Are you available today for testing Henk or @Peter_Kawa .  
I am first trying to solve and BLL loading issue which is a persistend pain in the behind.  
After i have solved that, ill work on the Add Script, since i resetted my Hp2023 and thus can test it easy without messing up my live/production environment.

Oeh, that would be so nice, @Arie_J_Godschalk! Thx in advance!  
I’d be happy to test for you, but since I am away from home today, I won’t be able to do so until after 18.00 I guess…  
Keep me posted, I’ll try to test asap if you got anything ready.

Well, before i do this, i once again wanna see if i can get the memory down of SSL.  
Because in Docker, the memory is okay, but on the HPs it grows when going through the logs.

Hi @Arie_J_Godschalk ticket system works flawless now. You should find issue #18 in there

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/2/4/24f7d5fdb42e9c7c5ab4697c6de98e59158f5a42.png)  
Issue with the DATE after the fix for timezone. I have added a bit more context in the ticket.

@Arie_J_Godschalk

Thanks for the great app! I just open the logging and see that all ‘message’ categories are empty. Any idea what is happening here? It is in the latest stable and beta version.

Screenshot:

Thanks for help ☺👍

Note, it was working 5 min ago and suddenly the colom is empty. Reboot app or homey did not solve it.

Guys, just a question, Simple log can be auto-added also to the “standard” flows, or ? I see it’s not currently in the script but I think it would be doable, or ? 😉 Eg. simple stuff like “Flow NAME executed” ?  
Apologies if it’s mentioned already in the thread.

Yes, but Simple Log still had issues, it was sometimes loosing data.  
I finally resolved this today and in case a file gets corrupted, it will autorepair.

There were 2 users (right now, more before) that had that issue, and after my latest update todauy, both reported that all empty lines where showing correct again.

This i wanted to solve before putting more time in it.

Also, i am fixing the [Export Insight App](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-archive-insights-export-all-your-insights-data-to-a-nas-ftp-or-web-folder/10976/221) for HP2019 and HP2023 both, and i am almost done, but now i cannot connect to my HP2019 somehow to test it.

So, i just haven’t had the time to include it into the script it yet. 🙂

Thank you, as I’m running upgraded HP23 with 4GB RAM, I tried that at least for Advanced flows (I’m not user of BLL or Symple(Sys)Log till today), now I’m getting all logs into Synology Syslog - works great so far. The only thing I’m worried about is that I will be not able to edit advanced flows anymore (my advanced flows were already having issues while editing in Firefox 😉 ) , so I will be probably every-time running removal and re-added script.

 ![obrazek](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/d/c/dca875437618cd66e3822c781a0481677d6ae461.png)

Anyway, great stuff @Arie_J_Godschalk , as always ! Looking forward for standard flows, as I have around 600 of them 😉

Well, there is a special flowcard that is placed within flows.  
The idea is that those can be configured from a part in the Simple Log app, so you can easily configure and update all flowcards from a settings screen (which will create a script, place it under the clipboard when you press the link to the ApiPlayground, kinda like i do with TEFs of Device Capabilities.

Btw, sorry if already reported, I wonder if script could skip adding cards to those elements :

- ANY
- DELAY
- COMMENTS

Unless it’s by design.

LOL, no thats not by design, the script is just really not ready yet 😉  
And right now, have spend the last few hours trying to deploy an app to my HP2019, which is connected locally, but i cannot deploy somehow.

I will get to the script 😉

Pfff, the AI-Mesh of my Asus AP’s switched off the Ethernet Backhaul with the latest firmware update.

Grrr, just took me a few hours to solve…

Of-topic.

Pff. Good to know. Turned off the auto-update function of my asus routers directly. How did you solve this?

On-topic; many thanks! The app is working perfect again! 💪💪

That works flawless indeed, but did you try deleting flowcards from other apps, like Papertrails f.i. with [the script](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-simple-sys-log-use-this-app-for-simple-sys-logging/77533/7)?

Nope, never used PaperTrails. Just was updating some flows and had to clean them up, so tested this [script](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-simple-sys-log-use-this-app-for-simple-sys-logging/77533/7).

I just hope even the adding script will be updated for regular flows, that would be providing finally full insights on what the flows are actually doing and when 😉

SSL has been updated for a bugfixing: Having a Syslogclient setup might duplicate logs.
