      Hi,

      Is there any way to increase the log history that I get on Status: System logs: Firewall ?

      300 entries is too little for what I need.

      Thanks

        Use an external syslog server is the recommended way. There is a package to run a syslog server on the box.
        How much more logging do you need?

          If you just want to see a few more, you can increase that number in the Settings tab - I just tried 500 and it works.
          And you can use the command line to see all that is in there: clog /var/log/system.log
          And on 2.2 you can make the circular log size a bit bigger.
          If it is just a bit more of the recent log you care about, then the above might be enough for you.

          As the Greek philosopher Isosceles used to say, "There are 3 sides to every triangle."

              Unless it's very low traffic you're going to need a syslog server of some sort then.
