Server logs

You are advised to pay attention to this terminal window before, during and after your flight operations, as the server log might give you crucial information abour warnings and errors detected in your system.

Termnial log of Skybrush Server

Each line of the server log might contain a timestamp, an extension source, optional further source info (such as the drone ID etc.) and a log message with given severity level. Warnings are printed with yellow, errors are printed with red for convenience.

Log recovery

Server logs are also saved permanently, so if your server crashes for any reason or you simply close the application, you will still be able to recover your logs. The location of your log file is printed to the server terminal window upon startup. If the log file (skybrushd.log) becomes too large, it gets renamed to skybrushd.log.1, skybrushd.log.2, and so on. The latest log is always found in the plain skybrushd.log file.
