Re: [weewx-development] weewx v4 need for syslog daemon

May I please put a hand way up for default file-based logging? This would be wonderful for MacOS X. The log viewed through the standard “Console” in MacOS X is chock full and terrible. A dedicated file would make troubleshooting so much cleaner. (/var/log is a common spot in MacOS X but weewx a

Re: [weewx-development] weewx v4 need for syslog daemon

FWIW, I have been using phusion/baseimage as a base for my Docker builds and it pipes syslog to stdout by default - that works fine for me. That said, I think it would be better if weewx were to log to stdout by default since it is kind of the defau

Re: [weewx-development] weewx v4 need for syslog daemon

What I had in mind was to trim the syslog handler out of the default weeutil.logger.LOGGING_STR, and, instead, put it in weewx.conf. You'd end up in the same place, but not without risk. The problem is that the installer would have to patch old weewx.conf files, inserting the syslog handler. If th

[weewx-development] Somewhat OT - Split RTL_433 data

Here’s a question (and a bit of background, I’m an “old school” guy, and redundant ANYTHING makes me less than happy). I have a bunch of “things”, mostly around Home Automation, that emit 433Mhz signals with data that I’d like to capture (the immediate things are Accurite Sensors for our tw

Re: [weewx-development] weewx v4 need for syslog daemon

Fair enough, but before I go implementing this... did it work? Did my workaround disable syslog thoroughly enough that you could get started? -tk On Mon, May 18, 2020 at 4:21 PM Tom Mitchell wrote: > I like this idea a lot - maybe it could be stdout. I would also love to > not depend on a runni
