security/acme-client: logfile is scrambled in the GUI

[fraenki]

@fichtner: The logfile looks distorted in the GUI right now. Do you have some advise how I might fix this? :)

[fichtner]

squid has a similar issue. the regex is fixed for BSD, not per daemon.

@fraenki It may be the hardcore solution for your log but you can look at the log viewer of the net/quagga plugin. It gets the log from a configd call as a JSON structure and and passes it through.

[fichtner]

@fraenki you need core commit 11f359c and plugins commit 24ff623. Core commit won't be in the 17.7.1 release, so you can try this. I added the plugin fix to 17.7.1 anyway, it is harmless. "6" was guessed from your screenshot. May be off by one. ;)

I can test opnsense/core@11f359c on top of 17.7.1 if you like me to...

[fichtner]

@Woi all help is welcome:

# opnsense-patch 11f359c

... but I think you know this :)

Cheers,
Franco

Looks nice now 👍

[fichtner]

Thank you, Marco. We'll land this in 17.7.2 then :)

Reporting #243, I stumbled about this bad looking line breaks in the date column, if a long log message exists:

[fichtner]

This can't be fixed. It writes a proper entry per line. It's the header dump that makes this awkward. 😊

We'll change acme.sh's default log level in the next release (#254). This will finally fix this issue :)

[fichtner]

@fraenki nice, thanks!

[StrikerTwo]

Still broken on 17.7.2...

[fichtner]

it's not broken, literal newlines in log messages from the particular service are, er, silly...

[StrikerTwo]

Whatever, it looks broken ;)

[fichtner]

ps: did you reboot? the services don't auto-restart

[StrikerTwo]

Ah, no, I haven't. Will try that tonight.

[fraenki]

@StrikerTwo The fix changes the log setting of acme.sh, that's why it will only fix new log entries. Maybe clear the log and try again.

[StrikerTwo]

Ah, I see. I have rebooted the box and generated some new entries in the LE log and it looks better now. Thanks!
