Remote Syslog
The Syslog remote logging functionality can be enabled by entering a server IP address.
Server IP Address:
Specifies the IP Address for the remote logs to reside.
Server Port:
Specifies the port on Server IP Address that has the syslog application listening.
Local Log
The local log file is used by all of the GridRouter’s applications and is known as the main log file.
Log Type:
Specifies whether your log file will be stored in a memory circular buffer (“
Circular
“) or in a file
(
File
). If you require that your log persist across reboots, select “
File
“, but constantly writing data could
reduce the life of the onboard flash chip. It is highly recommended that the File log type only be used to
temporarily aid in diagnosing issues.
Log File:
Specifies the path and name of your log file.
Log Size:
Specifies the size of your log in kilobytes. Be careful with the size of the circular buffer as it is
taken from your main memory.
Save Tail of Syslog on Reboot:
Enables the tail end of the syslog to be saved before shutdown. This is
useful for determining the cause of unexpected reboots.
Save Tail Length:
Specifies the number of lines of the syslog to save on shutdown.
Save Tail File:
Specifies the file location to write the tail of syslog.
