Hubitat logs API

[EdwardCorvus]

Is there an API for Hubitat logs that emits events in a form meant for machine consumption vs display?

I see that I can request past logs from /logs/past/json but the result looks like ["2023-01-17 13:24:08.369\tINFO \tapp|354|L1 hall motion dim <span style='color:red'>Restricted</span>|evt: 1F main hall motion sensor motion active --> restricted" whereas I’m looking for data with a schema or in some kind of structure that doesn’t require parsing. An example might be:

{"timestamp": "2023-01-17 13:24:08.369", "logLevel": "INFO", "source": "application", "sourceId": "354", "sourceDescription": "L1 hall motion dim <span style='color:red'>Restricted</span>", "eventDescription: "1F main hall motion sensor motion active --> restricted"}

Thanks!

[Beta] Push user logs to Syslog server

I'm not very experienced with syslog, but this device driver works for me. feedback is appreciated. https://github.com/hubitatuser12/hubitatCode/blob/master/drivers/Syslog.groovy

If you want discrete events for devices, Maker API may work for you. You can poll it via HTTP or have it push events to you.

What is your goal?

I ask because there are two undocumented websocket connections to the hub that are available. I'm not at home (so I cannot check), but I'm pretty sure They send out JSON formatted events. And should be easier on the hub than using MakerAPI vis-a-vis processor use.

Anyway, you can access them at:

ws://your.hubitat.ip/eventsocket
and
ws://your.hubitat.ip/logsocket

I use this to grab logs via Node-RED and write them to a database. Works really well.
