Random shutdowns - No logs

[Mattaton]

I've had one random shutdown last night or early morning and another within the past hour.

Since I've read that unRAID doesn't keep logs after a reboot, I went to the Sylog Server settings and set a location for logs to be save, but I'm evidently missing something as it's not saving any logs there.

 

How do I set things up so that I have a log to look at after one of these shutdowns? Obviously, I need to see what's going on (and probably get some help figuring it out).

 

Thanks!

Read this and see if you have the Syslog Server setup correctly.

I think I was missing putting in the unRAID server IP as the remote server. I read that in another thread on the forum. It's created a log file in the share now. I'll check what you just linked to learn more, though. Thanks!

So, I turned on log rotation. Any particular advantage to either way?

There is Help in the webUI. Clicking the Help (?) icon on the main menu bar will toggle help on/off for the entire webUI. Clicking on the label for a specific setting will toggle help for just that setting.

Well, would you look at that... I would say I learn something new every day with unRAID, but that's an understatement. 😄 When ytou know next to nothing, it's easy to learn SOMETHING. 😄

 

Thanks!
