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.

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.
