This is what I get with -s:

---------------------------------

Successfully connected to host elog-1.matrix.com, port 80
elogd server does not run SSL protocol

---------------------------------

And the entry has not been created.

If you need HTTPS then you must specify the "-s" option.

You could have looked into the help of the elog command:

Hi Stefan,

Here is the, I believe, relevant part of the output:

Note that the URL https://elog-1.matrix.com/LogBook/ exists and works. That's how we create all our log entries via web browser. 

 

Thanks,

Please issue the elog command with an added "-v" flag and post the output here.

Hello,

 

I am trying first time to use the tool /usr/bin/elog. From the documentation is not clear to if everything must be in quotes or not, if every attribute requires -a.

Here is how my attempt looks like (changing actual data by fake one):

      /usr/bin/elog -h elog-1.matrix.com -l LogBook -u jcaballero mypassword -a Team='Team Name Here' Category='Category Here' -a 'Affected service'='Name of affected service here' -a Criticality=Normal -a 'Oncall Documentation'='No modifications required' -a Subject='here is the subject line' 'here is the text'

I just get "Error transmitting message". 

Attributes Team and Category are of checkbox type. Attributes Criticality and Oncall Documentation are of radio type.

What is wrong with my command attempt?

 

Thanks a lot in advance.

Cheers,

Jose
