Good looking out @tiol11.
I've been meaning to update scrub_logs so I'm glad you brought this up. I also wanted to ask if it would be worth capturing and censoring the mmsd-tng log. I use a modified version of scrub_logs to do just that when I need to capture logs for mmsd. Maybe that's out of scope though since that's an entirely different project.
also, looking at the collect_logs, why is the '.log.1' suffix even necessary? Since the timestamp is now included, can't these files be just '.log'?
ok I see that these are for the previous boot log files. Is this really necessary?
AFAIK you collect logs after restarting a stuck modem, then you are more interested in the logs from previous boot than in the actual one's.
Good looking out @tiol11.
* For the modem number, the scrubber uses that logic for a few different log files, not just the openqti log. I'll update it so that it will work with both the old and new numbers; in case someone is using an old version of the firmware. * the older version of collect_logs didn't use timestamps and that's what I wrote scrub_logs to work against originally. Time for an update * changing the log filename might be a call that should be approved by @Biktorgj. I like the suggestion though.

The only reason to have the file names named as openqti.log.Y is because the script to rotate them does it that way :) https://github.com/the-modem-distro/meta-qcom/blob/kirkstone/recipes-scripts/shared-scripts/files/log_rename.sh
I don't really care about the naming scheme as long as we ensure we rename all the existing files prior to changing the extension, so we don't leave 30 stale files in /persist in everyone's modem for no reason ;)
Fair enough. I'll come up with a PR soon and will welcome your input.
I made a couple PR's for this. One is to address the log_rename.sh script. I had to rewrite it to contain backwards compatibility with the older naming convention of log files as @Biktorgj required. That said, not only does that need to be merged and installed, it has to run at least once before the updates to collect_logs and scrub_logs will work with the PR I just made
Hi and thank you for the great job on this modem FW!
Looks to me that tools/helpers/scrub_logs deserves some maintainance:
