# OpenWRT - Read logs

To read logs use:

```bash
logread
```

This will output something similar to:

```bash
Mon Jan 31 10:50:17 2022 daemon.notice netifd: Network device 'wg0' link is down
Mon Jan 31 10:50:17 2022 daemon.notice netifd: Interface 'wg0' is now down
Mon Jan 31 10:50:17 2022 daemon.notice netifd: Interface 'wg0' is setting up now
Mon Jan 31 10:50:17 2022 daemon.notice netifd: Interface 'wg0' is now up
