    Colors in the Log

    Reading through my log every once in a while to see that things are as they should be, I notice some lines in different colors. If an error has occurred it's usually in RED, standard log seems to be in black text.

    Every once in a while I'll see things in a sort of beige color, mostly when something is in trial mode. I have one event that works fine, runs great, but is always in that same sort of beige color, just that one event, so I'm curious.

    Does anyone know what the different colors in the log are trying to indicate? Is it documented somewhere? It does draw my attention so I assume that I'm supposed to take note of it, now if only i knew why?

    I think I remember reading somewhere that the word 'error' anywhere in the text will cause it to be RED. The word 'warning' would be yellow. Not sure about the beige/trial mode...

      I suppose the color i'm seeing could be considered yellow. That does make me wonder. The name of the event is "ten minute warning" I wonder if just the name "warning in the event could cause the log to note it running or being edited in that yellow color?

      Edit:

      I changed the name of the event from "ten minute warning" to "ten minute notice" and now the event runs like everything else. Seems the name "warning" in the event will trigger that yellow color. Cool, another mystery by the wayside.

        yep - thought I had read that right somewhere. There might even be some additional 'easter eggs' in the log viewer we dont know about

          In most of my vb.net scripts that write information to the Homeseer log, I usually write them in blue or red text. That way they are much easier to find when looking through the log. To make log entries in color just include the HTML meta tags in the string. For example:

          HTML Code:
          hs.writelog ("<font color=red>Back Door", "<font color=red><b>OPEN</b></font>")
          which appears as:

          hs.writelog ("Back Door", "OPEN")

            What a cool Idea, it sure would make finding my self induced errrors easier to track down.

              wow - I had forgotten about inline styles. I guess since the log file can be viewed in a browser, you could, theoretically, apply any style you want. Thanks for the tip, steve!
