uiScribe uiScribe - Custom System Log page for "scribed" logs

[Jack Yaz]

My one question today is, not really important, but is there away to make the time on the clock appear more accurate, or is it going to be limited by the speed it takes to load with the script and custom gui running on top of it. Note: this is not a critical issue, just a cosmetic question.

Is the clock gradually drifting, or wrong from page load?

I'm happy to announce v1.0.0

Functionally no different, but no longer a beta!

Just now I wanted to ask @Jack Yaz when v1.0.0 is due. Guess I don't have to now and go get coding instead.

Settle down, it's just a phase that'll blow over.
In the meantime, amtm 2.5 is out, supporting this threads very script.

Anyone else noticing their system log page slow to load? Have uninstalled and reinstalled UiScribe to see if that was making a difference. Other router pages load fast so I'd assume its a big log issue?

My systems log page is also slow to load as well. Show all, hide all and scrolling up and the systems log page has almost come to stop

Increase the frequency of logrotate for the larger files

You need to properly configure logrotate to keep individual log files <1MB (or less)

You've probably nailed it on the head. I'll admit I have UiScribe installed but haven't configured anything within it. So in order to show my ignorance how do I go about configuring the logrotate as you suggested?

I’m always happy to play and figure things out but thank you for asking that question [emoji4]

Yea same here....rereading all the other post and using my "google fu" to make sure I didn't miss anything simple. Figured I'd post back here once I found something.

@cmkelley is the resident syslog-ng and logrotate expert, so I'll defer to him

For now, take a log in /opt/etc/logrotate.d for existing logrotate files

@cmkelley is it possible to add another cron job for logrotate to check more frequently?

There is a far newer and more comprehensive and much, much less complicated thread here, named "scribe - syslog-ng and logrotate installer".

So based on this picture I believe it is safe to assume that is my issue. It does look as though it is rotating the logs based on the name of the .log1, .log2 file sizes and such for dnsmasq alone. Not sure what "messages" does as its over 10mb or if the other dnsmasq.log1 or log2 (84mb size) are still needed or would affect the router speed in their current state.

@QuikSilver, I see from your sig you have and 86U, @no_name, how about you?

I ask because I suspect the guilty logfile is crash. Unless you installed scribe very recently, /opt/etc/logrotate.d/crash probably looks like:

/opt/var/log/crash.log {
    minsize 4096k
    daily
    postrotate
        /usr/bin/killall -HUP syslog-ng
    endscript
}

The culprit is the minsize line. Change the minsize line to

    minsize 1024k

Then you should be able to select lr from the scribe menu, which should detect the logfile is too big and rotate it. Lots of 'should's, I know, I've admittedly not tested this yet. Forcing a log to rotate regardless of if all criteria are met is on my to-do list, but it's a bit more difficult that I originally thought, it's not quite as simple as passing '--force' to logrotate.
