Description
The logging feature sends all of your actions on the router to a log file or to a logging daemon.
Router has several global configuration settings that are applied to logging. Logs have different
facilities. Logs from each facility can be configured to be discarded, logged locally or remotely.
Log files can be stored in memory (default; logs are lost on reboot) or on hard drive (not enabled by
default as is harmful for flash disks).
