Enable new log report feature

Hello everyone,

I recently installed Traccar version 5.11, but I can't view any logs from the "Reports > Logs" page.

There is a specific parameter or setting that needs to be activated in order to display the logs correctly?

Thanks.

No configuration needed. If you don't see anything there, it probably means there's nothing to display.

@Adriano It confused me also at first.

It will only start showing log entrys from the moment that you open the report/log page. So no historical log entry's but device data that comes in after you opened that reports/log page (and only as long als you keep that log page open).

@Anton, Understood. Could you please inform me what kind of data I should expect to see there, so I can perform some tests?

Only incoming device data.

It will show the actual HEX that the device send (the same as in traccar log file). And it will also show that for unknown devices. Its a nice feature.

I am currently receiving data from at least 95 devices, and I can see the information in the application's log, but I don't see anything on the web.

You should check 2 things:

1. Make sure WebSocket connection is ok
2. Make sure your user has access to those devices

@Track-trace, thanks for your answers.

@Anton,

1. I see through Chrome that there is an error with the WebSocket. However, this same error is not affecting other web tasks as everything is functioning normally; only the log isn't loading.

   

2. Yes, this user is an administrator and has access to all devices.

It is affecting other tasks. You won't have live tracking if WebSocket connection is not working.

Most likely you haven't configure WebSocket proxy properly.

Thank you Anton, you're correct.

I managed to resolve it by adjusting the Nginx configuration. Here's a general outline of the changes that worked for me:

• HTTP to HTTPS Redirection:

   server {
       listen 80;
       server_name yourdomain.com; # Replace with your domain

       return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
   }

• Configure WebSocket in the SSL Block:
  In the server block that listens on port 443 for SSL, add specific settings for WebSocket.

server {
    listen 443 ssl;
    server_name yourdomain.com; # Replace with your domain

    # ... SSL configuration ...

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://localhost:PORT; # Replace with your Traccar server address and port
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;

        # WebSocket specific
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";

        # Long timeout for WebSocket connections
        proxy_read_timeout 7200s;
        proxy_connect_timeout 7200s;
    }
}

• Reload Nginx Configuration.

Actually now i noticed that incoming device data that is filtered is not shown in reports/log

If the intend of the report/log is to use it also for troubleshooting / debugging it might be handy to see that data also (meaby with a different color that it is filtered).

This is incorrect assumption. Filtered data is shown in the report logs.

Yes you are correct Anton. Should have tested better.
