Eventlog not recording

[TypQxQ]

I haven't had my log file log anything for ages. Unsure if it ever logged anything other than "Event logging started".
Using RRF 3.2-beta3.2 (I've made some mechanical changes I want to see work before upgrading to b4.1) on a 6HC+3HC+SBC.

M929 P"eventlog.txt" S3
M118 S"Hello Logfile- deb" L3
M118 S"Hello Logfile- info" L2
M118 S"Hello Logfile- warn" L1

Nothing logged.

I tried, disabling log, delete and enable logging but still nothing gets logged.

I don't think the event log is supported like that when in SBC mode.
Most things are logged to syslog in /var/log/

I did suspect something like that and did doublecheck the documentation and couldn't find anything about that. Would be great to somehow have access to it trough the web interface.

@TypQxQ said in Eventlog not recording:

Agreed.

Maybe add to the documentation of M929 that although it seems to work, it doesn't.

@TypQxQ The intention for 3.2 is to restore M929 functionality.

@Phaedrux I see that should have been fixed in DSF 3.2.0-b1:
"Event logging via M929 was not working"

Running 3.2RC2 and it still does not log anything usefull:

2020-12-22 09:18:49 Event logging stopped
2020-12-22 09:19:36 Event logging started
2020-12-22 09:24:20 Event logging stopped
2020-12-23 15:41:13 Event logging started
2020-12-27 16:55:38 Event logging stopped
2020-12-27 16:56:44 Event logging started
2020-12-27 16:57:12 Event logging stopped
2020-12-27 17:00:27 Event logging started

Can you try logging to a file name?

@Phaedrux I have it setup as "M929 P"eventlog.txt" S3" in my config file.
Apparently the S3 does not work and S1 and S2 are switched to what the documentation states.

2020-12-28 00:26:56	M929

2020-12-28 00:26:52	M929 P"eventlog.txt" S0

M929 S1 works without problems for me. Note that I entered M118 and accidentally hit return, so I got an error which went into the log. Then I sent M118 S"Hello" L1 and again it was logged:

2020-12-30 19:21:47 Event logging started
2020-12-30 19:22:09 Error: M118: missing parameter 'S'
2020-12-30 19:22:14 Hello

But thanks for pointing out that M929 S3 isn't working, I'll fix that in the next build.

@chrishamm Thank you!
Please also note that the log level of S1 and S2 are reversed to what is stated in Gcode documentation.
