"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,

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. |

Re: Too many logbooks during user registration, posted by Steve Jones on Tue Sep 11 15:30:11 2007

| Steve Jones wrote: | Stefan, we require registration with elog. We have quite a number of logbooks and when someone requests a login account AND elects to register with all of the logbooks, the resulting URL is apparently too long for browsers to handle when the admins click on the link embedded in the email notification. For example, FireFox (latest ver) appears to truncate the URL *after* submission (the correct URL is there before submission).
My question: Is it possible to limit - or remove - the checkboxes that the user can select during registration? I realize that this is a browser issue but I doubt I can persuade those guys to fix FireFox.
Thanks. |
I changed the current SVN version (#1909) to show only the list of logbooks if there are ten or less logbooks, in order not to make the URL too long. On the activation by the administrator, the list of subscribed logbooks appears as previously, but all are unchecked. So it's the task of the administrator to enable subscriptions or not. |
| Quote: | So the list is shown to the one requesting the registration? Would it be possible to have an option that, when selected, simply did not list any logbooks? I can see a customer becoming confused if they did not see their logbook listed. Just turn off the selection completely.

Thanks!

I agree, that's inconsistent. So I removed the logbook list completely (SVN revision 1914) and added a note on the user notification that they should click 'config' to subscribe to any logbook. |

For instance we upload router config files (to record changes)and having the exact upload date would be a big enhancement, especially when there are a lot of attachments. |
There is already a time and a date stamp. If you look in the logbook directory, you see attachments preceded with the date and time when they were submitted. You can see this date/time when you click on the attachment, such as in
http://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Config+Examples/040519_000348/elogd.cfg
where you will see it even in the URL (May 19th, 2004, 0:03:48) in the above case. I agree that this is not so obvious. If you make a proposal where this date/time should be displayed, I can easily add it. |

Re: testing for the limit of the elog database , posted by Stefan Ritt on Sat Oct 6 15:44:51 2007

| Arno Teunisse wrote: | 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!) |
