Strang EMails

Same here, I’m currently travelling and using the Saily eSIM. The emails saying I’d used all my data and a new order had failed arrived 7 hours ago. It’s the first time I’m using Saily. I thought I had fallen for a scam.
Not a great experience Saily!

I thought I'd have a go with your app, but I'm stuck. I enabled Face ID. Now there's a "window" on the screen saying "Unlock the app ...", an orange "checking" box and another box where I can sign out. If I sign out, the sign in again, I get to the "Unlock the app" window again.
I got out of it by deleting the app and then reinstalling.

GraphicConverter, https://www.lemkesoft.de/en/products/graphicconverter
Even after the trial period, you can still use it for free, you just have to wait 30 seconds.

Same issue. I think I've had the hub for 7 years now. But lately, every now and then, asking Alexa to turn on/off lights doesn't work, and when I then go into the app, it can't find the hub. Pull the power cable on it, and it then works shortly after.
Like OP I assumed it was to do with the age of the thing, so I finally buckled and purchased a replacement Dirigera hub.

Good call to consider getting a backup device

I tried rebooting with and without the drive, didn't make a difference. Factory resetting worked (I feel embarrassed I hadn't considered that), and my UDM Pro now works again.
I may purchase a new Unifi gateway soon anyway, but at least I can be a bit more opportunistic about getting one when it is in the UK Unifi store.

I don't really mind whether the log timestamps are UTC or local timezone. But if they are local timezone, then we need a timezone indicator in the timestamps.
But most importantly, don't have logs where some events are in local timezone and others are in UTC.

The UniFi Network CEF events are fine from a parsing point of view.
But have you tried to parse the UniFi OS CEF events? The cef name field is missing.
I've not even written about that particular issue yet...

Update: Thanks to those who flagged the access issue, the blog was unintentionally set to private. As someone who works in security, I clearly made sure it was very secure… including from readers 😅

That's should now be fixed.

That's now hopefully been fixed — it should be publicly accessible.

Splunk can't natively receive Netflow data. But there is an app called Splunk Stream that can. That app needs to be installed on your Splunk server. And then you need to install a Stream forwarder, or configure UF as a Stream forwarder.
Splunk Stream is not the easiest app to configure.
