No entries in Logbook

Configuration
1

I don’t ever seem to get any entries in my logbook

I have the component added to my configuration.yaml
logbook:

I have not added any includes or excludes.
But nothing is logged, at all.
Is this normal?
If I call a service to add an entry I still don’t get anything?

Do you also have recorder enabled? Logbook depends on recorder.

This I cant remember, I will check tonight

Hopefully not! And it will be a simple fix and solely down to my idiocy!

this was the problem.

For some reason I had disabled the recorder
