Domoticz.log location [solved]

[Backbone]

Hello,
When I check my log from the settings menu I see a constant data stream filling the log.
But that is a very low fill in. once every 20 seconds or so. No important data. Just scripts starting, weather info data and so on.
When I start a Dzvents thermostat script I created the log is filled every milisecond or so with a line.
I am now assuming that the higher data stream could fill up the store location so quickly Domoticz will lock up.But could be wrong.
So I googled to see where the domoticz.log file could be stored and I had one hit.
/var/log/domoticz.log
However I can find that file on that location when I check with WINSCP.

Any assistance would be appricated.

It seems you use windows as OS?
Logging to a file is by default disabled because it can become a large file. With a reinstall you can enable the logging to a file.

If you use Linux you can use the instruction in the troubleshooting wiki to switch log to a file on. https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Troubleshooting

But also every hardware gateway (menu setup - hardware) has settings to switch off log, status and/or error logging. So this would help if one of your hardware gateways is spamming the log a lot.

Also for dvents it depends on the script how much logging you get. Perhaps switch off log statements in the script (add -- before the log line in the script).
Also you can set the log level per script (info, status, error, debug).
Check the log template example to play with this. This is butt the way implemented in 2024.7

Hi,

i looked for the domoticz.log file, but i could not find it in the /var/log location.

What is the problem:
I have several computers and all except one are able to remotely log in into domoticz. One computer give the login-error "name and/or password" are not correct, but they are correct, other computers can log in. Offcourse I cleared the browser-cache.
So i searched for a log-file in which i can see who is logged in into domoticz and which user is refused and why.
Where to look for that logfile?

Thanks.

Have you looked at the linked wiki page, where it is explained how to generate the log file?
https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Troublesh ... _log_files

It could very well be that it is not defined thus not generated.

[pgas37]

yes, i did

cd domoticz
sudo service domoticz stop
Test if domoticz can be started by hand:
./domoticz
but starting domoticz by hand genereated a lot of error-lines not knowing how to solve.

Hi Walter,

As far as my knowledge goes I switched off all logging options as you described.
Problem of the filling of the log starts as soon as I start the DZvents script as written below and change the setting manual of a "switch".
Without changing the Switch output the logging is regular.
When I want to abort the logging I have to wait around 10 seconds as domoticz seems to be busy still with the logging.
After this 10 seconds the script screen appears and I can stop the script from running.

Code: Select all

{
    on =
    {
        devices = {'Thermostat_Control', 'Heater_Switch', 'Temp_Kamer','Setpoint_Regular' },
        timer = {'every minute'},
    },

    execute = function(dz)

        --local Vartemp = dz.variables('Vartemp') --declared as float value
        local Thermostat = dz.devices('Thermostat_Control')         -- =idx69
        local Switch = dz.devices('Heater_Switch')                  -- =idx67
        local Roomtemp = dz.devices('Temp_Kamer')                   -- =idx32
        local Setpoint_Regular = dz.devices('Setpoint_Regular')     -- =idx68
        
        -- "Uit" mode active initiated by thermostat switchselector at level 0
        if dz.devices(69).level == 0 then
            dz.devices(67).switchOff()

        end
        
        -- "Normaal" mode active initiated by thermostat switchselector at level 10
        if dz.devices(69).level == 10 then
            if  dz.time.matchesRule ('at 00:00-23:59') then
                if dz.devices(32).temperature < dz.devices(68).setPoint then
                    dz.devices(67).switchOn()
                else
                    dz.devices(67).switchOff()
                end
            end
        end
    end
 }

Any suggestion or should I put this problem in the DZvents section?

Thanks, Paco

It seems that one of the triggered devices, probably 'Heater_switch', is updated every second so your script is triggered every second. You could remove it from the trigger device list if that is possible for your script

It could be that the dzvents script is doing the trigger itself due to the switching perhaps add a checkfirst() command option before switching.

Code: Select all

dz.devices(67).switchOff().checkFirst()

Got it solved.

Code: Select all

return
{
    on =
    {
        devices = {'Thermostat_Control', 'Heater_Switch', 'Temp_Kamer','Setpoint_Regular' },
        timer = {'every minute'},
    },

    execute = function(dz)

        --local Vartemp = dz.variables('Vartemp') --declared as float value
        local Thermostat = dz.devices('Thermostat_Control')         -- =idx69
        local Switch = dz.devices('Heater_Switch')                  -- =idx67
        local Roomtemp = dz.devices('Temp_Kamer')                   -- =idx32
        local Setpoint_Regular = dz.devices('Setpoint_Regular')     -- =idx68
        
        -- "Uit" mode active initiated by thermostat switchselector at level 0
        if dz.devices(69).level == 0 then
            dz.devices(67).switchOff()

        end
        
        -- "Normaal" mode active initiated by thermostat switchselector at level 10
        if dz.devices(69).level == 10 then
            if  dz.time.matchesRule ('at 00:00-23:59') then
                if dz.devices(32).temperature < dz.devices(68).setPoint then
                    dz.devices(67).switchOn().checkFirst()
                else
                    dz.devices(67).switchOff().checkFirst()
                end
            end
        end
    end
 }
