Logs

The last lines of the router's logs.

Sub-tabs

• Journal: the systemd journal of one of the router's units, or of all units.

• Files: a log file the router lists in its setting web.log_files. Files are added on the router as root:

  vpn-config-edit set web.log_files /var/log/syslog,/var/log/auth.log
  

Controls

• Unit or File: the log shown.
• Lines: 100, 200, 500 or 1000 of the last lines; the router answers at most 1000 at a time, and reads at most the last MiB of a file.
• Follow: reads the log every 2 seconds and keeps the view at its last line, as tail -f does. Refresh is off meanwhile.
• Refresh: reads the log again. A log is also read when the unit, the file or the number of lines changes.

Older lines stay on the router: journalctl and the files themselves, over SSH or the Shell.
