Remote Syslog Server Issue

[thering1975]

Hi

 

After i started using NFS Shares via automount on a Mac the syslog server became full pretty quick. So i fired up a VM with the sole purpose of being a Syslog Server only. 

 

My settings have not changed which are as follows:

 

Local Syslog Server Disabled

Remote Syslog server - 192.168.1.202 Port 514

 

For a week this has been running perfectly and the unraid log staying less than 1%. However for some reason today i noticed the UR Dashboard showing log at 10%, taking a look the syslog has started to balloon again.

 

Question is, does the system just Mirror the data from the local syslog to the remote server, or is it meant to only log it on the remote server.?

 

If it is a mirror option only and no way to stop logging locally, i guess i may as well ditch the VM and just run a script which truncates the log periodically?

 

Any pointers would be great

 

The vm has the relevant ports open and reachable from the UR Machine
