Quassel Logging¶

Quassel saves all logs into the database, it never forgets backlogs unless you delete a buffer. You can either scroll back in chat windows as far as you like, or you can use a tool to dump or view the logs in plaintext format.

Tools¶

dumplog¶

this tool (written in Python) dumps quassel logs to a file. Currently it exports mIRC format.
You can get it at

http://tier.schokokeks.org/quassel/dumplog-0.0.1.tar.bz2

it is rather self-explanatory, telling you if something went wrong. you can run it with

default database path (ok for most unixes)

python dumplog.py -u username -n network -c "#channel" -o channel.log

custom database path (Windows etc.)

python dumplog.py -d "C:\Quassel\quassel-storage.sqlite"

Examples:

show users in quasseldb

python dumplog.py

show networks for quassel user john

python dumplog.py -u john

show channels for network Freenode for user john

python dumplog.py -u john -n Freenode

dump channel #quassel on network Freenode for user john to file quassel.log

python dumplog.py -u john -n Freenode -c "#quassel" -o quassel.log

Note
dumplog currently only handles sqlite databases, postgres shouldn't be too hard if requested.
this tool is not maintained by quassel staff, contact Gentle on Freenode for bugs or feature requests
