uiScribe uiScribe - Custom System Log page for "scribed" logs

[L&LD]

Either, run

/jffs/scripts/uiScribe

to confirm, or, simply go the GUI to check.

hm it is not installing for me ... miss i something ?

[Jack Yaz]

There's a chance I goofed and didn't print a success message

EDIT: I did fixed now: https://github.com/jackyaz/uiScribe/commit/cd90d06ccb14440efe6999919f1be55d230b7cb8

I hid these as I wasn't sure what impact, if any, the settings had when running through syslog-ng. @cmkelley do you know if the settings still apply?

I don't know for sure. In theory all logs regardless of level are passed to the logger (syslog-ng or syslog) which decides based on its configuration what to log where. The configuration can use the log level to decide what to put where.

But I don't know if the custom Asus kernel filters by log level before sending logs to the logger.

I can re-expose the logger settings if anyone wants to give it a go?

You have to have set up the Diversion filter for scribe (more specifically syslog-ng)

The html elements are still on the page, you should just need to remove the display:none

I'll unhide them in an update later

I can imagine how the page would look if I had 30 or more filters......

@Jack Yaz

You are slowly taking over the GUI..

What is going to be the next adventure... ScriMerlin with a database with all the possible examlpes writable to /opt for ease of use ?

 

[Jack Yaz]

1. I think it is a safe assumption that all logs would be pointed to /opt/var/log. I don't know why some of these blocks are referring to /var/log.
2. It is not a safe assumption that all logs end in .log, but I think it is a good practice to enforce. Messages, for example, doesn't end in .log, and there is nothing that guides someone to define a destination file as including it (I have a file called startupmessages, for example, which is the syslog.log file up to killing syslogd and starting syslog-ng). I'm assuming this way you can ignore the rotated logs, compressed or not. We also have the dnsmasq.log created by diversion; I have a collectd.log file.
3. I do not have a number of other logs that are not relevant to me: the wlcevent log, the crash log or netdata logs.

0.3.0 should handle this better (hopefully)

 

[Jack Yaz]

0.3.0 is out, uiScribe should now handle those with non .log or /opt/var/log file destinations

For now, for people to test if those settings affect syslog-ng or not

 

[Swistheater]

@L&LD
I made myself JFFS backups with install script that has each applicable filter I may ever use-(pending for additions if i decide). so if i was to ever redo my whole package setup i can just SH everything into existence.
Though I would gladly try any script that has an archive of filters packaged into one.

A small request for v1.0.

Could the sections be shown minimized when the page is selected?
