log aircraft seen to a file?

[kiwiandy]

I want to be able to log all aircraft that are seen by my receiver, along with tail no etc. Is there an option to do this?

[kiwiandy]

So is the answer to my question so blindingly obvious, or is it not that easy?

Thanks for the link, very interesting, but I should have said in my original question that I'm running on a Raspberry Pi, and I use a Mac.. dont have windows

Putty has a mOX port by the way.. unsure if telnet still works the same however

The alternate I mentioned is java based. But complex to setup.

Virtual radar server also has a macOS port http://www.virtualradarserver.co.uk/download.aspx (built on java)

That has addons that can do logging

But you may not get everything in 1 go. As alluded to in your other question thread, the plane only sends

It also needs something that can find the bold bit and match it with a record of the type/registration and so on to fill in the gaps

So if I use the Telnet (telnet 192.168.1.43 30003)
I can get the msgs as posted above, is there a linux command that will let me direct this output to a file so I can analyse later?
or even better save on my mac as i am remotely logged into my Pi using bash?

Data is saved in the .json files in Pi's following folder:

If you have dump1090-mutability, files are in folder "/run/dump1090-mutability"

If you have dump1090-fa, files are in folder"/run/dump1090-fa"

Read data:

cat /run/dump1090-mutability/aircraft.json

## OR

cat /run/dump1090-fa/aircraft.json

The old files get deleted on reboot of Pi, and fresh files are then created.

I use an older version (my dbase is up to 20Gb now!) to create fancy logging pages that can be searched and so on

There's a ADSBSQLite version that I was playing with. It didn't like multiple clients using it, as it kind of slowed way down. But just as a program to save data it might be useful as a start to modifying it (source code is there). I went back to MySQL which is designed for many clients. I know MySQL is not easy to setup though.

P.S. The date and time in the tables is just a "long" integer in UTC time. Most computer languages can convert this to a more readable timestamp.

Your version is a little more sophisticated, ha, as I believe you are using local time. I think the latest is now only UTC time again.

One of the bad things about the Raspberry Pi is that it normally just uses a SD card. You can only write to those things for awhile, and then they self-destruct.

The workaround is to use a USB hard drive, and modify the bootup to use the harddrive. Then you can write without worries. (use google search)

Another way is to create a network mount to your Desktop or Server and then store the data on the mounted filesystem.

I have a NAS storage system that uses the ODROID HC2 so, like a RPi it can run MySQL or other database and store the data on the local harddrive, and then I can mount that on my Workstation. The SD card is just used for booting and normal OS stuff.

Hurts the server calc times a little, but saved as GMT. I just pull to local on display

$userSubmittedTimezoneString="NZ";
$userTimezone = new DateTimeZone($userSubmittedTimezoneString);
$gmtTimezone = new DateTimeZone('GMT');
$myDateTime = new DateTime($LOGROW['utcfadeout'], $gmtTimezone);
$offset = $userTimezone->getOffset($myDateTime);
$myNewDate = date('d-m', $myDateTime->format('U') + $offset);
$myNewTime = date('H:i', $myDateTime->format('U') + $offset);
