Can't use on windows

[Dodgexander]

I'm trying to setup remote logging for autosuspend and have followed the documentation and edited the autosuspend-logging.conf with the following:

[loggers]
keys=root,autosuspend,checks

[handlers]
keys=broadcastHandler
#keys=consoleHandler

[formatters]
keys=simpleFormatter

[logger_root]
level=INFO
handlers=broadcastHandler
#handlers=consoleHandler

[logger_autosuspend]
qualname=autosuspend
propagate=0
level=INFO
handlers=consoleHandler

[logger_checks]
qualname=autosuspend.checks
propagate=0
level=INFO
handlers=consoleHandler

[handler_consoleHandler]
class=StreamHandler
level=DEBUG
formatter=simpleFormatter
args=(sys.stdout,)

[formatter_simpleFormatter]
format=%(asctime)s - %(name)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s
datefmt=

[handler_broadcastHandler]
class=broadcastlogging.BroadcastHandler
level=DEBUG
args=('192.168.0.255',55555)`

On a remote windows PC I have installed python 3.7 from the windows store, then installed this package using 'pip install broadcast-logging'

Using the example from the docs on the windows machine I enter:

python -m broadcastlogging -c -b '192.168.0.255' 55555

But I receive this error:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Resource Kits\Tools>python -m broadcastlogging -c -b '192.168.0.255' 55555
Traceback (most recent call last):

    sock.bind((args.bind, args.port))
socket.gaierror: [Errno 11001] getaddrinfo failed

I have tried changing the IP address to one on my own network, but its the same result. Something about the windows installation of this package doesn't seem to work for some reason. I've also searched online for a solution, and set my http and https proxy as my IP address in windows.

Any suggestions what could be wrong?

I've never tested this on Windows. But maybe the obvious question first: is 192.168.0.255 actually your broadcast address? What is your computer's IP address?

[Dodgexander]

The IP of my server is 192.168.50.149 but I keyed that in place of the example and it still gives the same error. I believe its something at the receivers end, not able to find or parse the IP address for some reason.

[languitar]

Just guessing I would say the broadcast address should be 192.168.50.255 then. That error message says that your system can't bind to that address. Or are the single quotes passed to the command on Windows?

Do you have a linux box to test the same command?

[Dodgexander]

Yep I tried that as my broadcast address as I figured it would be that from your example in the manual.
I also tried without single quotes.

I don't have another linux PC but I tried via my Android phone installing Python in the app: Termux. The result is different, I get [Errno 7] No address associated with hostname

My autosuspend status is flagging something wrong, but unrelated to logging?

Aim is to log remotely if I can, since I'm seeing autosuspend suspending my system even when criteria should be met, the problem is, I can never see exactly when it happens if I can only trace past logs :)

EDIT* can't seem to stop the key errors in the autosuspend status, not sure if its related?

Your section logger_autosuspend still references consoleHandler but that handler isn't part of the handlers section anymore.

I'll have to check for the Windows errors. Maybe things work differently there.

[Dodgexander]

thanks. I edited out where I saw consoleHandler and changed it to broadcast handler but I still get errors.

I've commented out sections I want to keep in the future for local logging.

[languitar]

Take a look at your changes:

handler=broadcastHandler
#handlers=consoleHandler

handler != handlerS

[languitar]

Btw, you can easily have local and broadcast logging in parallel

[Dodgexander]

Great! It was just a typo after all, got the broadcast-logging up and running on my phone now using Termux (installing python within the app) and it works great.

The problem seems to stem from a change in how the program interprets the IP address command in windows.
sock.bind((args.bind, args.port)) socket.gaierror: [Errno 11001] getaddrinfo failed

Just seems to me like the passing of IP in windows just doesn't work properly for some reason. Either that or there's a configuration error on my setup not allowing python to resolve the IP.
