I’ve seen in a couple of posts where people have posted screenshots of what looks like a nice graphical log viewer. I’m struggling to see what’s what when using the built in viewer as everything scrolls so quickly. Could someone tell me how to install this please?

That is probably Chris’s Zwave or Zigbee binding log viewer . That is just a web site and it only works with logs from those two bindings. They are not for generic openHAB logs or logs from other bindings.

Many people use the frontail log viewer that can easily be installed as part of OpenHABian.

Could you point to an example? Beyond Frontail which I assume is what you are referring to as the built in one, all the screen shots I’m aware of are using tail -f on the command line. A few are using [multitail] color scheme for openhab logs . For example: [image] The above screenshot shows openh…

I assumed they meant displaying the text in a graphical interface, not converting words to graphics.

[image] rlkoshak: Could you point to an example? I can’t find it now :frowning: It had text down the left of the screen and then columns of coloured blocks. It looked a bit like Node Red but in strict rows and columns… or that kids’ coding platform Scratch.

I think that might be it. I just found an example: [image] Zwave latency ith sending commands Bindings Just migrating to OH2.4 and while performing some initial tests “on the bench” with power plugs I experienced very long delays ( > 10 seconds ) when swithin…

Another way to see your logs in a nice graphical interface is this: [image] Logging to Filebeat + Elasticsearch + Kibana Tutorials & Examples This tutorial walks you through setting up OpenHab, Filebeat and Elasticsearch to enable viewing OpenHab logs in Kiban…

This may be a little off topic, but my frontail is a docker installation that works well with OH events.log and openhab.log. is it possible for it to also stream the log from zigbee2mqtt( from a completely different directory)? If so how do I add that to my docker setup?

Likely but this is not a frontail forum. We are not experts in configuring that.

You’ll need to look at the instructions for that container and for Frontail itself. In general, you’ll need to mount the log file(s) into the container and configure Frontail to follow it.
