Hi @toggledbits !!

Would it be possible to improve the error messages, and instead of showing the "technical name", show the name we assigned to the rule?

In the above case, I have no idea what rule is causing the problem.

Thanks.

[toggledbits]

In this case, no, because the parent rule would have the name, and since the parent rule doesn't exist, there's no way to know what its name is/was.

[therealdb]

May I suggest a way to deep link or search for rules? Sometimes I just look inside the storage files, but something in the ui will definitely be easier.

[wmarcolin]

I looked in the reactor/storage/rules directory by the name that appears, and there is no file.
I looked in the UI Rule Sets folders and there is nothing without a defined name.
Any other recommendations?

I would second @therealdb 's ask about a UI-based way to search by the rulename. I realize that can be gleaned from the logs and tied back to the friendly name - just not always convenient to log dive.

[toggledbits]

I'm guessing it's a global reaction that is running the (now deleted) rule's reset reaction.

@toggledbits

Or is it not the name of a group within a rule?

[toggledbits]

Nope. Not a group.

Since the problem happened again today at the same time, I searched the log for the information, and what I found (line 3) is something that really doesn't make sense to me.

I don't know if this helps at all? Any actions I can take to generate more research material?

Suggestion: would it be possible to put a log reader in Tools? something simple, just open the file and show it on the screen.

Thanks.

Have you queried prior logs to see if the friendly name surfaces? When you look at AC Guest On/Off<RESET> what does it show for the actions to take? The log says that's what's missing.

[wmarcolin]

@gwp1

No, the name only appears on this line, I have already searched through all the logs file, and opened yesterday's, and it is the same message.

The rules that are executed before and after this log, are being executed without problem, the actions happen.

At 9am, I have a rule that:

1. performs a refresh of Life360 users, and looking at the logs it succeeds;
2. Then I turn off all the AC in the house, call a Reactions, which performs an OFF command for 5 devices;
3. Then I trigger another Reaction to turn off some tomasdas, simple command OFF the device.

And as I commented, the rule runs in this interval from 9am to about 9:05am everything is executed.

Thanks,

AC Guest On/Off<RESET>

Does that ruleset have Reactions that might have a missing ruleset within them?

[toggledbits]

@gwp1 That is the correct question.

[wmarcolin]

@toggledbits and @gwp1

To make sure that this rule that I'm executing is generating the problem, I changed the execution time to 11:00am (16:00:00 LOG), and the error repeated again, so one way to investigate.

[latest-22308]2022-11-17T16:20:02.235Z <Engine:ERR> [Engine]Engine#1 can't queue reaction rule-kzyree85:R, rule rule-kzyree85 not found

Running each of the steps I found the location of the error.

Super thanks for the support and ideas, problem solved.

Now, not wanting to minimize my stupidity, @toggledbits this case that is a Reaction used within a Rule, would there be a possibility that Alerts would then show the name? Something like that?

This situation was in a way easy to solve, because the rule has daily execution at the same time, thus searching the huge logs by time we could create the search path, now if it was a randomly executed rule it would be much more difficult.

Thanks a lot to everyone anyway!

Complementing information, this is the mother rule, and that on the second line of the Set Reaction called the Reaction that had the error I presented above.
