# Logs and Reports
Logs will collect here. Give a day of logs or a bunch of messages to have good reports.

## Reporting Note
Reporting is via [../etc/report_generator5.py](../etc/report_generator5.py). The report_generator5 has newer feel and HTML5 coding. The index.html output is published in [../etc/www](../etc/www) there is a .cfg file created on first run for configuring values as needed (like moving web root)
 - Make sure to have `SyslogToFile = True` and default of DEBUG log level to fully enable reporting! ‼️

## Settings
Logging messages to disk or 'Syslog' to disk uses the python native logging function.
```conf
[general]
# logging to file of the non Bot messages only
LogMessagesToFile = False
# Logging of system messages to file, needed for reporting engine
SyslogToFile = True
# logging level for the bot (DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR, CRITICAL)
sysloglevel = DEBUG
# Number of log files to keep in days, 0 to keep all
log_backup_count = 32
```
## Web Reporting WebServer
There is a web-server module. You can run `python3 modules/web.py` from the project root directory and it will serve up the web content.
