Pihole working, Web Interface not showing log data

Expected Behaviour:
Web interface will show information on Dashboard and Query Log on brand new install (raspberry pi 4 B, latest raspbian buster).

Actual Behaviour:
Web interface shows no logging information, though if I do tail pihole.log I see that pihole is working. I've done a repair but no change.

Debug Token:

Please post a screen capture showing what you are seeing on your dashboard/GUI, and the output of this command from the Pi terminal. You can post the screen capture directly into a reply.

tail -n25 /var/log/pihole.log



That confirms that Pi-Hole is working, as you noted. Are you running any ad-blockers on the browser that displayed the output? Also, clear the cache in that browser and restart it and reload the page.

No other blockers running. I cleared cache, restarted, and same result. Tried in another browser as well but same.

This information is stored in the long term database - let's check that and your privacy settings. What is the output of these commands from the Pi terminal:

ls -lh /etc/pihole/pihole-FTL.db

cat /etc/pihole/pihole-FTL.conf

Here you go

The dashboard is not showing stats because you told it not to. Privacy level 4 disables all stats processing, etc.

That did it! Thanks very much. This must have been set to 4 by default when installed. Sorry, I'm still familiarizing myself with Pihole so I didn't realize this setting was even there.
