System events in flash
Since logread is only small in size it can be beneficial to write system events to flash. To
do this you need to modify the system config under the system package. Set the options
‘log_file’, ‘log_size’ and ‘log_type’ as below:
root@VA_router:~# uci export system
package system
config system 'main'
option hostname 'VA_router'
option zonename 'UTC'
option timezone 'GMT0'
option conloglevel '8'
option cronloglevel '8'
option time_save_interval_hour '10'
option log_hostname '%serial'
option log_ip '1.1.1.1'
option log_port '514'
option log_file '/root/syslog.messages'
option log_size '400'
option log_type 'file'
The above commands will take effect after a reboot.
root@VA_router:~# cat /root/syslog.messages
Shows all the system events stored in flash.
root@VA_router:~# tail /root/syslog.messages
Shows end of the events stored flash.
root@VA_router:~# tail –f /root/syslog.messages &
Shows the log on an ongoing basis. To stop this option, press ctrl-c.
