using phosphor-dbus-monitor

[Wim Vervoorn]

Hello Lei,

Thanks for your response. I know this example too and it helps a bit but it doesn’t really clarify all issues.

As you've worked with this as well. Do you understand the meta item? The example indicates it has different meaning but doesn't provide any pointers to what those meanings are. Have you been able to find out?

Best Regards,
Wim Vervoorn

There is an example yaml config in the repo:
https://github.com/openbmc/phosphor-dbus-monitor/blob/master/src/example/example.yaml

And I have the same feeling that it's hard to know what's wrong if something is wrong.ei

@Matthew Barth Could you kindly help to add some doc/tool to make it easier to use?

I think so. This repo is intended to watch the dbus and do stuff as yaml config.
