Am I OK to alter the number of lines in the logs.lua file to increase the size of logs before rotation? I've got 71G of free SSD 0.1 days of run time is a trifle limiting

Cheers

Yes, it was an arbitrary limit.

All you need is a one-liner in the Lua Startup Code.

[CatmanV2]

OK, that's something I've never done. I may be back.....

Only to report what appears to be success. Also updated my long and lat and City

OK not quite success. Although Openluup has reloaded and I see this in the conosle:

LuaUpnp.log is still rotating after 2000 lines.

What idiocy have I perpetrated now?

This says 20,000. Is that what you set it to?

[CatmanV2]

It was. About 10 times what the original value was (it was 2000)

Currently 2000 is rotating every 20-30 minutes while I'm messing. Longest I had was 9 hours from 2200 last night to about 0700 this morning.

Unless there's a really good reason I'd like about a day to a log....

Well, interesting...

The openLuup/logs.lua file hasn't been updated since March, 2018. Although the infrastructure is there to selected file sizes, rotations, etc., at startup time, it's not used!

As a workaround, you can simply patch the numbers that you find at the start of that file (lines 47-50):

-- openLuup configuration options:
local Logfile         = "logs/LuaUPnP.log"  -- full path to log file
local LogfileLines    = 2000                -- number of logfile lines before rotation
local LogfileVersions = 5                   -- number of versions to retain

I'll add that to the "must fix" list!

Apologies,

AK

[CatmanV2]

Never a need to apologise!

But you are going to hate me: my first attempt was....

-- openLuup configuration options:
local Logfile         = "logs/LuaUPnP.log"  -- full path to log file
local LogfileLines    = 20000                -- number of logfile lines before rotation
local LogfileVersions = 5                   -- number of versions to retain

local StartupLogfile  = "logs/LuaUPnP_startup.log"

--[[

Which I have not reverted......

You're saying that doesn't work?

[CatmanV2]

I'm loathe to say it doesn't work as mostly It's luser error but I have (currently)
local LogfileLines = 20000
in my lua.logs file
and what you see in the console above and my logs rotating quite frequently

I can’t help noticing that the most recent ones are an order of magnitude larger than the earlier ones...?

A fair shout, sir. However I made the changes rather earlier than those. I've been messing with some settings and you get a rotation each reload

Hah! How do you think I feel hanging around with people that understand code

Like a bloody drummer, that's what!
