That's the wrong assessment and conclusion. Given the context of the OP's system with dnsmasq as the DHCP server, it's definitely and technically correct. In fact, both RFC 2131 and RFC 2132, which define the core specifications for the functionality and behavior of the Dynamic Host...

Hmmm... It sounds like you're saying that when using dnsmasq as the DHCP server, it's a general requirement that all manually assigned IP address reservations must be within the defined IP pool range. If that's indeed what you're saying, it would be an incorrect statement. Perhaps it's a...

Release Notes for Scribe v3.2.11_26030223 BETA development version [2026-Mar-03] 1) IMPROVED: Adjusted code to allow searching for and storing filtered log files under a subdirectory of the "/opt/var/log" directory. Note that the 'messages' log file is a special case and cannot be stored in a...

Yes, good point. I have now modified the ethernet filter config file to handle this possible scenario. That would match any messages containing the substring, such as method or ethernet, which is not the intended target. This scenario is now handled as well. According to the recent...

I have modified the syslog-ng ethernet filter configuration file to prevent it from capturing log entries intended for the Skynet log file. Note that there are other ways to fix the issue you reported; this is just one of several possible solutions. To download and install the latest ethernet...

I got to say, first and foremost, the credit goes to the two original authors. Scribe & uiScribe add-ons are the result of a great collaborative effort between @cmkelley & @Jack Yaz, along with several forum users who provided assistance with testing, feedback, bug reports, and suggestions. As...

You brought up a good point. Technically, both syslog-ng and logrotate can handle log files located in a subdirectory within the "/opt/var/log" directory, so that scenario should be allowed to work - unless there's some limitation that I'm not aware of. I've now modified the few dependencies...

Release Notes for Scribe v3.2.10 production version now available [2026-Feb-16] 1) FIXED: Bug fix in the code that searches for the full paths of all filtered log files. For example, the following entry, which is syntactically valid in a syslog-ng configuration file, would generate an error...

Release Notes for uiScribe v1.4.12 production version now available [2026-Feb-16] 1) FIXED: Bug fix in the code that searches for the full paths of all filtered log files. For example, the following entry, which is syntactically valid in a syslog-ng configuration file, would generate an error...

Given all your results with the "old" MerlinAU syslog entries (*before* the 1.5.9 version), I became very curious to find out what was really going on, so I ran some debugging tests with syslog-ng, and it turned out that you were absolutely correct. When the log entry has a header tag with the...

If I'm understanding your setup, it should work as described - assuming that the subnet mask (e.g. 255.255.255.0) defined for the subnet in question includes the range of IP addresses you're talking about. As an example, I have one router configuration where the first 29 IP addresses (i.e. *.2...

The above log entries were generated by the previously installed MerlinAU script (i.e. *before* the 1.5.9 version update). You will likely need to review and rework your syslog-ng configuration settings when filtering the slightly modified log entries starting from MerlinAU 1.5.9 version; then...

Ah, OK, my apologies. I should have made it clear in the release notes (as I did when the v3.2.9 BETA development version was issued) that you must run the following 2 commands even if the BETA version was never installed: /jffs/scripts/scribe stable /jffs/scripts/scribe forceupdate The reason...

Could you both post the "/opt/etc/syslog-ng.conf" file that was installed with the latest v3.2.9 production release update? The latest version of the configuration file has a "2026-Feb-01" date stamp at the top of its header, and the critical changes are in the "source src" statement (see the...

Release Notes for Scribe v3.2.9 production version now available [2026-Feb-07] 1) IMPROVED: Modified code to be able to filter the initial log messages generated during the reboot process when syslog-ng has not yet been started. 2) IMPROVED: Modified code regarding the UI messages to be clear...

@thelonelycoder, A cousin of mine was having some issues with Diversion after installing the latest 5.4.6 version about 3 weeks ago, so he asked me to take a look. After reviewing his setup and double-checking the 'dnsmasq.conf' file, I found out that when enabling dnsmasq logging, some dnsmasq...

I don't like changing the original timestamps of the log entries, especially in situations where I'm trying to troubleshoot/debug issues occurring during the reboot sequence. IMO, the "dawn-of-time" timestamps (before NTP is started) make it extremely fast and easy to find when/where any reboot...

Well, according to the original code written by @cmkelley, updates are not allowed when in that state. Frankly, I don't know the exact reason(s) for it. The original code has a very explicit check for syslog-ng running before any script update is allowed to start, so I can only assume @cmkelley...

Thank you for testing and providing feedback. Glad the latest code is working well for you. You can find the initial description of the 2 problems I was trying to address in post #141. Essentially, during the reboot process, there is a deluge of log messages that get generated while all the...

Ah, OK. Yes, that's definitely intentional and the original behavior set by @cmkelley. When syslog-ng is not running, the main menu options are trimmed down to only what's considered essential or useful at that point.
