Dear experts,
my relay https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#details/0FBABB8C7B22CEDDFC849331E8E9E... is shown as "down since more than three days" in Metrics.
The logs on the server however seem to show normal activity:
Nov 10 06:45:35 odin Tor[87753]: Heartbeat: It seems like we are not in the cached consensus. Nov 10 06:45:35 odin Tor[87753]: Heartbeat: Tor's uptime is 12:00 hours, with 59518 circuits open. I've sent 69.19 GB and received 71.95 GB. I've received 24885 connections on IPv4 and 524 on IPv6. I've made 326621 connections with IPv4 and 106790 with IPv6.

What caught my attention is the "seems like we are not in the cached consensus" log statement and also the Platform "Tor 0.4.8.13 on FreeBSD (version is 0.4.8.12 in consensus)" on Metrics While being shown as "down" in Metrics, the stats continue to be updated and config changes like 'MaxAdvertisedBandwidth' are properly reflected in Metrics
Is there some issue with Metrics in conjunction with FreeBSD ? On the OS, the only changes were automated OS updates.
Thanks for your feedback
