Event based message recording

[schaubh]

Is it possible to just record messages based on events or changes?

For example, let's say I want to output a message every time we enter eclipse.
The message is simply the time we entered the eclipse.

I would like the recorded messages to simply have one message for each transition.

Is this possible?

Thanks!

The approach I have taken is just to store these summary events in a local public variable that the python code can interrogate after the simulation runs.
Satisfies my needs.

No, we don't have event based message logging. We would record the message and compare to event in post processing.

I implemented event-based on-off switching for recorders and posted the code here: #266

To do this using the built-in recorders, you need a message class. Simply logging time: "eclipse" would just be a public variable or you could maybe build your own message class for it.
