Expected Behaviour:

[I should still be seeing a large number of blocked domains >= the number when I first installed Pi Hole]

Actual Behaviour:

[Fresh install of Pi Hole on a Raspberry Pi (original version, Raspbian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie), everything went perfectly and the web interface showed around 126k domains being blocked. Woke up this morning, web interface shows 0 domains being blocked. Presumably cron ran overnight and.... something happened?]

Debug Token:

Your gravity list is empty, and there was no cron run last night. Pi-Hole updates gravity Sunday morning at a random time between 0300 and 0500. Your scheduled time is 0435 from your debug log:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1495 Nov 13 13:53 /etc/cron.d/pihole
   35 4   * * 7   root    PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/bin/" pihole updateGravity

However, the fix is typically to rebuild gravity:

pihole -g

It is hard to say what happened to cause this.

Thanks for that. pihole-g did seem to fix the problem. I'll keep an eye on it and see what happens overnight.

If ever there were to be a power outage - does Gravity get refreshed when the Pi / Pi Hole next boots?
Cheers,

No, it is not refreshed from your block lists.
