Internet router logs missing

4.5

The system logs are empty or not recording events.

Symptoms
  • Log page is blank
  • Old logs deleted too soon
  • Critical errors not recorded
Possible Causes
  • Logging level too low
  • Router rebooted (clears RAM logs)
  • Internal storage full

Step-by-Step Fix

1

Adjust Log Level

Set logging to "Debug" or "Informational" to see more detail.

2

Setup Syslog Server

Send logs to a PC so they aren't lost on reboot.

3

Check Time Settings

Logs may be dated incorrectly if the router time is wrong.

When to See a Technician

Most routers store logs in RAM, meaning they are lost every time you unplug the device.
