    Is there a way to send the Logs to a cloud based file system to access?

     

    The USB memory stick is great, but I would think this would be for a one time isolated event to capture the information. If you wanted this daily, this would be a laborious activity and if you missed the window, you would loose data.

     

    The thought here is that there is a lot of information in the logs. After an investigation, you can safely 'ignore' certain logged items - Zoom meeting IPs, known connections to IPs (apple), etc. - This would allow you to just review new or unique events until the they can also be added to the 'ignore' list.

     

    I can easily write something, if the data is external from the Firewalla system, but I need to export... even a "Save to CSV" from the web console would be great.

    thanks!

    Inspired by Chris, I turned this into a script that makes this a bit easier.

    Hi @PotatoHead... What step did you get the error? Some steps require sudo.

    Hi,

     

    Can this process be used to permanently expand Firewalla Gold storage and for this to be used for more storage needed for dockers? I'm the furthest thing from a Linux expert, but from this thread about Gold SE and adding SSD https://help.firewalla.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/15439100215059-Pimping-Firewalla-Gold-Plus?page=1#community_comment_37197456572819 and the use case here, I understand that this is a temporary addition for logs that does not survive reboots. Any help would be greatly appreciated on how to expand permanently Gold's useable storage for dockers.
