The landing page typically displays a real-time dashboard showing the current sensor readings. Depending on the model, this includes:
For Pythonistas who want simplicity without heavy libraries: logging
from flask import Flask, request
import logging
from datetime import datetime
app = Flask(name)
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/logs \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '"level":"INFO","message":"User login","timestamp":"2025-03-15T10:00:00Z"'
To achieve effective local HTTP logging, you need three layers:
There are two ways to get your device onto the network so you can access the local page. The landing page typically displays a real-time dashboard
nc -l -p 8080 -k >> access.log
Then send logs to http://localhost:8080. Every request is appended to access.log.
Use an environment variable to enable verbose local logging but keep production silent:
if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development')
app.use(morgan('dev'));
app.use(morgan('combined', stream: localLogStream ));
else
// Minimal or no logging in production
