[crowsnest] section¶

log_level¶

Defines how much information should be written to the log file.
Default: verbose

Available options:

quiet

Basic information only.

log_level: quiet

Example output:

[06/16/22 09:57:01] crowsnest: crowsnest - A webcam service for multiple cams and stream services.
[06/16/22 09:57:01] crowsnest: Version: v2.4.0-15-ge42799b
[06/16/22 09:57:01] crowsnest: Prepare Startup ...
[06/16/22 09:57:01] crowsnest: INFO: Checking Dependencies
...

verbose

Recommended for setup and troubleshooting.

log_level: verbose

Displays detailed information about the configured and connected cameras, plus their capabilities.
Turn off when not needed.

debug

For debugging only.

log_level: debug

Includes all 'verbose' information, plus startup parameters (and defaults) and streamer output.
Use only for debugging and turn off when not needed.

Note

Once configured, consider setting log_level to quiet to minimize disk usage.

rollover_on_start¶

Default: false

If set to true, the existing log file will be rollover every time Crowsnest restarts up to 5 times.
This can help diagnose issues, as the log will contain only information from the latest restart and a backup of old executions still exist for reference.

rollover_on_start: true

Tip

This is useful if you ask for help in Discord Forums. Please be prepared to upload your logfile.

no_proxy¶

Default: false

If set to true, this forces all streamers to listen on all available network interfaces.

no_proxy: true

This is useful if you want to use Crowsnest in 'standalone' mode. It is not recommended if you used MainsailOS or KIAUH for setup.
