ReadyNAS 2120 v2 logs forward via email or syslog?
I have a ReadyNAS 2010 and I see that there is logging. Is there anyway for me to forward those logs to another server? I don't see the option in the GUI. Do i need to download a plugin?
There is a rsyslog app, but that duplicates the logging we already do in the journal
We do have email alerts, but those send important messages e.g. some of what is shown in the status log in the web admin interface.
Where do i find the journal? So the syslog app has the ability to send to another server correct? Any special setup I need to do after downloading the app such as opening ports on the firewall?
How do I set up email alerts?
systemd-journal.log in the logs or using SSH (use of this is at your own risk) the journalctl command.
As for configuring email alerts see e.g. http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/23066/~/how-do-i-manage-my-email-alert-contacts-on-my-readynas-os-6-storage-system%3F
Can we setup email alerts without internet? It's an intranet without a mail server to make matters harder.
Long story short, I want to forward alerts to another server, http://www.mwagent.com/. What's the best way of doing this as mail is not the best.
I guess these are the options but i really hope I don't have to putty in, follow some random commands and hope I don't crash the system. The documenation doesn't cover much on this topci

The NAS has to reach some email server.

One hack would be to automate the download of the zip using curl on another (windows?) machine, and then forward it somehow from there.
RAIDar can also download logs, so you might be able to automate that with a GUI automation tool.
What are the risks of setting up syslog? Is there any information on where the settings are to help me configure it?

The general risk of using SSH is that Netgear reserves the right to deny support - you'd potentially need to convince them that your modifications didn't cause whatever problem you've run into.
I've never seen a guide on how to set up syslog-ng on an OS 6 NAS.
