The logging can be directed to rotating log files instead of the ring buffer with 7config log – command.

In order to change logging to log files, issue the following command:
# 7config log set target persistent
To change logging back to ring buffer, use the following command:
# 7config log set target buffer
The following command shows the log level and log target information:
# 7config log show
7.4 Soft and Micro Eye log
Soft and Micro Eyes utilize syslog of the OS distribution. By default, logs will appear to file
/var/log/messages.
In order to get Eye Software debug log messages to a log file, debug logging must be enabled in syslog
configuration file.
Log in to Soft or Micro Eye and open file /etc/rsyslog.conf in an editor. Add rule for debug logs, e.g. after
cron log rule:
# Log cron stuff
cron.* /var/log/cron
*.debug /var/log/debug
Save the file and restart rsyslog:
Soft Eye:
# service rsyslog restart
Micro Eye:
# systemctl restart rsyslog.service
In order to enable Eye Software debug logging mode, issue commands:
# 7config log set default DEBUG
# 7config run restart
