Description

According to the logger documentation, it is only possible to positively filter scopes, e.g.:

tools0.12 logger --on-error=continue --filter 'scope "/some_important_scope/"' --style monitor/timeline

gives you all scopes that match the scope " /some_important_scope/ "

However, it seems that it is not possible to negate this filter in any way. Something I'd expect possible is (or however the correct syntax would be ;)):

tools0.12 logger --on-error=continue --filter 'scope :scope "/some_unimportant_scope/" :negate' --style monitor/timeline

which would filter out the named scope (and possibly all its subscopes...).

It is already possible to construct composite filter expressions involving not, and, or. There is however no convenient syntax1 for writing these down.

In the meantime, use

$ rsb-tools logger -f 'not :children #.(list (rsb.filter:filter :scope :scope "/foo" :exact? EXACT)'

where EXACT is either t or nil and controls whether to exclude sub-scopes.

1 Well, I have implemented such a syntax, but it is not in master.

Unfortunately I am not quite sure how to use this? Would I have to replace EXACT? And with a literal 't' or 'nil'?

Yes, literal t (true) or nil (false).

$ tools0.12 logger -f 'not :children #.(list (rsb.filter:filter :scope :scope "/system/monitoring/" :exact? EXACT)' --debug
                                                                                                                  ^ missing ")" 
                                                                                                            ^ t or nil
