moejama Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Logging should be improved, there is no reason for logs to simply be deleted because they are in ram. It doesn't matter if you hard crash and can't get that part of the log, at least knowing something can be helpful and having the sever just delete X days of logs because RAM doesn't make the slightest bit of sense. Logs aren't ONLY for crashes anyway, they should be automatically preserved like on pretty much every other server on the planet. I'm kind of amazed nobody bothered to make the logs persistent all these years later. If you build a windows or linux server, you logs don't just auto-delete, so I expect MOST people are not happy to see that happen and often surprised. This is also a very very easy thing to fix and I'm sure would eliminate X amount of posts asking WHERE DID MY LOGS GO per year. I don't have to diagnose Unraid much, but when I do I'd like my logs to not be wiped out by something as simple as a reboot. That is not necessary, not cool, not right, not proper!

My syslog goes back to Feb 16 when I first implemented it. Quote Link to comment
