Possible to have a more configurable logger?

Post by Mastiff »

I use the logger a lot to keep track of what happens in my system. But there are a few things that I really don't need. Would it be possible to make it optional to show the names of the macros that run and the name of the actions that run inside a macro? An example:

Code: Select all

   Termostatstyring av rommene
Temperaturstyring av ovner
WC.: Temperatur: 23.0, termostatmodus: 1, termostattemperatur: 22, tidspunkt: Kl. 11:01, den 20.01.
The final line is the only one I would like to have there. That's a printout of all the info I need, while the two first lines are unnecessary.

Your example I do not understand much.
Can you please add a screenshot (and if it is possible, with more kinds of actions) ?

Those I would like to get rid of are marked in red. :wink: The names of macros and events that are being run.

Hello,

I am looking for some way to reduce log verbosity. I am using EG for home automation and my log gets flooded with various events from sensors just because I have one macro that writes sensors value to a database.

One solution could be to temporarily disable the event. But if I do so, I would no longer get the values written into my database.

It would be nice that next release of EG allows enabling/disabling log of specific sets of events/macros/commands. I see 2 possibilities:
1) a system of log "layers" where we could assign events/macros/commands to named layers of log and then activate any of these layers to be actually displayed. New items would be assigned to Default layer that would correspond to current log
2) an option to enable/disable log of any folder (and the events/macros/commands it contain)

I hope 1) or 2) or both could be implemented in a near future

Check out this, it should be covering most since you can basically block all events from being logged (but still working as events). This is however configured differently to what you drafted
