Unraid - No logs from /var/log appear in app

[Krillsson]

Another question. I don't see logs in Monitee-app on smartphone. Can I change default variable /vat/log for /mnt/user/Syslog?

This is because you also need to uncomment line 38 in configuration.yml (so it looks like below)

logReader:
  files: [ ]
  directories:
  # - data # sys-API data directory. You can enable log to file in application.properties
   - /var/log # Linux log directory

The reason its commented out is because this directory only exist in Linux, not in Windows and Mac

[PrzemekSkw]

Hello, I uncomment like that but still have 0 files 0B in Logs widget in App. Nothing happen when I click that field. Regards.

[Krillsson]

Forgot to mention. Did you restart the container after changing the config?

[PrzemekSkw]

Yes, I always stop container when I edit config files. I start it after and restart second time. Maybe it's because there's very large logs?

[Krillsson]

Now I'm puzzled. So if you do

ls /var/log

From the unRAID terminal. Are there files?

And if you then use the command line from inside the container and do the same thing. Are the same files there?

And if you then use the command line from inside the container and do the same thing. Are the same files there? From Monitee-agent container console:

# ls /var/log

I have the same issue so I think I can respond as well.

Yes there are files under /var/log for example:

ls -la /var/log/
total 6744

I have commented out the following in the configuration.yml

logReader:
  files: [ ]
  directories:
  # - data # sys-API data directory. You can enable log to file in application.properties
    - /var/log # Linux log directory

The container has mounted: Container path: /var/log Host Path: /var/log/

[PrzemekSkw]

I can show my configs to bee sure I don't have any errors:

configuration.yml

linux:
  journalLogs:
    enabled: true
  systemDaemonServiceManagement:
    enabled: true
logReader:
  files: [ ]
  directories:
  # - data # sys-API data directory. You can enable log to file in application.properties
   - /var/log # Linux log directory
# web interface for running queries

[Krillsson]

Found the issue. It's related to #187. I am working on a fix for the agent.

[Krillsson]

Since #187 is now resolved. The problem with Logs widget not clickable in the app should now be resolved as well after updating the agent from the unRAID UI

[PrzemekSkw]

Thank You very much. Now works great. Regards.
