Logging into separate File and see it in log:tail

[kleiner-irrer]

• openHAB version: 2.5.0 M1

Hi,
I managed to log “logInfo” from rules into a separate File, but since that logging is active I don’t see the info by using log:tail in the console.
How do I send it into the File and see it in log:tail for live debugging?

Thank you

This is the code I used in org.ops4j.pax.logging.cfg:

# Info Logger
log4j2.logger.Info.name = org.eclipse.smarthome.model.script
log4j2.logger.Info.level = INFO
log4j2.logger.Info.additivity = false
log4j2.logger.Info.appenderRefs = Info
log4j2.logger.Info.appenderRef.Info.ref = Info

# Info Appender
log4j2.appender.Info.name = Info
log4j2.appender.Info.type = RollingRandomAccessFile
log4j2.appender.Info.fileName = /var/log/openhab2/Info.log
log4j2.appender.Info.filePattern = /var/log/openhab2/Info.log.%i
log4j2.appender.Info.immediateFlush = true
log4j2.appender.Info.append = true
log4j2.appender.Info.layout.type = PatternLayout
log4j2.appender.Info.layout.pattern = %d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%-5.5p] [%-36.36c] - %m%n
log4j2.appender.Info.policies.type = Policies
log4j2.appender.Info.policies.size.type = SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy
log4j2.appender.Info.policies.size.size = 10MB
log4j2.appender.Info.strategy.type = DefaultRolloverStrategy
log4j2.appender.Info.strategy.max = 10

Try reading thru this Topic:

openHAB - Filtering event logs

Simple string filtering on the event log. Useful for filtering out high change items that don’t need constant log visibility. Re-posting this as it’s own thread on the recommendation of other members. I also recommend reading Taming openHAB 2 Logging and Log4j2 Sample Config which this was based on. Log configuration data using openhabian-pi is stored in the following file. Location may vary under other installation methods. /srv/openhab2-userdata/etc/org.ops4j.pax.logging.cfg openHAB using …

If you still have issues let me know and I’ll try to help. Gotta log out for now, still have Christmas stuff to do.
