Logger Component
|

================

:description: Instructions for setting up the central logging component in esphomelib.

||
:image: file-document-box.png
|
||
|
||
The logger component automatically logs all log messages through the
|
||
serial port and through MQTT topics. By default, all logs with a
|
||
severity higher than ``DEBUG`` will be shown. Decreasing the log level
|
||
can help with the performance of the application and memory size.
|
||
|
||
.. code-block:: yaml
|
||
|
||
# Example configuration entry
|
||
logger:
|
||
level: DEBUG
|
||
|
||
Configuration variables:
|
||
------------------------
|
||
|
||
- **baud_rate** (*Optional*, int): The baud rate to use for the serial
|
||
UART port. Defaults to ``115200``. Set to ``0`` to disable logging via UART.
|
||
- **tx_buffer_size** (*Optional*, string): The size of the buffer used
|
||
for log messages. Decrease this if you’re having memory problems.
|
||
Defaults to 512.
|
||
- **level** (*Optional*, string): The global log level. Any log message
|
||
with a lower severity will not be shown. Defaults to DEBUG.
|
||
- **logs** (*Optional*, mapping): Manually set the log level for a
|
||
specific component or tag. See :ref:`Manual Log Levels for more
|
||
information <logger-manual_tag_specific_levels>`.
|
||
- **id** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-id`): Manually specify the ID used for code generation.
|
||
|
||
.. _logger-log_levels:
|
||
|
||
Log Levels
|
||
----------
|
||
|
||
Possible log levels are (sorted by severity):
|
||
|
||
- ``NONE``
|
||
|
||
- No messages are logged.
|
||
|
||
- ``ERROR``
|
||
|
||
- With this log level, only errors are logged. Errors are issues that prevent the ESP from working
|
||
correctly. Color: red
|
||
|
||
- ``WARN``
|
||
|
||
- With this log level, warnings and errors are logged. Warnings are issues like invalid readings from
|
||
sensors that esphomelib can recover from. Color: yellow
|
||
|
||
- ``INFO``
|
||
|
||
- With this log level, everything up to info messages are logged; so errors, warnings and info. Color: green
|
||
|
||
- ``DEBUG`` (**Default**)
|
||
|
||
- Everything up to this log level is logged. Debug messages include the current readings from a sensor
|
||
and status messages. Color: cyan
|
||
|
||
- ``VERBOSE``
|
||
|
||
- Like debug, but a few more messages that are usually deemed to be spam are also included. Color: grey
|
||
|
||
- ``VERY_VERBOSE``
|
||
|
||
- All internal messages are logged. Including all the data flowing through data buses like
|
||
i2c, spi or uart. Color: white
|
||
|
||
.. _logger-manual_tag_specific_levels:
|
||
|
||
Manual Tag-Specific Log Levels
|
||
------------------------------
|
||
|
||
If some component is spamming the logs and you want to manually set the
|
||
log level for it, first identify the tag of the log messages in question
|
||
and then disable them in your configuration.
|
||
|
||
Suppose we want to have verbose log messages globally, but the MQTT
|
||
client spams too much. In the following example, we’d first see that the
|
||
tag of the MQTT client is ``mqtt.client`` (before the first colon) and
|
||
the tag for MQTT components is ``mqtt.component``.
|
||
|
||
.. figure:: images/logger-manual_log_level.png
|
||
|
||
Next, we can manually set the log levels in the configuration like this:
|
||
|
||
.. code-block:: yaml
|
||
|
||
logger:
|
||
level: VERBOSE
|
||
logs:
|
||
mqtt.component: DEBUG
|
||
mqtt.client: ERROR
|
||
|
||
Please note that the global log level determines what log messages are
|
||
saved in the binary. So for example a ``INFO`` global log message will
|
||
purge all ``DEBUG`` log statements from the binary in order to conserve
|
||
space. This however means that you cannot set tag-specific log levels
|
||
that have a lower severity than the global log level.
|
||
|
||
.. _logger-log_action:
|
||
|
||
``logger.log`` Action
|
||
---------------------
|
||
|
||
Print a formatted message to the logs.
|
||
|
||
In the ``format`` option, you can use ``printf``-style formatting (see :ref:`display-printf`).
|
||
|
||
.. code-block:: yaml
|
||
|
||
on_...:
|
||
then:
|
||
- logger.log: "Hello World"
|
||
|
||
# Formatted:
|
||
- logger.log:
|
||
format: "The temperature sensor reports value %.1f and humidity %.1f"
|
||
args: [ 'id(temperature_sensor).state', 'id(humidity_sensor).state' ]
|
||
|
||
Configuration options:
|
||
|
||
- **format** (**Required**, string): The format for the message in :ref:`printf-style <display-printf>`.
|
||
- **args** (*Optional*, list of :ref:`lambda <config-lambda>`): The optional arguments for the
|
||
format message.
|
||
- **level** (*Optional*, string): The :ref:`log level <logger-log_levels>` to print the message
|
||
with. Defaults to ``DEBUG``.
|
||
- **tag** (*Optional*, string): The tag (seen in front of the message in the logs) to print the message
|
||
with. Defaults to ``main``.
