[665] Option to disable logging of hardware monitor

[Egregius]

I like the hardware monitor to see the cpu, memory and other usage. It's great to see if you make some work to improve the cpu usage etc.
The only downting about it is the logging. Every 30 seconds the same line in the logfile "Hardware Monitor: Fetching data (System sensors)".
I would like that there's an option for that hardware type to disable logging.

What's your opinion about this?

Hi,

You could achieve this by disabling Hardware Monitor.

In Domoticz, go to Hardware,
then select the line corresponding to "Motherboard Sensors" Type,
then un-check the "enable" check box,
and press the "update" button.

A line "Hardware Monitor: Stopped..." will appear in the log.

And no more "Hardware Monitor: Fetching data (System sensors)" lines.

You loose hardware sensors devices (such as CPU temperature), but who cares once your Domoticz configuration is stable ?

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Disabling the monitor itself is no solution. I would like to disable this log as well. I'm monitoring the log for something else, but this hardware monitor is fill up alomst all the log. Is there another sulution?

I understand your issue, I wish we could decide for ourself which device is able to 'spam' te log and which isn't. In my case the OTGW spams the log 2x/minute with a big amount of lines, the same for switches with energy monitoring.

Hi,

Did anyone find a solution to this?

Thanks,

I agree. All the information from hardware monitor makes it hard to see log information from other devices.

Maybe adding -loglevel status in the /etc/init.d/domoticz.sh can help you.
I used that parameter to avoid log file being full in few days:

then I modified /etc/init.d/domoticz.sh adding -loglevel status:

Code: Select all

DAEMON=/home/$USERNAME/domoticz/$NAME
DAEMON_ARGS="-daemon"
DAEMON_ARGS="$DAEMON_ARGS -www 8080"
DAEMON_ARGS="$DAEMON_ARGS -sslwww 443"
#DAEMON_ARGS="$DAEMON_ARGS -log /tmp/domoticz.txt -verbose 1 -loglevel 3"
DAEMON_ARGS="$DAEMON_ARGS -log /var/log/domoticz.log -loglevel status"

and all silly lines were no more added to the log file.

This is actually a good tip, thank you.
Because I log also from pass2php to the domoticz log all lines where kind of double before. Now my logfile is a lot cleaner.

Code: Select all
