Hi Damian, thanks for your feedback! I'm replying a few things inline.

I'm still keeping a few nyx lines around because I'm trying to do the
following:

* When erebus starts, it will send log entries from server to client
dashboard. Which logs to send will depend on how erebus was invoked
(e.g. run_erebus -L A for logging all event types).
* The user would be able to change logging event types from the client
dashboard (on a checkbox), but this selection has to be reflected on the
server too, otherwise the client dashboard might be filtering certain
type of events just on the frontend but the server will still be sending
other type of events.
* My goal is to make the client dashboard to send a notification to the
server informing which new event types to log, and the server will
update its behavior. The client dashboard will then continue to receive
log event types without doing any changes by itself, because the server
would be the one who updated its log event filter.

Something similar happens with log dedup, and {log,bw} prepopulation.

I'm very close to make this work, by defining a kind of "protocol" in
which the client dashboard can send notifications to the server. If this
works, it could be the starting point to further add functionalities as
"editing the relay nickname" (and such) from the client dashboard.

I first call init_log_handler on starter.py. Then, when the Tor control
connection is made, I call log_handler again (on
controller.py:_start_tor_controller).

Will do.
