Where does apple timecapsule store router logs and statistics, regarding connected devices MAC address and other identifying information about logins, login attempts, login times etc with historical information? Need to access records of historical connections and connection attempts. Thank you.
Time Capsule 802.11n (1st Gen), Mac OS X (10.7.4)
You should be able to use SNMP with the TC.. I have never tried it.. well not seriously.. it is one of those things that is always more complicated than it sounds. But the facility is there.. look up how people have used it.
Thanks Bob. If I have 5.6 and want to see the logs outside of the utility, where would it be saved on the hard drive? Thanks!
The version of AirPort Utility that you are using with Lion 10.7.4 does not have logging capabilities.
If you are still running Lion 10.7.4, you do have the option to install and use AirPort Utility 5.6, which does have some basic logging functions.
AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion
You can keep both AirPort Utility 5.6 and 6.x on your Mac and use the version that you need.
To see the logs in AirPort Utility 5.6....
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility 5.6
Select the Time Capsule and click Manual Setup
Click the Advanced (gear) icon
Click Logs and Statistics
Click Logging and Statistics again
If you have upgraded to Mountain Lion 10.8.x, unfortunately there is not a version of AirPort Utility that will display log information in that operating system. We do not know if Apple plans to provide this function or not.
I don't know that they are saved beyond the most recent 24 hour period displayed in AirPort Utility.
There is an option in AirPort Utility to Export the logs for the last 24 hours or so as a text file to a separate location, but this would need to be done manually each day.
