Because the rotation happens at 500MB (IIRC) and with DEBUG enabled, that does not equate to very long. Also, by default, there is only one iteration.
It does. It uses the ‘standard’ logging package built into Python.
Yes you do keep saying that and I keep saying it is an option that has previously been discussed at length (as you can see by searching) and we have made a decision not to go that route because:
- The internal logging mechanism works perfectly well for 99.9% of cases. It is a proven solution.
- Journald/syslog requires additional system setup that can (and has) caused problems in the past (search the forum for the problems).
Additional logging is only needed occasionally. On those rare occasions, if there was an easy method for a user to be asked to produced some enhanced logs (i.e. change an option in the emonhub.cfg), then that would be very useful.
Changing how logging is done is not up for discussion.
