LABEL DESCRIPTION
Enable Syslog
Server Select this to have the NAS accept syslog logs from syslog clients. Clear it to
stop the NAS from accepting syslog logs from syslog clients.
Log Location Click View Files to browse to where you want to store the syslog logs on the
NAS.
Shares Select the share in which to store the syslog logs.
Path Use this if you want to further specify a folder within the share. This field
displays the share folder’s path. Type the location of the folder using forward
slashes as branch separators or use
Browse to find or create a folder on the
NAS.
After you click Apply in the Syslog Server screen the NAS creates a folder
for the current month’s logs. The folder’s name uses the year and month in
YYYYMM format.
Purge Policy Select Enable Purge Policy and set a number of months in the Log
Deletion Interval field that displays to have the NAS delete the syslog
messages after keeping them for the specified period of time.
Regardless of how you set the purge policy, to save hard disk space the NAS
archives the syslog logs in a .tgz file on the second day of each month and
deletes the original folder and syslog files. The NAS creates a new folder for
the syslog logs it receives after that. You can use a zip program such as 7-zip
to open the archives.
