hi,  
im still getting my head around how genieacs works, im connecting to the acs with genieacs-sim but i cant see a log file. does anyone have an idea what im doing wrong?

my env is:  
GENIEACS\_DEBUG\_FILE=/var/log/genieacs/genieacs-debug.yaml

im using the data-model file that is included with genieacs-sim:

- file: data\_model\_202BC1-BM632w-8KA8WA1151100043.js
- the device shows up in the gui as: 202BC1-BM632w-000000

my admin/config is:  
key: cwmp.debug  
value: id = “202BC1-BM632w-000000”

however its not generaing a debug file in /var/log/genieacs

anyone have any idea what im doing wrong?

Cheers,  
thomas…

please ignore this, the issue was with the infrastructure, not the service.
