On my RasPi running Node-Red, I recently discovered ~/.node-red/openaq.log mainly as it was taking up a bunch of space :slight_smile: I had changed my logging level when looking into a previous issue I was having with Node-Red that I was troubleshooting from the console. The Pi I run on is headless …

Do you have the node node-red-contrib-openaq installed? (found using a google search 'node-red openaq')

Looks like it though no nodes are configured or deployed. I'll go to their github page and ask about this behavior, it seems like it is potentially unintended. Also in my defense, I was looking for the exact phrase openaq.log along with node-red which doesn't turn much up. There is a singular hit …

[image] Matt.L: no nodes are configured or deployed. Go to Configuration Nodes in the menus and click Unused. Check for an aq node there and delete it if found.

I double checked that before I made my response thinking that it may have been some cruft left over from when I was trying some AQI experiments a while ago. I also went ahead and changed my logging level in Node-Red then restarted the service and now I no longer have the .log file. I tried setting …

Had you restarted node-red since you deleted any config nodes related to that node? [image] Matt.L: I tried setting it back Setting what back? Do you mean configuring an aq node again?

Hi, Some time ago I had issues with the OpenAQ log file as well. See: Google Log in failed · Issue #241 · mikejac/node-red-contrib-google-smarthome · GitHub My post of February 1st. 2022

Sorry for the lack of clarity, I set the logging level back to trace on the off chance that's what triggered the issue. I might revisit this later (especially since that seemed to be the only way to get my node.warn() messages, debug node output, and error messages that will pop up in the side bar …

They get logged to the node-red log file. The default service file for a pi sends that to syslog, but it is configurable in the service file I believe. Alternatively you can see the node-red log in the terminal using node-red-log or journalctl -u nodered. At least you should be able to now that y…

Alternatively you can use a custom logger as described in Logging : Node-RED

Basically, all the messages I get from node red are this: 28 Oct 09:37:03 - [debug] Module: node-red-contrib-moment 4.0.0 /home/pi/.node-red/node_modules/node-red-contrib-moment 28 Oct 09:37:03 - [debug] Module: node-red-contrib-moving-average 1.3.0 /home/pi/.node-red/node_modules/node-red-contrib-…
