Hi,
In OH3 is a different default configuration compared to OH2.5 for the logging so that there are no entries in events.log. This configuration is located in userdata/etc/log4j2.xml.
I tried different settings in Karaf for OH 3.1.0.M2, e.g.
log:set INFO ROOT and
log:set INFO openhab.event.AddonEvent
But this seems to affect only openhab.log, but not events.log.
Could you tell me how to enable INFO for events?
Thank you.
Hi,
You can try this:
And this:
Thank you Dirk,
The solutions seem to be not applicable. Both solutions talk about “smarthome” but “smarthome” is not mentioned in my log4j2.xml
Maybe you can post your log4j2.xml file so that we can compare it to a working system?
sure

what is the content of your /var/lib/openhab/etc/org.ops4j.pax.logging.cfg file ?
Content needs to be:
org.ops4j.pax.logging.log4j2.config.file=${karaf.etc}/log4j2.xml
Yes, I’ve the same content Wolfgang_S
I made some progress, when changing the row
<Logger level="DEBUG" name="openhab.event.ItemStateEvent"/>
to
<Logger level="TRACE" name="openhab.event.ItemStateEvent"/>
events.log shows the according item state events.
But unfortunately not very legible.
2021-03-07 17:02:19.178 [TRACE] [openhab.event.ItemStateEvent ] - Received event of type 'ItemStateEvent' under the topic 'openhab/items/Solar1_Current/state' with payload: '{"type":"Decimal","value":"0.094"}'
2021-03-07 17:02:19.179 [TRACE] [openhab.event.ItemStateEvent ] - Received event of type 'ItemStateEvent' under the topic 'openhab/items/Solar1_Power/state' with payload: '{"type":"Decimal","value":"12"}'
2021-03-07 17:02:19.180 [TRACE] [openhab.event.ItemStateEvent ] - Received event of type 'ItemStateEvent' under the topic 'openhab/items/Solar1_Voltage/state' with payload: '{"type":"Decimal","value":"230"}'
I would prefer to have the same style we had in OH2.5 events.log, e.g.
2021-03-07 17:04:19.181 [vent.ItemStateChangedEvent] - Solar1_Power changed from 11 to 10
2021-03-07 17:04:19.182 [vent.ItemStateChangedEvent] - Solar1_Voltage changed from 229 to 230
2021-03-07 17:04:19.182 [vent.ItemStateChangedEvent] - Solar1_Current changed from 0.091 to 0.08
2021-03-07 17:04:42.476 [vent.ItemStateChangedEvent] - MHIACCtrl_OutdoorTemperature changed from 8.2 to 8.0
I assume it is related to the “smarthome” entries in OH2.5 org.ops4j.pax.logging.cfg, but my trials using these “smarthome” entries in log4j2.xml had no effect. Not sure if “smarthome” still exists in OH3.
I would appreciate further ideas.
smarthome is changed to openhab in OH3.
