nametaken_thisonetoo Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 (edited) 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.

Gragorg Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 (edited) 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. Edited June 10, 2021 by Gragorg 1 Quote Link to comment
nametaken_thisonetoo Posted June 10, 2021 Author Share Posted June 10, 2021 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.

Gragorg Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 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. Quote Link to comment
