Problems seeing commands on cFS system log

[mdunn47]

I currently have a working COSMOS-cFS setup using COSMOS4 and the cFS Draco development branch along with OpenSatKit. While trying to port over the plugins and targets from COSMOS4 to COSMOS6 I am not able to view any commands in the cFS log other than the "TO_ENABLE_TELEMETRY" command. which gives the expected output and correctly enables tlm:

COMMAND CFS TO_LAB_ENABLE BIG_ENDIAN "Enable telemetry"
  #                   NAME      BITS TYPE   min VAL     max VAL    init VAL  DESCRIPTION
  APPEND_ID_PARAMETER STREAM_ID  16  UINT   0x1880      0x1880     0x1880    "Stream ID"
    FORMAT_STRING "0x%04X"
  APPEND_PARAMETER    SEQUENCE   16  UINT   0xC000      MAX_UINT16 0xC000    ""
    FORMAT_STRING "0x%04X"
  APPEND_PARAMETER    PKT_LEN    16  UINT   0x0001      0xFFFF     0x0012    "length of the packet"
  APPEND_PARAMETER    CMD_ID      8  UINT   6           6          6         ""
  APPEND_PARAMETER    CHECKSUM    8  UINT   MIN_UINT8   MAX_UINT8  0x98      ""
    FORMAT_STRING "0x%2X"
  APPEND_PARAMETER    DEST_IP   144  STRING "127.0.0.1"  

cFS log:
/TO_LAB_APP 3: TO telemetry output enabled for IP 127.0.0.1

When I use the example code for the NOOP command I do not see anything on the cFS logs;

COMMAND CFS NOOP BIG_ENDIAN "NOOP Command"
  # cFS primary header
  APPEND_ID_PARAMETER    STREAM_ID   16   UINT   0x1882      0x1882      0x1882      "Packet Identification"
      FORMAT_STRING "0x%04X"
  APPEND_PARAMETER       SEQUENCE    16   UINT   MIN_UINT16  MAX_UINT16  0xC000      ""
      FORMAT_STRING "0x%04X"
  APPEND_PARAMETER       PKT_LEN     16   UINT   0x0001      0x0001      0x0001      "Packet length"
  # cFS CMD secondary header
  APPEND_PARAMETER       CMD_ID       8   UINT   0           0           0           ""
  APPEND_PARAMETER       CHECKSUM     8   UINT   MIN_UINT8   MAX_UINT8   MIN_UINT8   ""

I tried using the general NOOP command from the Commands example file in the exact same target file (replacing the cFS NOOP example):

COMMAND TARGET NOOP BIG_ENDIAN "Do Nothing"
  PARAMETER CCSDSVER 0 3 UINT 0 0 0 "CCSDS PRIMARY HEADER VERSION NUMBER"
  PARAMETER CCSDSTYPE 3 1 UINT 1 1 1 "CCSDS PRIMARY HEADER PACKET TYPE"
  PARAMETER CCSDSSHF 4 1 UINT 0 0 0 "CCSDS PRIMARY HEADER SECONDARY HEADER FLAG"
  ID_PARAMETER CCSDSAPID 5 11 UINT 0 2047 101 "CCSDS PRIMARY HEADER APPLICATION ID"
  PARAMETER CCSDSSEQFLAGS 16 2 UINT 3 3 3 "CCSDS PRIMARY HEADER SEQUENCE FLAGS"
  PARAMETER CCSDSSEQCNT 18 14 UINT 0 16383 0 "CCSDS PRIMARY HEADER SEQUENCE COUNT"
  PARAMETER CCSDSLENGTH 32 16 UINT 0 0 0 "CCSDS PRIMARY HEADER PACKET LENGTH"
  PARAMETER DUMMY 48 8 UINT 0 0 0 "DUMMY PARAMETER BECAUSE CCSDS REQUIRES 1 BYTE OF DATA"

And I was able to see output on cFS:

`/CI_LAB_APP 8: CI: L369, cmd 100 c00 dropped, bad length=7'

In all cases I can see the packets being sent while inspecting the docker network, but I only see the output on cFS for TO_ENABLE_TELEMETRY and the general NOOP.

I'm not sure what could be causing this issue, any suggestions?

What is the 'cFS log'?

When you send a command do you see it in the COSMOS CmdTlmServer LogMessages output? Do you see the Cmd Pkts counter increment. Can you see the raw bytes using the Cmd Packets tab?

@mdunn47 Can you add some resolution notes to this ticket for anyone with a similar problem in the future?
