==Assumptions== The following is assumed; *You have a Synology NAS and know how to log in to the management web page as "admin" *You have a networked device which you want to record its System messages. Note: Ensure this device enables you to define a SysLog server IP address AND port number. Some devices don't support sending messages to a SysLog server (especially cheaper home routers), and some only allow you to define the servers IP address. You must be able to define both the IP address AND port number of the SysLog server for this mod to work. *You know the IP address of your Synology NAS *You have 1 hour spare to complete this wiki Note: This modification gets syslog-ng to record received system messages to flat files, one file per day, named by date. Once you have seen how this modification works it is fairly simple to configure syslog-ng to record to a mysql database on the NAS, see the syslog-ng documentation for guidance.
