Release Notes for uiScribe v1.4.11 production version now available [2026-Jan-12] - Improvements in the display of CLI menus. IMPORTANT: - Installation of Scribe v3.2.6 (or later) version is required so that all calls to logrotate from both Scribe and uiScribe can be coordinated and managed...

Just an observation: starting with Scribe v3.2.6 production release, it's no longer necessary to create a logrotate configuration file for each filtered logfile unless you want to override the global defaults set in the "/opt/etc/logrotate.d/A01global" file. And if you do create a configuration...

Release Notes for Scribe v3.2.7 BETA Development Version [BETA v3.2.7_26011122] [2026-Jan-12] 1) FIXED: When the call to Scribe found in the '/jffs/scripts/unmount' script was made *after* the Entware services had been stopped, it failed to properly reset and put back the system log files so...

On Saturday evening, I started to take a much closer look at the 2 major junctions when a router running Scribe transitions from using the built-in system loggers (klogd and syslogd) to running syslog-ng (when Entware services are started after the USB-attached drive is mounted), and vice versa...

Yeah, early on when I started maintaining the add-on, I noticed that behavior too but since that code doesn't cause (and AFAIK, hasn't caused) any errors or issues with ntpMerlin itself, I just decided to leave that code alone, especially since I didn't (and I still don't) know all the reason(s)...

Once you have created the configuration file and placed it in the "/opt/etc/syslog-ng.d" directory, go to the Scribe CLI menu and select to restart syslog-ng ('rs' option). Then go to "su) scribe utilities" menu and select the "lc) Show loaded syslog-ng config" option to double-check that your...

This is only speculation, but perhaps @cmkelley ran into some scenario(s) where one or both of the system loggers (i.e. klogd & syslogd) were not shutting down completely after being killed, so he had to introduce a delay to double-check and make sure they were both fully gone before proceeding...

Release Notes for spdMerlin v4.4.17 production version now available [2026-Jan-06] 1) FIXED: In some rare scenarios, the setting for the automatic speed test schedule was "missing" from the configuration file, so the value could no longer be modified by the user. 2) FIXED: In some situations...

My initial suggestion would be to first clearly define the syntax that the input field will accept as valid entries. 1) Define the keywords to be used as valid boolean operators. Examples: all upper cases OR, AND, NOT (??). 2) Define the basic syntax of the boolean expressions that the input...

The path of the built-in system log file is obtained during initial installation, and it gets stored in a configuration file for future retrieval. The "kill_logger()" function knows about and has access to this configuration file, but it also has code to figure out the path on its own, just in...

FYI, There's a new 'develop' branch v3.2.7_26010323 version for Scribe that includes 3-hour and 4-hour intervals for the logrotate crob job schedule. If the log file grows too large before the 6-hour interval is reached, you can try a lower interval...

FYI, There's a new 'develop' branch v3.2.7_26010323 version that includes 3-hour and 4-hour intervals for the logrotate cron job schedule. Also, it increases the log FIFO queue configuration option for the number of messages to 1024 (based on input from @elorimer).

Keep in mind that the manual log rotation follows the current directives specified via the global defaults (A01global), which can be overridden by a separate logrotate configuration file associated with an individual log file. The key point is that "Rotate Log" and "Rotate All" make calls to...

The "/jffs/addons/uiScribe.d/Main_LogStatus_Content.asp" file *is* the WebUI page for uiScribe - it's *not* a backup. The file that you see as "/www/Main_LogStatus_Content.asp" is a temporary "bind mount" of the uiScribe ASP file located in JFFS, and that mount is removed whenever the system is...

Yes, that's correct. The responsibility to filter the system log entries and create separate log files based on content-specific rules falls on syslog-ng, and it does that with a process running in the background. I don't know the minute details, but that's the gist of its core functionality...

Release Notes for uiScribe v1.4.10 production version now available [2025-Dec-22] 1) NEW: Added "Rotate All" and "Rotate Log" on the WebUI page. This new feature will call logrotate on demand (i.e. independently of the current logrotate cron schedule) to rotate log files based on the rotation...

Release Notes for Scribe v3.2.6 production version now available [2025-Dec-22] 1) NEW: CLI menu option to set the hour interval to run the logrotate cron job. Users can now set the cron job to run every 6, 8, 12, or 24 hours. This should help with automatically rotating log files that tend to...

Release Notes for connmon v3.0.10 production version now available [2025-Dec-21] 1) FIXED: Bug fix in a CLI shell script function to get the full value of notification parameters from the configuration file. 2) FIXED: Bug fix in a WebUI JS function to get the full value of notification...

Release Notes for ntpMerlin v3.4.13 production version now available [2025-Dec-21] 1) IMPROVED: Modified the CLI top Main Menu to separate some groups of options and settings into their own sub-menus. This is an effort to make the top Main Menu shorter, more manageable, more user-friendly, and...

Thank you. That's exactly the kind of detail and context that was needed - nicely done. 👍 So yes, all those log entries you've shown are expected for the 2 separate but related events: 1) When the uiScribe WebUI page is first loaded, there's a call to its shell script to get the latest file...
