Hi,

I am running an Asus RT-AC86U Extreme, with your latest firmware. I am running into what I think is a bug. I have a EXT4 connected 64 GB USB 3 drive connected to the router mounted at /mnt/sda1/. I have set my logs to be saved to a custom location: /mnt/sda1/logs/ and at first I had it set to a frequency of every 1 hour. Then I decided to change it to one week, and it did an applying (but not a count down one which was odd) and remained at 1 hour. I then tinkered a bit and managed to get it to stick with 3 days. However, when I went from 3 days to 1 week, it had the same result, only this time it stayed with the 3 day value.

I have been able to set it to 3 days now without issue but wanted to report it since I was able to replicate it via a variety of methods. If I'm wrong and it's not a bug but how it's supposed to work, please accept my apologies.

This might not be a bug with your build, however, as I just remembered that I upgraded the syslog-ng entware. I apologize for the confusion as a non-standard module is not a bug in your firmware as a non-standard module is not supported.
