Database cleanup tasks failing

[elherr]

I’m on 25.11.0 and am seeing the following in librenms.log. Syslog and network cleanups are failing. As a workaround I added cron jobs. Anyone else seeing the same?

Interestingly, manually running the task completes normally.

librenms@libre:~$ php8.3 artisan maintenance:cleanup-syslog
Cleared syslog entries older than 10 days (3667 rows)

This is fixed in 26.1.0.
