Automatic Events Log analyser - for observations & troubleshooting

[nigelkeirross]

Has there been any consideration to building into xDrip+ the facility to analyse the events log. As xDrip has more features, the number & different entries in the log can be somewhat intimidating, and can sometime lead to repeated questions, with only partial information provided. Not all users will understand the significance of the information in the log, and the sheer volume of data can overwhelm, unless one knows precisely what to look for.
Perhaps the first stage would be to have the tool provide some simple observations, such as:

• You are getting lots of zero values in your raw data.
• You have good BT connectivity with your Libre2 as you are getting data each minute.

And the next stage could be t provide some diagnostics, or interpretations/conclusions:

• The most likely cause of your missing data is a bad sensor, because over 70% of your raw values are 0

Having recently switched from Libre1 + bridge, to bridgeless Libre2, there is a lot of new information in the log, and I have found it rather like looking for a needle in a haystack, and have ended up asking dumb questions to the forum.

I am not aware of any section of the documentation dedicated to "How to understand the Event Logs" - but maybe creating this would be a useful precursor to any automation of the analysis.
Apologies if this has been discussed before.

There is a reasonable expectation that if a developer modifies a part of the code, they would accordingly edit the including logs that re affected.
This makes the maintenance of the logs a reasonable task.

But, if we create the capability for the logs to be interpreted, we will need an additional program or function. Such a function or program will need to be maintained. What happens when a developer modifies a feature in xDrip? Whose responsibility will it be to update the interpreter?
I can already see a scenario where the interpreter becomes outdated and provides incorrect interpretations.

Have you thought about that?
Or, am I misunderstanding your suggestion?

@nigelkeirross you'd be very welcome! https://xdrip.readthedocs.io/en/latest/troubleshoot/libre2/

[nigelkeirross]

@psonnera Thanks. I have looked at that link, and the ones that @Navid200 sent. Lots of good stuff. I will try to collect some thoughts about what I am looking for (and will be willing to try & create). I think it probably best that I contact you directly - what would be the best way to do that? Email or github? Thanks

@nigelkeirross PM'd you

@psonnera I've looked on Github, gitlab & discord, but can't see any messages. Where should I look?

You're right. Gitter moved to Matrix... Discord is a good idea.
