Unraid 7.1.4

I think it probably froze overnight, but I did note it was quite sluggish the day before. Pushed the power button to try and do a clean shutdown but, did not work. Went and attached a monitor and saw something along the lines of no more processes to terminate on this level (forgot to take a pic). Was not able to type anything either.

Had to hard shutdown and turn it back on which caused it to do a parity check.

I grabbed the diagnostics but, it seems like the syslog only shows after it rebooted. How do I grab the logs from before?

You do not automatically have logs from before the reboot. The syslog in the diagnostics is the RAM copy and only shows what happened since the reboot.   It could be worth enabling the syslog server to get a log that survives a reboot so we can see what happened prior to the reboot. The mirror to flash option is the easiest to set up, but if you are worried about excessive wear on the flash drive you can put your server’s address into the Remote Server field.

Thanks. Does this look right?

Hopefully it doesn't happen again but, if it does 🤞 that there is something useful in the logs.

Not quite - you have just set the server up in listen mode. You need to either set the Mirror to Flash to yes, or the remote server field to you server’s IP address to get it to save to itself. This is described in the syslog server link.
