I’m using Logstash on one of my own servers to do this. In any SmartApp where I need to retain history, I add the following method and use it to log messages instead of log.debug():
stash.groovy
def stash(msg) {
log.debug(msg)
def dateNow = new Date()
// def isoDateNow = dateNow.format("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS'Z'", location.timeZone)
def isoDateNow = dateNow.format("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS'Z'")
def json = "{"
json += "\"date\":\"${dateNow}\","
json += "\"isoDate\":\"${isoDateNow}\","
json += "\"name\":\"log\","
json += "\"message\":\"${msg}\","show original
I also wrote another SmartApp that subscribes to all of my things and logs their events to the same Logstash server for easier correlation with the log entries:
