Log messages do not contain a timestamp

[jheinitz]

Hello,

I like your image and it makes it very easy to setup a feeder for FlightAware. I'm using a docker-compose setup which makes it even more easier to maintain for me. However, when I look at the output from docker-compose logs, I do not see any timestamps. Is it possible to change that somewhere or is it an issue of the piaware software itself? Please see my log for reference:

user1@server1:/opt/docker-piaware$ docker-compose logs --tail=5
Attaching to piaware
piaware | [piaware] 268 msgs recv'd from dump1090 (78 in last 5m); 268 msgs sent to FlightAware
piaware | [piaware] 292 msgs recv'd from dump1090 (24 in last 5m); 292 msgs sent to FlightAware
piaware | [piaware] 319 msgs recv'd from dump1090 (27 in last 5m); 319 msgs sent to FlightAware
piaware | [piaware] 324 msgs recv'd from dump1090 (5 in last 5m); 324 msgs sent to FlightAware
piaware | [piaware] 407 msgs recv'd from dump1090 (83 in last 5m); 407 msgs sent to FlightAware
user1@server1:/opt/docker-piaware$

Best regards

Jens

Hi Jens,

Unfortunately, piaware doesn't include the date/time in their log messages. However, I pipe the logs through awk to add the [piaware] text, so I've modified the awk syntax to include the current date/time.

If you re-pull the image, you should see the date/time included for the piaware logs.

Let me know if this solves your problem.

Kind regards,
Mike Nye

Hi Mike, well done. That's looks good now. The only drawback is that messages are not shown immediately, but after a long period of time. It seems that the logging is now buffered. Could you add something to remove the buffering of the logs? Thanks and best regards Jens Am Mo., 22. Juni 2020 um 06:12 Uhr schrieb Mike <[email protected]>:

OK, I've changed the buffering for the awk instances. Can you re-pull and try again?

Hi Mike, that's perfect. Logs appear immediately and timestamp is included. Thanks a lot for the quick fix. Cheers Jens Am Mo., 22. Juni 2020 um 12:49 Uhr schrieb Mike <[email protected]>:
