Searching for OpenWrt remote Syslog Host with "Free Plan" / very low log volume

Hi

searching for OpenWrt remote Syslog Host with "Free Plan" / very low log volume

I wish to send my OpenWrt logs to an SaaS based provider.

Is there such a provider with free plan for very log volume?

the background to my question is: if i make a rsync backup with full bandwidth, OpenWrt crashes. If I limit the bandwidth with rsync, I have no problem. I want to debug this and look at the logs afterwards.

Thank you very much

The 'best' and only sensible 'plan' for this, would be adding one to your own network. Anything that runs linux/ rsyslog and has mature/ removable storage qualifies, be it something like a RPi-zero (or x86, sunxi, rockchip, etc.) with a general purpose linux dsitribution or another (old) router with a USB port (the later probably needs more care to set up).

Just open a ssh session and run logread -f so all logs are sent to that terminal as they occur. Then open another terminal and do whatever causes the crash.

Create your own free syslog host with a free cloud VM from Google or Oracle?

(I was thinking that.)

these guys have a free tier account (with some obvious limitations - 48h search and 7 days archive) but maybe it fits your usage pattern
