Log the time#

The ESP32 can give you the current date and time in the logs of the device. This example illustrates how to check the logs using the Toit console or the CLI.

main:
  print Time.now
  time := Time.now.local
  print "$(%02d time.h):$(%02d time.m)"
  print "$(%04d time.year)-$(%02d time.month)-$(%02d time.day)"

The Log tab of your device shows the recent log entries. Uncheck on the "Show system logs" to filter the logs to only display the ones generated by applications. logsconsole

You can also check the Humio tab of the device to see your logs. Get familiar with Humio search query here.
