I have a 60F and a 100F and both of them have stopped generating any kind of system events or logs whatsoever. They have both been working as intended for years up until yesterday when I got on to check some wifi logs and there is just nothing there suddenly. I've tried diagnose log test and still have nothing. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Under menu "Log & Report > Log Settings", check if "Event Logging" is enabled.

Both Event Logging settings are enabled yes.

Anyone have any ideas? I still have nothing showing in Events. Event Logging is ON already but I'm still coming up empty.

60F and 100H have no internal disks. They both store logs in memory and for a very short delay.

Probably your sys event logs are correctly generated but they are quickly replaced by newer traffic logs.

Try to forward logs to a syslog server and see if it helps.
