Hello,
I accidently or curiously set the alerts view to 5000 in the alerts tab in OPNsense 25.1.1 and now its been hung on “processing request”, does anyone know how to reset it back to 7 alerts per page?
This forum is dedicated to the Suricata binary (used on many different platforms) and is run by the upstream developers. Questions about using Suricata on OPNsense need to be directed to the OPNsense forum located here: https://opnsense.org/.
Suricata as used on both OPNsense and pfSense consists of two parts: a binary component that runs to actually inspect traffic against the enabled rules and a PHP component that provides the GUI used for configuration and to view logs and such. Your problem with logs display is a GUI issue related to PHP’s limited available memory and its limitations with opening, formatting, and displaying large blocks of text. The GUI code is written and maintained by the *sense developers (OPNsense or pfSense), not the upstream Suricata binary team.
You will find a dedicated IPS/IDS sub-forum at the link provided above where other OPNsense users (or the OPNsense developers) can answer your questions related to using Suricata on OPNsense.
