System Event Logs

 

The NAS can store 10,000 recent event logs, including warnings, errors, and information. If the NAS does not function correctly, refer to the event logs for troubleshooting.

 

Tip: Right click on a record to delete it. To clear every log, click "Clear All".

 

System Connection Logs

 

The NAS can record HTTP, FTP, Telnet, SSH, AFP, SAMBA, and iSCSI connections. Click "Options" to select the connection type to be logged. File transfer performance may be slightly impacted when this feature is enabled.

 

Tip: Right click on a record and select to delete the record or to block the IP and select how long the IP should be blocked. To clear every log, click "Clear All".

 

Start Logging: Enable this option to archive connection logs. When the number of logs reaches the upper limit the NAS will automatically generate a CSV file and save it to a specified folder. File-level access logs are available on this page. The NAS will record logs when users access, create, delete, move, or rename any files/folders via the connection type specified in "Options". To disable this feature, click "Stop logging".

 

Note: For AFP and SSH connections, the system can only record login and logout events.

 

Online Users

 

The information of online users connected to the NAS by networking services is shown here.

 

Tip: Right click on a record to disconnect the IP connection and block the IP.
