Discussion Elite Journal API Help : When do events log?

[jFire]

I'm having a hard time getting my Journal API parser to function properly. Its occurring to me now that I believe elite likes to batch the writing of events to the journal. Are there any standards out there as far as which events are reliably logged in something close to real time vs which are deferred? All I'm really looking for at the moment is to know when the user jumps to the next system.

Journal updates are written to the file system in very near real time. If you are accessing journal events via the Frontier API, however, then those are definitely not written in real time.

Thank you for the response. I actually just figured out this morning that my problem was not with the log files being written oddly, it was actually the file watching library I was using in node. For some reason it was only picking up some of the file writes. As soon as I switched the libraries I was able to see all events log in real time. I've nearly left a hole in my desk from banging my head LOL but it's solved.
