Quick download and plot of the latest log

[stephane-caron]

You just ran an agent on a real Upkie. How to quickly open the corresponding log for investigation?

Tip: keep a local logs directory, put the Makefile from tools/logs/Makefile in it and run:

$ make pull          # download logs from the robot
$ make foxplot_last  # open the latest log

Makefile for logs

At the time of writing this tip, the gist of the log Makefile is:

# Customize remote path to taste
REMOTE_PATH = logs

foxplot_last:  ## Plot latest log from current directory
	foxplot $(shell ls *.mpack | tail -n 1)

pull:  ## Download logs and remove them from remote host afterwards
	rsync -auvz --progress --exclude Makefile ${UPKIE_NAME}:$(REMOTE_PATH)/ $(CURDIR)/
	-ssh ${UPKIE_NAME} rm -f $(REMOTE_PATH)/\*.mpack
