syslog and other logs in your diagnostics are not large.

 

What do you get from command line with this?

du -h /var/log

Here is the output (by the way, I have restarted the server since I posted the logs):

Then I bet your /var/log isn't full now is it?

Where are these logs stored? I looked through the Diagnostics, but where on the flash is it, or is this the one on the Tools/system logs page?

/var is a folder in the OS, which is in RAM.

Got it. How can I tell how large the log is? Other than an error message telling me that it's large, is there something I can refer to to see moment to moment the actual size, so that I can keep an eye on it? 

 

Also, judging by the Diagnostics file, what caused it to go up? 

 

Thank you,

The System section on the Dashboard shows how full Log space.
