## Logs

Cockpit can optionally record some of its received telemetry values, which can then be turned into subtitle
files when recording videos.

Currently the possible variables for logging are pre-defined, and the output format is determined automatically.
If left unconfigured, the variables that are recorded by default are those from active widgets in the selected
[Profile](#profiles). It is possible to override which variables are logged via the configuration page, but
custom widgets like the `VeryGenericIndicator` cannot currently be logged.

{{ easy_image(src="logging-config", width=600, center=true) }}

Logging is at a fixed rate of 1Hz. When a video recording completes, a corresponding subtitle file is generated
by slicing the raw log from the start to end timestamps of the video.

{% note() %}
Recorded video and subtitles are in separate files, so the browser will typically ask for permission to "download
multiple files", which must be accepted to get access to the subtitles corresponding to a video recording.
{% end %}

### Alerts

It is possible to select the desired text-to-speech voice, as well as configure which alert severities
are read out loud:
