Remote Syslog

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

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

<shell>

  uci set system.@system[0].log_ip=192.168.254.1
  uci commit
  reboot

</shell>

If the setting are “log_ip” then all syslog messages get sent to that IP address (where a syslog server should be running).

Increase the type of message which are sent to the syslog server

<shell> uci set system.@system[0].conloglevel=7 uci commit reboot </shell>

This will make it show everything except debugging messages.
