The help text is kept as is to prevent translation issues, but moved to a dialog to keep the tab cleaner.
