logstation does not seem to respect "-c" argument

[Kkevsterrr]

I tried using logstation -c, but it does not seem to respect it.

$ mv logstation.conf logstation_othername.conf
$ java -jar logstation-0.3.10.jar -c logstation_othername.conf 
Welcome to logstation! Creating default logstation.conf...
Please setup your logstation.conf located here: /home/kbock/tincture3/logstation.conf
Then relaunch and logstation will be located at: http://127.0.0.1:0

Am I passing the flags incorrectly? Thanks for your help!

That looks right to me.

Can you tell me more about your environment? What OS, and java versions? Thanks!

[Kkevsterrr]

Sure thing! I'm running in a Linux Ubuntu 16.04 VM.

$ cat /proc/version
Linux version 4.15.0-36-generic (buildd@lcy01-amd64-017) (gcc version 5.4.0 20160609 (Ubuntu 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.10)) #39~16.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Tue Sep 25 08:59:23 UTC 2018

Java:

$ java -version
java version "1.8.0_144"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_144-b01)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.144-b01, mixed mode)

Ok cool. I'll spin up a Ubuntu 16.04 VM here in a sec and try it out.

[Kkevsterrr]

Thanks so much!!

[jdrews]

Does it have a desktop environment? Or are you running it with no desktop environment?

[Kkevsterrr]

There is a desktop environment, but I would ideally like to run this headlessly, and be able to access the logs from another machine. (Run logstation on a server with logs, see those logs on other computers)

[jdrews]

Ok makes sense. I haven't tried it headless before. I'll give it a go and see what happens.

[jdrews]

I was able to recreate the problem with it not honoring the -c parameter. Looking into it.

[jdrews]

I've made a pre-release that fixes this problem. Please try it out,
https://github.com/jdrews/logstation/releases/tag/0.3.11
https://github.com/jdrews/logstation/releases/download/0.3.11/logstation-0.3.11.jar

[Kkevsterrr]

Sweet - I'll give it a shot. Does the pre-release address both #34 and #33, or just #34?

[Kkevsterrr]

[INFO] [10/12/2018 21:36:47.458] [main] [LogStation$] Unable to launch browser automatically. works like a charm :)

[jdrews]

Both

[Kkevsterrr]

Tested #33 as well and it works great. Thanks so much for your fast response on this! I'll keep playing with it as I work to integrate it and let you know if I run into anything else.

[Kkevsterrr]

(I'll let you close these issues when you want to; you're free to close them now if you want, or you can do it when the pre-release is a full release)

[jdrews]

Glad it's working. I'll close out the issues.
