A easier way to read all logs with filtering and time stamps

[Visseroth]

It would be nice to have a area to be able read all available logs and apply filters so you could search the logs for things

 

[pirateghost]

ssh.
cat /var/log/<nameoflog> | grep <keyword to filter on>

For the inexperienced user some sort of guidance would be a nice starting point (which log files to look at and where to find them).

I was thinking of something in the gui would be nice instead of opening a ssh session every time I want to look over a log.
Granted a syslog server is extremely handy in a situation like this but not everyone wants to setup a syslog server nor is a syslog server required. To just be able to hit a log tab and select the log you want to be able to view, makes sense since one is likely already logged into the web gui. Heck, even firewalls allow you to see the system logs along with all the other logs, well any firewall worth a poop, lol.

This would be a good feature request for 10. If you decide to make one, use https://bugs.freenas.org/projects/freenas-10/issues and post the issue number here.
