It's stored in RAM so it's lost with every boot

Easiest way is to set up a user script for the user scripts plugin to save it at array stop.  I'll bang one together later today

If you are running 6.2, it saves the syslog on shut down.  Before 6.2, the Powerdown plugin saves the syslog and/or diagnostics.

Cool. I always thought it was powerdown that added that

To the best of my knowledge, using 6.2, the Powerdown plugin first saves a dated diagnostics to /boot/logs, then a dated syslog to /boot/logs, then an undated zip of that syslog to /boot/logs, then the unRAID shut down process saves an undated syslog.txt to /boot.  The /boot/logs/syslog.zip and /boot/syslog.txt are overwritten each time, and the Powerdown plugin removes all previous diagnostics (something I want to change!), so there's not much growth.

Maybe some of this changed now with the later version? unRaid 6.12.6 1/2024 - user from the future!!!
