where are old system logs?

[TheJJJ42]

Hi

My unraid had troubles in the last days:

- all nvme caches and pool drives 'gone',

- all disks greyed out,

- hang,

- disabled data disk,

To check the disk, I rebooted several times (also in other Linux live systems with only the troubled disk connected. Seems to be fine.).

- now rebuilding array from the parity drives.

 

Now I want to check, what was wrong.

But I can´t find the system logs of the last days / week.

Syslog starts over after every reboot, when there are issues you want to save the diags before rebooting.

args! that´s bad.

 

Storing the system log is not that easy, when all the drives are 'gone missing' or the system hangs.

One does not actually remember doing this, when worrying errors occur.

 

I expected that these quite important (and not that big) logs are stored somewhere by default.

 

Seems, that there isn´t a dedicated addon to do this? I would like to store them to the unraid usb drive as well.

Can someone recommend a addon / tool that is good for this job?

cron´d rsync?
