Tail logs ?

[emiliosic]

Hello,

I'm having a problem where the Z-Wave interface stops working at least once a day with this error:
UZB: The UZB interface did not respond to the request for the controller capabilities - it may be disconnected or malfunctioning (3).

Support has been mostly un-helpful, and unwilling to do much because it's running on Linux.

So I thought I could run a script and if it detects to or more of these errors in sequence, restart HS3.
However the log appears to be an SQLite database, not plain text.
Any ideas on how to handle the log in this case?

Thanks!

I use UltraLog3 plug-in for monitoring and archiving the log. There are built in triggers that can be used in events to perform any action. Jon00 and Blade also have a log monitoring script and plug-in.

You can also utilize tail -f relating to the hardware interface bypassing the mono interface just to check on the hardware for disconnects.

tail -f dmesg

Recently been doing more with my ZNet like RPi2 - GPIO ZWave dot me card combo 1-wire hub such that I am watching the hardware for disconnects.

Ultralog3 looks great but I'm not ready to buy it yet to try solving an internal stability issue with HS3.
Could you please point me to the scripts? I've been looking at the script programming documentation but the section about log is a bit light and I'm not that familiar with VB.Net or C# scripting

I run HS3 in a Linux "screen" session. For instance, start HS3 like this:

cd /HomeSeer
su -c "/usr/bin/screen -S $NAME -L -d -m ./go" $USER

Substiture $NAME for the name of the session and $USER for the user you want HS3 to use.

A simple grep statement checking screenlog.0 that runs every 10 minutes from cron makes it possible to take action on certain log entries.

Also, screen makes reconnecting to the HS3 console very easy, even between SSH sessions.

You can try the plug-in for 30 days without purchasing. The reason I use Ultra's is the long term log storage in a separate database is handy.

Jon00 has a script here:

He doesn't charge for scripts, but he does appreciate and deserve a donation if you find them useful.

tail -f dmesg

You mean

dmesg | tail -f

?

Thank you zwolfpack

I noticed that on Linux, Homeseer streams its logs to syslog, so wrote a shell script that kills the mono processes when it counts multiple z-wave failures.
