# dlt-qnx-system
QNX specific logging features of dlt are managed by the ```dlt-qnx-system``` process.
It currently contains the message forwarder from slogger2 to DLT.
The application listens to the system logs on QNX (slogger2) and sends them to
DLT. The prerequisite is that dlt-daemon is already started and running.
dlt-qnx-system loads by default the configuration file ```/etc/dlt-qnx-system.conf```.
> In order to catch all logs via slog2, the syslog needs to forward to slogger2 in [syslog.conf](http://www.qnx.com/developers/docs/7.0.0/index.html#com.qnx.doc.neutrino.utilities/topic/s/syslog.conf.html).
To change the log level, use application ID and context ID set in configuration
file. ```DLT_INITIAL_LOG_LEVEL``` can be set on startup phase, or control
message can be sent from DLT client (e.g. dlt-control, DLT Viewer) at runtime.
Refer to [dlt_for_developers.md](dlt_for_developers.md) for more detail.
## Usage
```bash
dlt-qnx-system [-h] [-d] [-c FILENAME]
```
-h
: Display a short help text.
-d
: Daemonize. Detach from Terminal and run in background.
-c
: Load an alternative configuration file. By default the configuration file
*/etc/dlt-qnx-system.conf* is loaded.
Non zero is returned in case of failure.
## Configuration
By default, the configuration is loaded from */etc/dlt-qnx-system.conf*. It
contains a few basic options:
- *ApplicationId*: this QNX system log forwarder will have this application ID
and appear on DLT client. Default value is *QSYM*.
- *ApplicationContextID*: the context ID of the above application to appear on
DLT client. Default value is *QSYC*.
- *QnxSlogger2Enable*: when the value is 1 (by default), the QNX slogger2
adapter which sends slogger2 to DLT will be started. Otherwise if the value
if 0, it won't be started.
- *QnxSlogger2ContextId*: this will set the context ID of the QNX slogger2
adapter. Default value is *QSLA*.
- *QnxSlogger2UseOriginalTimestamp*: when the value is 1 (by default), slogger2
event timestamps will be used as DLT timestamps.
## Slogger2 adapter
The slogger2 adapter that can be enabled in dlt-qnx-system attaches to slogger2 and converts the messages to dlt messages.
### Log level mapping
As the severity levels on QNX system log are different from DLT Log Level, the below table shows how they're converted from the former to the latter.
| QNX System Log Level | DLT Log Level |
|----------------------|--------------------|
| SLOG2\_SHUTDOWN | DLT\_LOG\_FATAL |
| SLOG2\_CRITICAL | DLT\_LOG\_FATAL |
| SLOG2\_ERROR | DLT\_LOG\_ERROR |
| SLOG2\_WARNING | DLT\_LOG\_WARN |
| SLOG2\_NOTICE | DLT\_LOG\_INFO |
| SLOG2\_INFO | DLT\_LOG\_INFO |
| SLOG2\_DEBUG1 | DLT\_LOG\_DEBUG |
| SLOG2\_DEBUG2 | DLT\_LOG\_VERBOSE |
### Context Mapping
The json file dlt-slog2ctxt.json can be used to map slogger names to dlt-contexts.
#### Example
Here is an example that sets a mapping from the "dumper" process to the DLT Context "DUMP", and the QNX Hypervisor to "QVM".
The description field is in the registration with libdlt.
```python
{
"DUMP": {
"name": "dumper",
"description": "Writes core dump files to disk"
},
"SYSL": {
"name": "syslogd",
"description": ""
}
}
```
### Runtime enable/disable slog2 adapter
The slog2 parser callback can be disabled and reenabled at runtime by using an injection.
| App ID | Context ID | Service ID | Data | Description |
|--------|------------|------------|------|------------------------|
| QSYM | QSYC | 0x1000 | 00 | Disable slog2 adapter |
| QSYM | QSYC | 0x1000 | 01 | Reenable slog2 adapter |
### Example:
```bash
dlt-control -e QNX -a QSYM -c QSYC -s 4096 -m "00" -u
dlt-control -e QNX -a QSYM -c QSYC -s 4096 -m "01" -u
```
