Re: number of attachments limit

Devin Bougie wrote:

Hello,

Is there still a limit of 50 attachments per topic? If so, is there or could there be a parameter to change this setting?

Thanks,

Devin

The limit is defined in elogd.h:

#define MAX_ATTACHMENTS 50

I never thought that someone wants to have more than 50 attachments, since it will take forever to upload them. You can change the value on your own risk and recompile elogd. At some point you will run out of stack space, in which case elogd will crash, but you could increase the heap memory with a linker option. Just google for it.

Best,

Re: notification error services in CentOS 6.5

The init script supplied with elog was originally written for Redhat. It seems like CentOS has slightly changed the init daemon management, but I'm not an expert on that, nor do I have CentOS installed. If somebody comes with a fixed elogd.init for CentOS, I'm happy to include that in the distribution.

Bug fix

Linux

3.0.0

Re: notification error services in CentOS 6.5

The quick fix I found was to uncomment line 10 in the init.d file. (This was tested on a CentOS 6.8 AWS instance.)

. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions

This will allow the status command to function properly.

Clean install:

[centos@ip-172-31-51-59 ~]$ service elogd status
status: invalid option: -p

After uncommenting line 10:

[centos@ip-172-31-51-59 ~]$ service elogd status
elogd (pid 11438) is running...

When you start elog it still won't show that the service started successfully (No 'OK'). If you go to stop the service, it will give you the proper 'OK' indicating it stopped successfully.

So to fix the missing 'OK' (or 'FAILED') we need to update the start section around line 51 as follows:

touch /var/lock/subsys/elogd
echo_success
else
echo_failure
fi
echo
;;

I've attached my modified init file which I believe corrects the above issues. I will say though that I'm not a programmer so I won't guarantee it's perfect. ~~I haven't checked to see if CentOS 7 works with this modified version.~~ Just checked it on a CentOS 7.2 AWS instance and it also appears to function correctly.

I did so and fixed several errors. Now the W3 validator doesn't complain any 
more. New version under CVS.

Re: no availability of el8 and el9 rpm

Hi,

EPEL retired the ELOG package for security reason.

You can build from GIT source as described in elog:Forum/69732 .

As SPECfile don't manage el8/9, you have to activate manually service thru "systemctl enable elogd" then "systemctl start elogd".

Hi,

I checked the RPM download page and found that there is no RPM available to install ELOG on el8 and el9 based OS.

Can someone upload the RPM for el8 and el9 on the download page of ELOG?

Re: no availability of el8 and el9 rpm

> EPEL retired the ELOG package for security reason

no, this is not what happened, we (I) requested removal of elog packages from epel, debian and ubuntu because they had obsolete pre-cve (insecure) 
versions that should not be used. they were very pleasant, quick and efficient dealing with this. (but obviously they could not retroactively 
remove elog from old versions of ubuntu and debian).

we opted to not reclaim ownership of these packages (original person who created these packages had drifted away) because
none of us know how to create debian packages and all of us (speaking for myself) know how much PITA is building RPM packages.
plus I do not know if Stefan has access to el8 and el9 machines (I do not, we are moving to ubuntu/debian wholesale).

I recommend building elog from git sources. it is simple, two commands (git clone + make) vs one command (rpm install),
it ensures you always have the latest version available, it is easy to update (git pull + make) and you do not
get any surprise updates (from nightly apt update/upgrade).

K.O.

Yep i remind now. Finally the result was the same :-(
if CVEs had been fixed in repo, you should make a new official ELOG version and update download site with tarball, .exe and RPMS. Almost End-users do not use git repo...

I spent one hour yesterday to install almalinux in VM on my laptop, clone repo, rebuild ELOG RPM, install the new rpm and start elogd. 
You should have several VM on a shield for that :-P

The problem of building ELOG is that it needs a development machine with C++ and dependencies installed. This is not present (or forbidden) in production machine/VM...
End users need simple package (rpm/pkg/*) to install it as all other products, with the confidence that this package has been testing...
Also, "git clone and make" should be surprising, as the devs use a particular environment that should be different from user's one. 

The future is maybe something more universal as Flatpak/SNAP/... 

Btw thanks for ELOG program and support.

Bye
