Logging

[jkimmel]

This is part of a working script

Code: Select all

 if LOGGING then
            dz.log('Current temperature: ' .. temperature, dz.LOG_INFO)
            dz.log('Setpoint: ' .. tostring(setpoint), dz.LOG_INFO)
            dz.log('Current boiler state: ' .. boilerState, dz.LOG_INFO)
        end

Despite

Code: Select all

local LOGGING = true

and Domoticz settings: Errors + minimal execution info + generic info I don't see any entries in the log referring to the above code.

Perhaps a parsing issue due to an reserved logging section. What if you change LOGGING to CustomLog (or any other name you like)?

Do you have code like below at the beginning of the script, and is that code correct?

Code: Select all

    logging = {
      level = domoticz.LOG_INFO,
--   level = domoticz.LOG_DEBUG,
    },

    },

No I don't have. Should I?

Will never hurt to try and find out...

I tried and it didn't hurt at all

[waltervl]

But did you get logging now? ....

[jkimmel]

But did you get logging now? ....

no, but the reason has been, I tried to log a nil value and that prevented the logging of the other values

Removing logging the line with the nil value and everything was ok without defining the log level.

Anyway thanks for your input

It is not such a bad practice to always include the logging line I presented above.
This way you can easy switch to debug logging per script.
I do it with all my scripts.
Most of the time I also include a marker, like

Code: Select all

    logging =   {
        level = domoticz.LOG_INFO,
--      level = domoticz.LOG_DEBUG,
        marker = 'ABC'
    },

You can use the marker in the filter in the log screen, so you see only the (debug) loglines of that script in the logging.
With 60+ scripts the full logging goes to fast to be interpreted.

Yet, -like the OP- I don't understand how to make the logging show or not show. It seems it doesn't make any difference what I specify in this logging section nor in the settings. It must be me not understanding it, but I can not get the settings so that by default dzvents scripts only show error messages and only if I am debugging a script this single script shows all messages. An example would -for me at least- be very much appreciated.

For me as well

Using below code AND setting dzVents logging to Silent in Setup-Settings-Other I get the following results when switching the loglevel in the script logging section. So it seems to work, but when the general dzVents logging setting in Setup-Settings-Other is already on an debug level it could be different
Edit, added a test that general setting was set to debug, in script to LOG_ERROR.

Code: Select all

return {
	on = {
	    timer = {
	        'every minute'
	       }
	},
	logging = {
		level = domoticz.LOG_INFO, -- Can be domoticz.LOG_INFO, domoticz.LOG_MODULE_EXEC_INFO, domoticz.LOG_DEBUG or domoticz.LOG_ERROR
		marker = 'test',
	},
	execute = function(domoticz, device)
	    domoticz.log('1. LOG_INFO', domoticz.LOG_INFO)
	    domoticz.log('2. LOG_MODULE_EXEC_INFO', domoticz.LOG_MODULE_EXEC_INFO)
	    domoticz.log('3. LOG_DEBUG', domoticz.LOG_DEBUG)
	    domoticz.log('4. LOG_ERROR', domoticz.LOG_ERROR)
	end
}

Dzvents logging in latest Beta 2024.4 has been simplified and also more clear and in line of other Domoticz logging.
- info logging added
- log types: info, status, error and debug
- basic control from menu setup- settings tab other
- basic setting can be overruled in the script.
See also the new logging template.
