I believe there is a stunnel port for Windows, but that's more for the experienced users. I guess there is no simple solution.

Thanks Stefan,

I checked in my ELOG folder and can't find the stunnel.cfg. Is that only available in Linux? Can you please recommend a third party SMTP server for me use to successfully enable mail notif via Windows OS. Thanks much

Cheers,

Hi ELOG Community,

Please help me to configure my smtp server in Windows using gmail server

This is what in my config:

 

SMTP host = smtp.gmail.com

SMTP username = raymund.dawang@engagis.com (company email subscribing in gmail)
SMTP Password = xxxxxxx
 

And I was prompted by this error in elog: Error sending Email via <i>"smtp.gmail.com"</i>: 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first. ir5sm11631778pbc.13 - gsmtp

 

Apprecite you help. Thanks.

 

 

 

icon5.gif   log entries after a certain date not displayed - 3.1.1, posted by Mike Giles on Fri Nov 20 10:28:41 2015 

Hi,

I'm having an issue with Elog 3.1.1 on windows 10 not displaying all log entries (after a certain date) in a logbook directory.

The logbook is saved in a Dropbox folder and the entries were created on a windows 8.1 PC with 3.1.1 also.

I created an entry in windows 10, this created a new log file (new day) with a duplicate ID, deleted the log file and then the windows 10 pc displayed all entries.

Is there any way to ensure Elogd picks up all log files ?

Thanks & Regards,

Mike

Hi Mike,
I don't think that it is a good idea to have two elogd servers accessing the same files: that's what you are doing with the Dropbox folder, isn't it? ELOG is not made to be used like that.
If you want to share the same entries in different logbooks, then you should use the "mirror server" functionality in ELOG. Have a look at: https://midas.psi.ch/elog/config.html#mirroring
Cheers, Andreas

Besides the commen Andrea made I would like to add that you can convince elog to show all files if you simply restart it, then it will re-scan all files. But as Andreas said, if two elogd instances write to the same directory, you will get a mess with double IDs of entries.

Nope. Too many other things to do during my "day job".

Thank you, your eLog is already a very good instrument!

Thanks very much for your comments. I will take a look at the mirror server functionality.

I have only been running one elogd at a time, restarting elogd (on Windows 10) doesn't seem to pick up the changes made on Windows 8.1 PC (stopped elogd after changes made and log file updated)
