this help thanks your way
There will be too much log then!
idea is to use log rotation to counteract the issue
Are there any plans to implement either of these features? (enabling of log and log rotation)
Both are vital to security insights
seems log mounted to tmp anyways
if tmp dumping setup properly this should be fine. Other option is remote log and flush log
for others possible to find the thread
root@{hostname}:~# df /var/log/nginx
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
tmpfs 201148 1076 200072 1% /tmp
For routers with usb or sd card storage, I configure sd card formatted as extroot, log_file option with logrotate. Here are the formulas

You can do it easily by yourself.
Which isn’t really recommended because it will cause read / write on the flash. Since the flash isn’t replaceable it’s better to just save the logs into RAM or using a log server, if needed.
equal thought
but consumer router should enable
point good
you reply below post yes?
formulas stand idea good
maybe no survival here formula good
Correct. The default log location is /var which is /tmp. So after extroot, I changed log_file location like /usr/log so that it survives reboot.
