Title: [SOLVED] Cannot find or view log files in web UI
Post by: andi on February 24, 2017, 09:02:08 am

Hello!

I am trying to view the PPPoE (PPP) logs, and I am searching for a view that is similar to the pfSense equivalent. It should exist in opnSense too, at least I found this screenshot:

http://screenshots.portforward.com/routers/OPNsense/15.1.12-i386/Status_System_Logs_VPN_PPPoE_Raw.htm

but not how to get there.

How do I get to a more extensive view of the logs? (I only found System/Log File, but a lot is missing there and it looks completely different from above screenshot.) Everything else seems to be split all over the place, but I have not found yet what I want.

Using opensense 17.1.

Many thanks!

Log into the console and select option 8 to get a shell. Run this command to keep an eye on the PPPoE log:

tail -30f /var/log/ppps.log

Hi Andi,

Searching for "log file" in the quick search brings up all possible pages (well, the top 8 anyway but you can further refine your search as you type).


Cheers,
