SSV logger

A simple tool to make the SSV node's logs easier to view.

Dependencies

• Python3
• Colorama

Installation

python3 -m pip install ssvlogger

How to use

With docker

To tell docker to use journal as its log engine you can append --log-driver=journald to the docker run command.

This is an example command you could use

docker run --restart unless-stopped --name ssv_node -e \
.... # other flags
--log-driver=journald \  # This is to set up journal as the logging handler for docker
-it "bloxstaking/ssv-node:latest" make BUILD_PATH="/go/bin/ssvnode" start-node

After you have configure docker, you can view live logs from the SSV node with this command (assuming you have named the container "ssv_node"): journalctl CONTAINER_NAME=ssv_node -f

To use the logger you can pipe the output into the python script using: journalctl CONTAINER_NAME=ssv_node -f | ssvlogger

Without docker

If you do not use docker it will only work as a service, assuming you have a service called "ssv_node" you should run journalctl -u ssv_node -f | ssvlogger

Additional Flags

You can also use different flags to disable or enable certain features in the script

short command	long command	description
-n	--no-spam	Disables connection and registry event logs
-t	--traceback	Shows tracebacks for errors
