centralized logging at home

send to syslog

use my syslog server on the nas regstore2

  • log center is a syslog storage server

  • activate "log receiving" (port 514, tcp and udp)

  • I needed the older bsd protocol version

unify access points and switches

  • simple activate in controller settings (ui)

windows

  • install nxlog

  • configure to forward event logs

nxlog.conf
# Collecting event log
<Input in>
   Module      im_msvistalog
</Input>

# Converting events to syslog format and sending them out
<Output out>
    Module      om_udp
    Host        regstore2
    Port        514
    Exec        to_syslog_bsd();
</Output>

# Connect input 'in' to output 'out'
<Route 1>
    Path        in => out
</Route>

can be done

not possible

I did not succeed with:

  • my printers (oki/brother)

  • fritzbox (standard firmware)

  • reolink wifi cameras

  • shelly plugs

  • nuki lock

    1. bummer

stopped doing this since the search interface on the synology was too clumsy to be of any help.
