I've got things working - sort of. Ran into one strange problem that has me scratching my head. I have two different laptops, each running a local instance of their own logbook. Both are functional, but for some strange reason, one looks great, and the other is missing its graphic format. I've attached a screen capture of that logbook, and a copy of the config file. Do you see something that I've done wrong?
Thanks,
Frank

I would call the laptops the "master" being responsible for pushing data to the central server which you can call "slave"

Thanks Stephan! I guess I was making it harder than it is. I'm still a little fuzzy -- in this instance, am I correct in saying that each laptop would be considered a "master", and the remote (network) server considered the "slave"? Also, I'm not sure quite sure -- which server should be assigned responsibility for performing periodic synchronization between the laptop and the central elog server?
Thanks again for all you do -- Happy Holidays!

Sure that's easy. Install elog on each laptop separately, so they run without network. Then, set up a central elog server, and use "mirroring" as explained in the documentation at https://elog.psi.ch/elog/config.html#mirroring
So when ever the entwork comes back, you execute a manual mirror operation, and your new entries will be pushed to the central elog server.
Best,
Stefan

I have a setting which makes ELOG a perfect solution, but there's a situation that I'm struggling to get my head around. We have 3 separate laboratories, each one containing a number of temperature chambers, which run almost constantly over a number of shifts. Each temperature chamber has it's own logbook (laptop). So far, pretty simple.
My dilemma is, our network goes down for maintenance/updates (more often than I'd like), but our operation cannot afford to stop during network interruptions.
With that said, I thought about whether I could run a "local" logbook on each laptop/chamber, and somehow mirror the local logbook to the main ELOG server.
Perhaps I'm over-thinking this...do you have any recommendations?
