Troubleshooting: Log files

DSMR-reader technically consists of these processes and they are watched by Supervisor:

Backend	dsmr_backend	Most important process, handles all background processing.
Datalogger	dsmr_datalogger	Local datalogger reading telegrams (if used).
Webinterface	dsmr_webinterface	Hosts the GUI of DSMR-reader

You can view the status of all processes by running:

sudo supervisorctl status

Any processes listed, should have the status RUNNING. Stale or crashed processes can be restarted with:

sudo supervisorctl restart <name>
sudo supervisorctl restart dsmr_backend
sudo supervisorctl restart ...

Or to restart them all simultaneously:

sudo supervisorctl restart all

Each has its own log file(s):

Backend	/var/log/supervisor/dsmr_backend.log
Datalogger	/var/log/supervisor/dsmr_datalogger.log
Webinterface	/var/log/supervisor/dsmr_webinterface.log

By default, only errors are logged. You can enable DEBUG logging which will make the backend log greatly more verbose.

Attention

The logfiles may be stale due to rotation. To see all logs for a process, try tailing a wildcard pattern, e.g.:

sudo tail -f /var/log/supervisor/dsmr_webinterface*
sudo tail -f /var/log/supervisor/dsmr_datalogger*
sudo tail -f /var/log/supervisor/dsmr_backend*
