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
device will be displayed. 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 detailed 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 daemon 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 3.9.

The following example (figure) shows how to send syslog information to a remote
server at 192.168.2.115 on startup.
