Domoticz

Hello to all members of the forum. I am a newbie user from Ukraine, although I have been using Domoticz for almost six months at the level of setting - searching for solutions.
Now I have the latest version of the program on my Windows server, the head unit is Xiaomi Hub 2 and so far there are 22 temperature and humidity sensors. I am trying to log the temperature in the warehouse with an interval of 5 minutes. I ask because it may be necessary to look at the logs 4 months ago or 25 days ago ...
I have already tried everything, I can not find a solution to increase the logging of sensors - maybe you can add it to me. There is a value from 1 to 7 days. I need more - 365 or even 500 or 1000. How can this be done without using specific programs like C ++ to change program files. If it is impossible to change a file with logging intervals without using such programs, then who can change and share the file with such data with me? It is interesting to log with a 5-minute interval! Since I'm using a PC, the file size doesn't matter. Thanks a lot for the answers!!!

If you can read the device every five minutes, you could make a script to write the results to the domoticz.log file.
See https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Windows#Windows_Log_files:

Windows Log files
Due to what seems to be a bug in the installation script the logging file entries are not created in startup commands.
So you need to add them manually.

When running as a service you need to change regkey HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\Domoticz\Parameters Add value AppParameters with -log "<Path-to-logfile\domoticz.log>"

When running as an app define it in the target field of the properties window. Something like C:\Users\Public\Domoticz\domoticz.exe -www 8080 -sslwww 443 -log "C:\Users\Public\Domoticz\domoticz.log" -loglevel normal,status,error

Although Domoticz could be modified to support such long sensordata history, it is not advisable to do so.

Internally Domoticz uses SQLite3 as its internal database engine and this is meant for not too large databases.

But an easy solutions is available
Domoticz can push its measurements to external collectors. For example Influxdb. Look for ‘Data Push’ in the settings menu.

And on the Domoticz wiki for more information.

You can setup an InfluxDB server with a Grafama front-end and keep as much data as you like.

Hope that helps. Good luck and keep us posted.

The question is not about sending the values to the domoticz program log (domoticz.log) but about storing the values of sensors in the history tables of the database for a longer time with a granularity of one sample per 5 minutes.
Also the issue you refer to with regards to the domoticz.log is solved in a recent build. (see Domoticz versions / Commits Build 12928

I will add that as a comment in the wiki

From sqlite.org

The largest possible setting for SQLITE_MAX_PAGE_COUNT is 4294967294. When used with the maximum page size of 65536, this gives a maximum SQLite database size of about 281 terabytes.

Nice (now find an SD card to fit 281 Tera on )

Thanks to everyone who answered me! And I apologize for not writing for a long time - I was busy with work and some hack ...
I decided to take advantage of the kiddigital advice and started installing Influx and Grafana. Played with them for a long time since I am not a programmer, but I did it! Used the following installation manuals - https://devconnected.com/how-to-install ... s-in-2019/ (but the InfluxDB service was not installed by autorun via NSSM, so I just copied it to Start-all autorun programs and now it starts, though not in the background ...)
Then I installed Grafana and then for another 3-4 days I compiled it all into a heap. Setting it all up somehow like this - https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest ... ata-source.
In an intermediate version, I used the article - viewtopic.php?f=21&t=35101&p=270521#p270521, but I was not satisfied with the data recording interval - all the same 7 days with overwriting the time exactly 7 days ago.
In the end, I came to the result that I wanted to have !!! Now my Domoticz database through Influx DB and Grafana is collected in tables and graphs + stored for a long time (as far as the computer allows). I attach a photo of the result below + learned how to make backups in Grafana so that you can restore everything!
The essence of my answer - who wants to find - will find, if he looks well !!! You can do it, read it - do it. But, of course, it would be nice if this was implemented in the program itself. On the other hand, I understand Waaren and thank you for such a good product-constructor Domoticz!

Yes, and one more question not in this topic, but very important and simple for you - Domotics shows that I do not have Python installed. I downloaded it separately and installed it successfully, but the program shows that it is not and is not present !!! And everything seems to work. What kind of glitch could it be? System - Windows. For some reason, I can't attach a photo anymore ...
