3.9 System Log
If there are any connection problems you may view the system log by selecting the System
Log menu item. Detailed reports from individual applications running in the router will be dis-
played. Use the Save Log button to save the system log to a connected computer. (It will be
saved as a text file with the .log extension.) The Save Report button is used for creating de-
tailed reports. (It will be saved as a text file with the .txt extension. The file will include statistical
data, routing and process tables, system log, and configuration.)
The default length of the system log is 1000 lines. After reaching 1000 lines a new file is
created for storing the system log. After completion of 1000 lines in the second file, the first
file is overwritten with a new file.
The Syslogd program will output the system log. It can be started with two options to modify
its behavior. Option "-S" followed by decimal number sets the maximal number of lines in one
log file. Option "-R" followed by hostname or IP address enables logging to a remote syslog
daemon. (If the remote syslog deamon is Linux OS, there has to be remote logging enabled
(typically running "syslogd -R"). If it’s the Windows OS, there has to be syslog server installed,
e.g. Syslog Watcher). To start syslogd with these options, the "/etc/init.d/syslog" script can
be modified via SSH or lines can be added into Startup Script (accessible in Configuration
section) according to figure 10.
