daemon.log full

[huwylphi]

Hi,

I'm using node-red-smartpi to read the Smartpi values and publish them over MQTT with a custom payload.
Everything works great except that node-red is filling up the /var/log/daemon.log file.

I tried to disable logging in the /home/smartpi/.node-red/settings.js file but after restarting the node-red service, I can still see new entries every seconds like:

Feb 8 11:16:19 smartpi Node-RED[505448]: Values: 2023-02-08 11:16:19,0,0,0,0,240,240,240,0,0,0,1,1,1,50.039093041438626,49.951219512195124,49.96096799375488,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,

The tmpfs filesystem where /var/log in mounted on is set to 50MB and is full very quickly.
How can I disable such logging?

Hi, I have removed the console.log outputs in node-red nodes. Try the new version from: ***@***.***/node-red-smartpi Mit freundlichen Grüßen Jens Ramhorst

Hello,

thanks for that quick response.
I just updated to version 0.1.7 and can confirm that these logs are not written to the daemon.log file anymore.
You can close the issue if you wish, many thanks 👍

PS:

1. my node-red flow is intended for home-assistant with MQTT auto-discovery. See following snapshot:
   

Maybe I could share that example somehow since I think it might help other people using home-assistant?

2. while implementing that flow, I noticed that the consume counter and produce counter respectively from the files /var/smartpi/consumecounter and /var/smartpi/producecounter were not available nor in the smartpi-values nor in the smartpi-input. So I added a watch on these files and read the content when the file changed, then join the value in my final payload to publish.
   Would it make sens that, instead of manually reading the files, rather include these two values / logic in the existing smartpi-values and smartpi-input?

3. other missing values are power-total and current-total not included in the smartpi-values

Hello Philippe, if that's OK, send me the example. I would then put it here on Github. Regarding the counters, I'll take this as a suggestion for improvement. I will also integrate the other values. Mit freundlichen Grüßen Jens Ramhorst

Hi Jens,

that's great! So once the other values are included, probably we can simplify the node-red flow.

Find my current flow.json in the attachment

flows.zip

Edit: I've replaced the flow.zip file by anonymizing some MQTT connection string...

[nD-enerserve]

I have added
p total, i total, ep total, ec total.

There is now a subdirectory examples, where examples and exampleflows are collected.

Hi,

this is nice, thanks. I've updated the home assistance node-red flow example to work with v0.2.4:

• simplified node-red flow by removing fetching of single values for p total and i total since now included in all values
• included ep total and ec total in MQTT published payload

This is included in the PR#2

Kind regards
