HA_LOGGER(8)

πŸ‘‘ HA_LOGGER(8) β€” like, the user commands era πŸ’…

okay bestie, so this is ha_logger, and it lives in section 8 of the manual (you know, the user commands girlies πŸŽ€). she's a tiny little tool with a big job and honestly? iconic.


✨ NAME ✨

ha_logger β€” log a message to files and/or syslog through the HA Logging Daemon. that's it, that's the whole personality 🫢


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ha_logger [-D [ha-log] | [ha-debug]] [-t tag] message...

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

so the way that ha_logger works is: you hand her a message, and she logs it to files and/or syslog through the HA Logging Daemon. that's the entire plot. no cap. πŸ“βœ¨


πŸ’– OPTIONS πŸ’–

here's everything she supports, and yes we're going through all of it, because every flag is a main character:

  • -D ha-log|ha-debug β€” this one sends your message to different files, depending on which one you pick. if you say ha-log, the message goes to the log file AND the debug file. if you say ha-debug, it goes to the debug file only. pick your fighter πŸ₯Š
  • -t tag β€” stamps every single line in the log with the tag you give her. like a little name tag but for log lines 🏷️
  • message β€” literally just the message that should be logged. the whole point. the moment. πŸ’¬
