Remote logging

=Enable remote logging on la Fonera Plus=

This written is a partial answer to whom may say :"hey, now la fonera is open , what can I do with it ?"

The first thing that I thought was to anble remote logging.

Since I'm Fon beta tester, I think is correct to have logging facility in order to better understand what's going on on your router.

Ubuntu :Change the configuration file of your logging daemon
In Ubuntu linux you have to edit this file

Now our syslog is capable of receiving logs from remote hosts

We need restart syslog in order to apply new settings

Windows: configuration for TFTPD32
Click on "settings" button to change parameter:

Section "TFTPD Configuration", change: Local ports pool 514:514

Section "syslog server" You can check option "Save syslog messages" and define a file name to save syslog in a file stored in TFTPD32 instalation directory

For real time displaying syslog events, go to tab "Syslog server" on TFTP32

Change the logging feature inside la fonera
ssh into la Fonera plus

Now you have to edit the file in /etc/init.d/rcS. But in la Fonera plus there is no editor, so you cannot modify text files from within. The solution is brought by scp.

Open another console and type :

And the file is transferred to you computer.

Edit the rcS file in this way :

Now you have to reboot la fonera, you can switch off power unplugging or , as now finally you can do it , typing this command:

Ubuntu: Checking logs on your computer
now all the fonera logs will be sent to your syslog machine. To better check which are related, you can do optionally this :

Now enjoy your fonera full log.
