No data in the dashboard

[HaoZeke]

I love the idea of the dashboard, however, I am somehow not able to get any output.

The error is rather descriptive but I was wondering if there is a simple fix:

  File "/usr/lib/python3.7/http/server.py", line 426, in handle
    self.handle_one_request()
  File "/usr/lib/python3.7/http/server.py", line 414, in handle_one_request

Hi @HaoZeke, thanks for your interest! I have never seen this issue. Maybe you can try this step:

$ cd /home/haozeke/Git/Github/Linux/uLogMe/render/
$ mkdir json/

to force to create the json folder. It might be that the bash script coudn't save the log files if the folder is not there.

Hum actually, if you just launch the dashboard script well there is no way the system has collected data, you need to launch both the data collection script (ulogme_data.sh, as explained here "To start recording") and the dashboard script (ulogme_serve.sh)!

No the script was running, I used the tmux script... Plus I definitely have log files:

.
├── keyfreq_1539567000.txt
├── keyfreq_1539653400.txt
├── keyfreq_today.txt -> keyfreq_1539653400.txt
├── window_1539567000.txt
└── window_1539653400.txt   

I have also noticed that the keylogging script is not terminated when I CTRL-C and I need to kill it manually with killall -9 keyfreq.sh

That worked! A simple workaround is to create folders if they don't exist, perhaps this should be automated?

Great dashboard!

Thanks for the feedback.

The json/ folder

It was already supposed to be automated, see https://github.com/Naereen/uLogMe/blob/d2b91c783a40eeaf400f397372d647df32ad1a85/scripts/export_events.py#L169 but it was done too late in the script, so I changed this, and it should be fixed. Thanks!

The keylogging script

If you launch the ulogme_tmux.sh script, which launches the ulogme_data.sh, I do not know how to do differently than detach one of the script (I choosed the keylogging instead of the window title logging, arbitrarily…). See https://github.com/Naereen/uLogMe/blob/d2b91c783a40eeaf400f397372d647df32ad1a85/scripts/ulogme_data.sh#L15 Any idea to do it differently?

ulogme_data.sh cannot require to be in tmux (it is an optional dependency).
