Any way to automatically export logs from router?

If I log on to my X4S R7800 router's web interface, I can go to Advanced -> Administration -> Logs and then click "Send Log". I also see that I can have it send the logs to an email address automatically.

 

However, Is there a way to make it send the logs automatically to syslog server? Or save the logs as a text file?

       If that option is not offered, then I'd guess not.  Around here
    (D7000[v1], V1.0.1.78_1.0.1), the ADVANCED > Administration > Logs
    options include (below the "Include in Log" options):

     

          Syslog
           (o) Disable
           (  ) Broadcast on LAN
           (  ) Send to this Syslog server IP address  [_._._._]

     

    So, apparently, they once knew how to do it.

       Get your e-mail software to save those ADVANCED > Security > E-mail
    "Send logs according to this schedule" e-mail messages?
