Hi, I have installed a fresh version of 14. 1 and the having issues with the Radius audit logs not populating in the GUI. The logs do populate some of the time but then suddenly stop working. Looking at some log files it appears to be when the

Hi,

I have installed a fresh version of 14.1 and the having issues with the Radius audit logs not populating in the GUI.  The logs do populate some of the time but then suddenly stop working.  Looking at some log files it appears to be when the flush_radius_audit_log job runs into an error and skips the next jobs, here is a snippet of the pfcron.log

pfcron-docker-wrapper[170694]: t=2025-04-08T15:20:17+0100 lvl=info msg="Running flush_radius_audit_log" pid=7
pfcron-docker-wrapper[170694]: t=2025-04-08T15:20:17+0100 lvl=eror msg="flush_radius_audit_log error running: invalid character 'c' after array element" pid=7
pfcron-docker-wrapper[170694]: t=2025-04-08T15:20:17+0100 lvl=eror msg="Job flush_radius_audit_log panic: strings: negative Repeat count" pid=7
pfcron-docker-wrapper[170694]: t=2025-04-08T15:20:27+0100 lvl=info msg=" Skipped flush_radius_audit_log" pid=7
pfcron-docker-wrapper[170694]: t=2025-04-08T15:20:37+0100 lvl=info msg=" Skipped flush_radius_audit_log" pid=7

I can see all the radius logs to be process by running

redis-cli --raw LRANGE RADIUS_AUDIT_LOG 0 -1

Manually running “/usr/local/pf/bin/pfcmd pfcron flush_radius_audit_log” seems to clear the job and add the logs to the Radius audit logs (apart from the ones that are causing the error) until it receives a log that it can’t process and errors again.

Restarting the PF services temporarily fixes the issue

Anyone come across this and know a fix or is a bug in 14.1?  Didn’t have this issue in 13.2

Thanks
Chris
