SpeedFan has full logging
capabilities.
The options you can set are:
| Enabled |
: |
this option completely enables or disables logging |
| Add header to file |
: |
when enabled, a new log file is started with the names of
the fields on the first row |
| Decimal separator |
: |
this option is originally set according to your
international settings, but you may change it to whatever you prefer |
| Max decimals |
: |
the
logging facility tries to save space on disk. If you set this option
to, say, 5, you will never get more than 5 decimal digits, but SpeedFan
will remove least significant ones if they are zeroes |
| Days to keep |
: |
SpeedFan
will keep at most this number of days worth of log files. Please note
that this is not necessarily the maximum number of log files, as
SpeedFan can create more than one log file per day |
File format:
log files contain values written in text format using the specified decimal separator. Values are
separated by TAB. The first row in the file contains the names of the
columns if the add header to file
option has been selected. The first number in the row is the number of
seconds since midnight.
Naming:
log files are named SFLogYYYYMMDD.csv, where YYYY is the year (four
digits), MM is the month (2 digits, zero padded) and DD is the day (2
digits, zero padded). If a file already exists by that name, the file
that already exists is renamed according to the following naming
scheme: SFLogYYYYMMDD-CCCC.csv, where CCCC is a increasing number. The
new file is then created with the standard file name scheme.
Notes:
whenever you change the options related with logging, SpeedFan starts a
new log file.
Once
you set the global options
for logging, you have to choose what to log. Say that you want to log
TEMP1 and TEMP3. Go to the TEMPERATURE tab, then select TEMP1. At the
bottom of the window you will find a checkbox named LOGGED. Check it
and TEMP1 will be logged to the log file. Then select TEMP3 and do the
same. That's all.
