# dmesg-continuous-logger
This repository contains a simple bash script, capture_dmesg.sh, designed to continuously capture dmesg logs to a file for as long as the script runs. This is particularly useful for troubleshooting and monitoring system-level messages, especially during periods of active testing or when trying to capture intermittent issues.
### Description
This repository contains a simple bash script, `capture_dmesg.sh`, designed to continuously capture `dmesg` logs to a file for as long as the script runs. This is particularly useful for troubleshooting and monitoring system-level messages, especially during periods of active testing or when trying to capture intermittent issues.
### Features
- Starts logging `dmesg` messages as soon as the script is run.
- Captures logs to a designated file `dmesg_continuous.log`.
- Easy termination using `CTRL+C` or by sending a `SIGTERM` signal to the script.
### Usage
1. **Clone the Repository**:
```
git clone https://github.com/kevinveenbirkenbach/dmesg-continuous-logger.git
```
2. **Navigate to the Directory**:
```
cd dmesg-continuous-logger
```
3. **Make the Script Executable**:
```
chmod +x capture_dmesg.sh
```
4. **Run the Script**:
```
./capture_dmesg.sh
```
The `dmesg` logs will now be captured to `dmesg_continuous.log` for the duration the script runs.
5. **Stop Logging**:
To stop the logging process, simply press `CTRL+C` or send a `SIGTERM` signal to the script.
### Contributing
We welcome contributions to improve the script or extend its capabilities. Please submit a pull request or create an issue to discuss proposed changes.
