Csongor Varga | Status Logging in Node-Red: keep an eye on your system @csongorvarga | Uploaded 9 months ago | Updated 1 day ago
Recently I published a video on how to capture exceptions in Node-Red. I realized that with a little tweaking I can reuse the error logging flow to log status messages. Like when your MQTT nodes disconnects from the server.
Since I work with more and more complex logic, this would make it much easier for me to review how the code is working, if I keep my code log the most important changes in status and this flow will just log them all for me.

My example flow: https://github.com/nygma2004/km/blob/main/status_logging.json
