How to log from python?

Question

Hi. What logging options are available for python scripts on a Transport WR41 gateway? Is there any way to log to the device's main event log?

Thanks!

Answer 1

It depends what you are trying to achieve...

from BaseWizard import write_cli

eventlog = write_cli ("type eventlog.txt")
print eventlog

or you could do

eventlog = open("/eventlog.txt")
eventlog_contents = eventlog.read()
print (eventlog_contents)

Answer 2

I read it the other way around.

To write to the event log:

from BaseWizard import write_cli

eventlog =write_cli('setevent "this is a test"')
