Synology NAS: Location of logs for running scheduled tasks (DSM 7)

Recently, I had a scheduled task running for long, and i noticed I couldn't find the logs as I used to find them while using DSM 6. I ended up creating a ticket for Synology Support, but I did get too far with them. I started looked at the running processes, and with a bit of luck I was able to find it. the location in my NAS is /volume#/@tmp/synoscheduler/logs It happens to be the case it's the same volume I write the logs to (once the tasks finished). For you it may be volume1 or else Inside you will find a folder with a name starting with @, like @16589, once you have a task running.

Also set net.link.bridge.pfil_member to 0 Bridge WAN and LAN by going to 'Interfaces → Assign → Bridges' Create OPT2 (there should be already an OPT1 since we are using 3 nics)  interface and assign the bridge to it by 'Interfaces → Assignments.  Add an IP address to the bridge interface; this IP is the one you will use to access the firewall lon
