Hi list,
I recently noticed references to an option called "disablesyslogclog".
However, I can't find any documentation for it.
Is this work in progress or a usable feature?
Since my pfsense installation is running from hard disk, I don't have to
worry about disk space or wearing a flash memory.
However, having complete log files, even if a lot is going on, is very
important to me.
That is why I'd like to switch to a regular logging mechanism where I
can grab the log files from /var/log and save them to a backup disk,
instead of having each log file loop over as soon as it reaches its
maximum size.
Discovering the above-mentioned option, I was hoping that this is now
possible.
Does anybody have any info on this?
I know that I could log to an external syslog server, however, in my
usage scenario, that is out of the question - I don't have the physical
space for a second server on that LAN, I would prefer not to run pfsense
as a virtual machine guest, and I don't believe the WAN connection is
reliable enough for realtime syslogging, that's why I'd prefer to fetch
the logs once a day.
Kind regards,
Stefan
