Beginner question regarding rules

Setup, Configuration and Use Scripts & Rules
1

Hi,

i am starting with scripts and rules. Wanted to start with some basic things like logging something every minute into a log file. Here is my rule called test.rules

rule "Test"

when

    Time is cron "0 0/1 * 1/1 * ? *"

then 

    logInfo("test.rules", "This is a log entry of type Info!")

end

I am wondering in which file that is being logged. Well i found the logging documentation but to be honest i am a bit confused if i have to add something to the logging.cfg or not. In my /var/log/openhab2 folder i only have the aduit, events and the openhab log files.

So what am i missing?

you should write like this (remove the “is”):

Time cron "0 * * * * ?"

and then your log-text should be written to openhab.log. if you are working with openhabian then frontail should be installed automatically, then type in browser

http://openhab:9001/

and you can follow the log there :wink:

Thanks works now.
