There was a huge storm here last night and I lost power for around 10 hours. I would really like to check the UnRaid logs to see if my UPS did was it was supposed to with a graceful shutdown etc. When I check the logs they are only available from when the Server was turned back on this morning.

 

Is there somewhere I can access a log history? I have checked the wiki and done a few searches and haven't come up with an answer.

 

Cheers, R

If your server had an unclean shutdown it would have automatically started a parity check on reboot.  Unless you are using a syslog server it won't retain logs.

Thanks for the response @Gragorg. It would be great to have this running for the future, so I have found and enabled the syslog server for the local machine, but not for any remote server as I only have the one. I have also set the log files to be created on the cache drive in Appdata. My only question now is when will I see a log file there? It has been a few hours and no luck.

The log should be there in realtime.  I have not setup a local syslog only remote or mirror to flash.  If you want to test your UPS you could set the shutdown to 1 minute and turn off the breaker. 

Here is a great post for setting up syslog server.
