Release Notes for Scribe v3.2.10 production version now available [2026-Feb-16] 1) FIXED: Bug fix in the code that searches for the full paths of all filtered log files. For example, the following entry, which is syntactically valid in a syslog-ng configuration file, would generate an error...

Release Notes for uiScribe v1.4.12 production version now available [2026-Feb-16] 1) FIXED: Bug fix in the code that searches for the full paths of all filtered log files. For example, the following entry, which is syntactically valid in a syslog-ng configuration file, would generate an error...

Given all your results with the "old" MerlinAU syslog entries (*before* the 1.5.9 version), I became very curious to find out what was really going on, so I ran some debugging tests with syslog-ng, and it turned out that you were absolutely correct. When the log entry has a header tag with the...

If I'm understanding your setup, it should work as described - assuming that the subnet mask (e.g. 255.255.255.0) defined for the subnet in question includes the range of IP addresses you're talking about. As an example, I have one router configuration where the first 29 IP addresses (i.e. *.2...

The above log entries were generated by the previously installed MerlinAU script (i.e. *before* the 1.5.9 version update). You will likely need to review and rework your syslog-ng configuration settings when filtering the slightly modified log entries starting from MerlinAU 1.5.9 version; then...

Ah, OK, my apologies. I should have made it clear in the release notes (as I did when the v3.2.9 BETA development version was issued) that you must run the following 2 commands even if the BETA version was never installed: /jffs/scripts/scribe stable /jffs/scripts/scribe forceupdate The reason...

Could you both post the "/opt/etc/syslog-ng.conf" file that was installed with the latest v3.2.9 production release update? The latest version of the configuration file has a "2026-Feb-01" date stamp at the top of its header, and the critical changes are in the "source src" statement (see the...

Release Notes for Scribe v3.2.9 production version now available [2026-Feb-07] 1) IMPROVED: Modified code to be able to filter the initial log messages generated during the reboot process when syslog-ng has not yet been started. 2) IMPROVED: Modified code regarding the UI messages to be clear...

@thelonelycoder, A cousin of mine was having some issues with Diversion after installing the latest 5.4.6 version about 3 weeks ago, so he asked me to take a look. After reviewing his setup and double-checking the 'dnsmasq.conf' file, I found out that when enabling dnsmasq logging, some dnsmasq...

I don't like changing the original timestamps of the log entries, especially in situations where I'm trying to troubleshoot/debug issues occurring during the reboot sequence. IMO, the "dawn-of-time" timestamps (before NTP is started) make it extremely fast and easy to find when/where any reboot...

Well, according to the original code written by @cmkelley, updates are not allowed when in that state. Frankly, I don't know the exact reason(s) for it. The original code has a very explicit check for syslog-ng running before any script update is allowed to start, so I can only assume @cmkelley...

Thank you for testing and providing feedback. Glad the latest code is working well for you. You can find the initial description of the 2 problems I was trying to address in post #141. Essentially, during the reboot process, there is a deluge of log messages that get generated while all the...

Ah, OK. Yes, that's definitely intentional and the original behavior set by @cmkelley. When syslog-ng is not running, the main menu options are trimmed down to only what's considered essential or useful at that point.

Release Notes for Scribe v3.2.9_26013023 BETA Development Version [2026-Jan-31] 1) IMPROVED: Modified code to be able to filter the initial log messages generated during the reboot process when syslog-ng has not yet been started. 2) IMPROVED: Modified code regarding the UI messages to make...

Based on the syslog-ng documentation that I've been reading over the past few weeks (which, admittedly, is a small fraction of what's available online), Scribe is only scratching the surface of the quite extensive functionality and options currently available on syslog-ng 4.7 version, so I don't...
