-===== Method 1 =====
-I think it would be very useful if it would be possible to set log_ip from the webinterface. I have now set it with SSH:
+===== Introduction =====
+Setting up up syslog remote logging server is good for fault finding.
+When logging connect your gargoyle router to the logging server with an Ethernet cable for more reliable results
+===== Client =====
+Setup your gargoyle router as a syslog client by making a SSH connection to the router and then run the following commands.
+NOTE: Change the IP address to your **syslog server**
+==== Set IP server address ====
 <shell>

-But I think that it could be useful for other people.
+If the setting are "log_ip" then all syslog messages get sent to that IP address (where a syslog server should be running).
-If setting log_ip all syslog messages gets sent to that IP address (where a syslog server should be running).
+==== Increase logging Level ====
+Increase the type of message which are sent to the syslog server
-===== Method 2 =====
+<shell>
+uci set system.@system[0].cronloglevel=7
+uci commit
+reboot
+</shell>
+This will make it show everything except debugging messages.
+===== Server =====
+==== OS X ====
-I was able to successfully install syslog-ng3 on Gargoyle TPlink WR1043ND and logging to remote syslog running on my Debian home server.
+For Mavericks 10.9, and probably earlier:
-<shell>
+You need to edit /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.syslogd.plist
-opkg update
-opkg install syslog-ng3
-</shell>
-and missing dependency, syslog-ng won't start without it
-<shell>
+Look for the Sockets key and add a new section for NetworkListener:
-opkg install libdbi
-</shell>
-Configuration: Edit syslog-ng.conf
+<code>
+  <key>Sockets</key>
+  <dict>
+    […]
+    <key>NetworkListener</key>
+    <dict>
+      <key>SockServiceName</key>
+      <string>syslog</string>
+      <key>SockType</key>
+      <string>dgram</string>
+    </dict>
+  </dict>
+</code>
-<shell>
+The easiest way to do this without running afoul of cached preferences is:
-root@Gargoyle:~# cat /etc/syslog-ng.conf
-@version:3.0
-options {
+<code>
-        chain_hostnames(no);
