Can I see server/client logs?

My Virtualhere server on a Raspberry Pi has worked great for months without a flaw. One thing that is connected is a SmartHome Insteon modem - a virtual com port.

It controls the lights around the house via a program called Home Control Assistant, which sees it as a com port.

Suddenly I find that the COM port either vanishes completely or (apparently) vanishes and then returns. Much to the annoyance of the program connected to it.

I was literally running the same server/client for many months before this began to happen, but did download the latest of both a couple of days ago, and the same thing happened yesterday.

Is there a way to see or turn on logging so that I can see connect/disconnect/other activity? In this particular case there is almost none of this activity intentionally - the SmartHome device is plugged into the wall and the Pi is just sitting there. The machine connected to the modem is also just sitting there - and only issues serial commands twice a day.

I also have an XP machine with the last XP Client connected to another virtual serial device, but it too has been running for a long long time, and while XP occasionally crashes for some unknown reason that's typically *not* when the other machine loses its connectivity.

So the connection started playing up before or after you updated the virtualhere software?

Server logs are in /var/log/syslog (or journalctl | grep vhusbd)

Client logs are accessed by right clicking USB Hubs->System Messages

When the server or client disconnects it will write the reason in those logs.

The connection was playing up before I updated the software, but has continued to do so with the new versions.

Neither /var/log/syslog or journalctl give me anything, but it just became November 1st. I did see user.log.1 and gzipped user.log.2 - 4

Right clicking the client and looking at system messages only seems to show me messages since it started. Do you also log to disk with the client?

I have re-started everything, ensuring that all cables are still properly plugged. I'll monitor for problems and add to this with client and server log data if I see them. Problems usually show up in a day or two.

Here are server user.log.2 and user.log.1, in chronological order. They seem to show a lot of timeouts and disconnects. You can see at the bottom when I restarted with the new server software.

101e:0005 is my Fronius Datalogger
0403:6001 is the connection to the light controller.

Yes it looks like the network is dropping. You may want to update raspbian also. Do

sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get upgrade -y;sync;sudo reboot

It may also be a hardware issue, perhaps after a year or something the pi hardware is failing. Does the pi work ok otherwise, any other issues?

The client doesnt write the log to file unless you start the client with the -r command

vhui64.exe -r log.txt

#5

The Pi seems to be fine otherwise - it's a Pihole server that all my network uses and I've never noticed a problem. But it is a few years old.

I'll wait to see if the problem recurs, and if so I'll update raspbian and restart the client so that it saves logs.

If I *still* have problems I'll swap it out for a new one and beg you to move the license.

#6

Hey... this issue didn't happen for a few days and then began again. I updated raspbian as above and it almost immediately (10 hours later) happened again.

I wonder if you have any thoughts about both of my USB devices disconnecting with a timeout at the same time? It seems to be the theme. They say they are disconnecting because of a timeout - any thoughts on what is timing out?

Server log (user.log) looks like:
