Logbook configuration issues

I like the logbook for looking at what has happened and if automations are triggering as they should. However, there is a lot of noise to cut out. Looking at my logbook I see…

Its working and logging everything, however, its including to much.

My main configuration file points to a logbook.yaml.

Configuration.yaml file:

logbook: !include logbook.yaml

logbook.yaml file:

exclude:
  entities:
    - sensor.last_boot
    - sensor.since_last_boot
    - sensor.since_last_boot_templated
    - sensor.pws_wind_string

along with about 50 other entries trying to narrow it down. Below are the applicable entities so they can be double checked.

What am I doing wrong here? Or do I not understand the exclude option? I have tried the logbook.yaml file with no indent and a two space indent starting with exclude:. Neither seemed to trim down the output.

Maybe try putting it directly into the configuration.yaml to eliminate spacing issues. Here is mine from my configuration.yaml

https://github.com/CCOSTAN/Home-AssistantConfig/blob/master/configuration.yaml#L27

Click the link, the spacing seems off.

I dumped my logbook config in to the main configuration file and no luck. Then I started wondering if there are to many for it to handle.

I dropped it down to just the two last boot sensors. Victory!!!.. sort of.

Im going to slowly add entities back in and see where it breaks.

Be sure to create a bug report on github so they can fix it.

i having the same problem with excluding excluding entities too …

I’ve been meaning to circle back to this. I upgraded to the latest version and meant to test again before submitting the report.

Just to close the loop on this. I upgraded to 31.1 and am now using the include/exclude and domain options and found it to be working as it should.
