log ebus messages to a log file using An ebusd add-on

[FrigerioSergio]

Home Assistant integration [An ebusd add-on] (https://community.home-assistant.io/t/an-ebusd-add-on/344852)

I do not understand how to save the full ebus message log to a a file.......

Any suggestion?

Try adding this to your config:

--logfile=/config/ebusd/ebusd.log

Hello, i did not get any file....

This is what I have done:

This is what I got in the configuration YAML:

This is the EBUSD register:

Any Idea? Thanks!

[tim-devel]

Ah, it's because the add-on doesnt have write access to that folder. I'll do a new release of the add-on with write access enabled

Just tested and logfile option only works in deamon mode. Ebusd runs in foreground in the addon

Ok thanks!

if started in foreground, there is indeed no log file as everathing is written to stdout/stderr. using docker logs would allow saving the output to a file. maybe HA already allows downloading the output from UI or if not such a feature might be helpful for other supervised containers as well and someone might want to add a feature request to HA?

Ah superdooper !
Since today, there is an update, writing S6 Logs into /config (can be configured directly via AddOn)

Thank You so much!
