I couldn't find anything on this topic.

Try the Search here (up and to your right)

for SMB file logging - lots of hits. Yes, it's possible.

thx a lot but

ibve read a many, i get a failure.
I write following in Auxiliary Parameters
log level = 1, auth_audit:5
I cant save it bec:
log level is a blacklisted auxiliary parameter. Changes to this parameter are not permitted.

Services -> SMB -> Log Level -> select from the drop-down options

ok thx a lot.
I activated it and where can I see the log data now?

 

[winnielinnie]

Like most logs, they're found under /var/log/

In this case, /var/log/samba4/

hmm, I thought I could view it live like my Qnap without bothering an editor or anything

Use SSH to get a command line on your NAS, then

Code:

cd /var/log
more <filename>

There is no UI access to logs.

ahh ok

 

[Andreas_1]

Is something like this not needed in practice?

 

[Patrick M. Hausen]

SSH exists

 

[Andreas_1]

Yes, of course, but it is easier for me as a user to view the log data in a UI

Yup, but TrueNAS is made for system admins used to ssh.
You could probably use a cronjob to mail the logs regularly in order to view them more easily.
