Logs show block numbers in weird format

[staking4all]

Hi

In v24 and prior the logs would show the block numbers

however from 25, 26 the logs seem to have a weird annotation for the block numbers. Is this correct and a new format? Or is it a bug? The block number is now hidden inside a bunch of new additional blurb

According to telemetry the nodes is all fine and in sync.

This impacts the monitoring on my nodes as I get info from the logs to do active alerts.

Thanks

This looks like the log lines are mixed. How do you run the node? Did you tried to just run it on the terminal?

I'm running it as a service as it is a validator node. So I read this in /var/log/syslog

I just tested it now on the terminal. It does not do this in the terminal.

It has a consistent pattern and if using a regex syntax you can pull out the number consistently. For some reason when writing to the log it has this extra text. If i revert back to version 24 it works fine. This is only visible from 25 and 26 which indicates something has changed from 25 that causes this.

Hope this helps

I suspect this commit: 46faa92

By running it as service you mean you run it as systemd service?

I think the "blurbs" are just ANSI color codes.
We shouldn't be trying to print colors when not printing to the terminal.

yes, run as systemd service
