I'm currently running elog 2.6.5 on my (feisty ubuntu) laptop and desktop. I set up mirroring between the two which usually works, but occasionally I get an error (when sending from laptop to desktop) :

"Enty too long to display. Please increase TEXT_SIZE and recompile elogd."

When this happens my entry is shortened to 3 characters. This is frustrating as I have lost many important entries. I'm unsure why this is happening - they aren't the longest entries in my logbook (one was a one line linux command) and there doesn't seem to be anything "special" about the ones that do and do not sync. The last time I tried to sync I got this error on 3 entries and they appear to be corrupted - when I try to access them elogd stops responding.

On a presumably related note, every time I try to send an entry from my laptop to my desktop I get "Error sending local entry: Error transmitting message", though the entry has appeared to sync properly. I don't think I have ever had a problem transmitting from my desktop to my laptop.

Currently the only mirroring option I have added to my config file in on my laptop which is the IP of my desktop as the Mirror server.

I'm unsure what else I could post to help troubleshoot this problem - is it just something I've done wrong or that could be fixed with a reinstall?


I'm sorry for your trouble. The key to understand and fix this problem is reproducibility. Can you identify an entry which causes this error (of course back up the entry before trying). Then create a fresh logbook where you put only this entry. If you can reproduce the problem, can you send me that entry, together with your config files? Only if I can reproduce your problem, I can fix it.

Best regards,

Stefan

You can use the 

elog:<logbook name> 

redirection. So for this logbook, so see all entries with Category=Info using following link

elog:Forum/?Category=Info

This should work from everywhere.

I've observed the same behavior with attributes containing a dash. Would it be possible to allow '-' in attributes?

Yes. Fixed in Revision 1930.
icon6.gif   testing for the limit of the elog database , posted by Arno Teunisse on Sat Oct 6 15:39:12 2007 
Hello

To test elog i created a very large databasefile ( 071006a.log = 39MB ) via an import.
Nothing special. At the import I already got a message to increase "Max content length" to 22420822 in the global section. Below is the what i've done. There are no attachments involved, as you can see.
[global]
port = 80;
Max content length = 22420822
[DAP]
Theme = default
Attributes=Klant,Doc
Quick filter = Klant

So there are only 2 user defined fields in the database.
Everything works ......... but terrible slow : is there a rule of thumb for the size of the database ?

Yes. The rule of thumb is that currently elog runs fine for a few 10000 entries. At 100000 entries it starts getting slow. I have already in my to-do list the task to improve the performance for large databases, and I have a rough idea where the bottleneck is, but I pushed the priority low because not many people have large databases right now (but it might change in the future). How many entries do you have? (It's not the size of the entries, but the number!)

That's a quick answer. Wink I just was testing. I'm trying to introduce elog at work, so i'm not having an actual database in production. In the test database I had 125386 entries. Two column: "Customers name" and "documents".

By the way : my email address has changed : how do I change that ??

Thanks
