May 23, 20251 yr Hi there,a few days (weeks?) back my Server crashed - things happen, I didn't really look into it. Today, the Server crashed again, and I have no idea why because I was absent and not really doing anything with it.According to the Parity Check that runs now, the Server restartet 3:25h ago. I'm always a bit at a loss how I could check what may have caused this, I don't understand Logs and the Diagnostics (attached) seem to only have the data from after the reboot?Either way, what is a good general cause to look out for to find the culprit in such a situation?Best Regardslunas-diagnostics-20250523-1958.zip Edited May 23, 20251 yr by CameraRick
May 23, 20251 yr Solution Regular syslog starts over after every boot, enable the syslog server and post that if it crashes again.
May 23, 20251 yr Author Hm, it seems that one is already enabled (at least it looks like it in the screenshot?)In the share "backup", which is set as syslog folder, I don't see anything that resembles Logs tho :(
May 24, 20251 yr You need to fill up the local server IP in the Remote syslog field, see the instructions.
May 24, 20251 yr Author Hm I see, but I don't have a 2nd server to write logs to consistantly. So local logging is not an option? In the end it's just about having logs from before a crash, that should work locally, no?Or would I need to "mirror to flash" then? It's a bit unintuitive that the local logging is logging nothing :/
May 24, 20251 yr just fill the remote syslog server field with the ip of your unraid server, that will send the logs to itself.Edit:127.0.0.1 should work too, but i have not checked it so i cant say with 100% certainty. Would be better as you do not need a connection for it Edited May 24, 20251 yr by Mainfrezzer
May 24, 20251 yr Author Ok, I have it now setup like this (IP is the local one for the server). Anything else? And where do they get saved then?
May 24, 20251 yr 7 minutes ago, CameraRick said:And where do they get saved thenTo the folder you have specified (‘backup’ in your case).
May 24, 20251 yr Author Ah, now a log-file started appearing there :) really confusing, haha :) but then I'm hopefully settled for the next crash, if it happens.Thanks! :)
