My Cloud EX2 Ultra as Syslog Server

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone had any luck using their My Cloud EX2 Ultra as a syslog server. I managed to get Syslog-ng installed on mine yesterday but upon a reboot I lost all of the configuration changes I had made.

It appears this model does not natively support any syslog server app but I thought maybe some of you smart people might know a way around it. I ran a search but I haven’t come across anything so far.

Hi @Syslog,

Have you opened a Support Case? If not opened, for more information, please contact the WD Technical Support team for the best assistance and troubleshooting:

Have you looked at running Docker where you could easily spin up linuxserver/syslog-ng? There are a bunch of threads on this forum about running Docker. It also opens up a world of other apps you can run without fear of losing the configuration across reboots and updates.

This seems to be the way to go. Thank you.
