rdagitz Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 I have an Unraid server that is locking up on a weekly basis. I want to set up a persistent syslog on another Unraid server. (Let's say Unraid1 to Unraid2) I looked at the directions but I'm wondering where would I look on the remote server (Unraid2) to find the syslog for Unraid1? Is it possible to specify a location?

itimpi Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 When you set up the syslog server on unraid2 you specify the location at which the server should store files. Quote Link to comment
rdagitz Posted December 26, 2023 Author Share Posted December 26, 2023 I will look into it but I'm a little unclear. The directions in that link don't say anything about settings needed on the remote server. Am I missing something? Quote Link to comment

rdagitz Posted December 26, 2023 Author Share Posted December 26, 2023 (edited) Okay, I think I understand but I want to be clear. On Unraid1 I need to set the "Remote syslog server" to the IP address of Unraid2. Then on Unraid2 I need to enable "Local syslog server" and then I can specify the share location. Do I have everything set up correctly? Edited December 26, 2023 by rdagitz Quote Link to comment
rdagitz Posted December 26, 2023 Author Share Posted December 26, 2023 So I have set the above settings on the two servers but when I look on Unraid2 I don't see anything. Am I doing something wrong? Quote Link to comment
rdagitz Posted December 27, 2023 Author Share Posted December 27, 2023 (edited) I am still not getting any syslog entries on Uraid2. I here is what I have done. Set Unraid1 "Remote syslog server" to the IP of Unraid2 with UDP 514 Set Unraid2 "Local syslog server" to Enable and set the Local syslog folder to a new share I created called "Logs". (Ignore the entry in the picture above.) This "Logs" share is set to use the cache drive only. I went ahead and port forwarded 514 in Unraid2's network just in case it is needed. Can anyone think of something I am missing? Edited December 27, 2023 by rdagitz Quote Link to comment
Solution JorgeB Posted December 28, 2023 Solution Share Posted December 28, 2023 Just set the remote server IP to be the same as that server's IP, it will log locally to that server. Quote Link to comment
