If you want to collect logs over a period of time why not set up a syslog server. I have one running as a service on my Media PC (which also hosts openhab2 and mosquitto)

Through the advanced settings on ESPeasy you can then point the ESPeasy device to the syslog server ip address and set the level of loggin that you require.

I used free syslog software, though I cant right now remember the name of it.

Just wondering If there is any option to run syslog on raspberry pi along with domoticz server. That would be best solution for me.

A Respberry usually uses Raspbian, a Debian variant.
There are some SysLog servers availlable with raspbian/Debian, for example "syslog-ng".

As long as there is no syslog server already running, just do a

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install syslog-ng

to get the server installed
it might need some config, i can't check here at the office.

Configured, conf file adjusted. Working like a charm right now.
Thanks Shardan a lot
