Problem with system_event_log automation

Configuration
1

Hi, I have a system_event_log automation which is not working:

- id: Restart_HA_on_Caldav_Error
  alias: Restart_HA_on_Caldav_Error
  initial_state: 'on'
  trigger:
  - platform: event
    event_type: system_log_event
  condition:
  - condition: template
    value_template: '{{ "problem with path handling" in trigger.event.data.message }}'
  action:
  - service: homeassistant.restart

This is the log file output:

2020-10-21 08:14:31 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.calendar] Error while setting up caldav platform for calendar

    raise Exception("The CalDAV server you are using has "
Exception: The CalDAV server you are using has a problem with path handling.

Any hints why its not working as expected? :slight_smile:

Field Description
level Either WARNING or ERROR depending on severity.
source File that triggered the error, e.g., core.py or media_player/yamaha.py.
exception Full stack trace if available, an empty string otherwise.
message Descriptive message of the error, e.g., “Error handling request”.
timestamp Unix timestamp with as a double, e.g., 1517241010.237416.

My guess is you’re looking at ‘message’ instead of ‘exception’.

Your message is probably “Error while setting up caldav platform for calendar”

While exception would contain the rest.

So, try trigger.event.data.exception?
