icon5.gif   could not get the threaded display working, posted by FX FRERE on Tue Feb 9 18:49:10 2010 elogd.cfg

Hi,

I have been trying to get the display mode into threaded by default, it does not work on any of my logbooks. I saw related threads in this forum but none gave me a solution (unless the 2.7.8-2282 is available for download).

Here is a simple example which i can not get working.

thanks for your help

icon5.gif   can one use a IOption field for conditional tests?, posted by FX FRERE on Tue Feb 9 18:54:22 2010 

Hi again,

I was wondering if one could use a conditional statement on an IOption attribute? Indeed i try to do a visual logbook (a green check for OK result, a red cross for NOK result), unfortunately i cannot refer to the attributes value for conditional test, e.g:

IOptions Status= "Delete-icon.png" {1}, "Check-icon.png"{2}
Icon comment Delete-icon.png = Failed
Icon comment Check-icon.png = OK

{1} Show Attribute Edit = Attribute1, Attribute2

Thread Icon = Status

Attribute1 and 2 do not have any sense if the result was successful,

ELOG interprets the {1} and {2} as being part of the icon name!

thanks again for your help

icon5.gif   Inconsistent and long load times, posted by Fabian on Fri Nov 15 10:59:51 2013 
We recently installed ELOG and it works pretty well, but the load times are rather inconsistent. Most of the time 
it is very fast, but it also often hangs for around 5-10 seconds while loading. It seems to affect all parts of 
the page that are returned at random, so sometimes the main html file will hang, sometimes the css file and 
sometimes the images.

The hardware it is running on is nothing special, an older 3 GHz Celeron, but it should be fast enough. It is 
running on Debian 7. 

Any ideas what the problem could be, or how I could investigate it further to find the bottleneck?

The logbook only has a few hundred entries, elogd is using only around 20-30 MB and there is enough free RAM. The load 
average for the server is around 0.2, elogd only uses 5% CPU at most when it is accessed and the CPU is idle most of the 
time. 

Strangely it happens mostly when using Chrome, and almost never with Firefox. I captured the network traffic, but I can't 
see anything unusual. It just takes very long until the answer is returned by the elogd server.
icon5.gif   width of the Text column in the summary list view, posted by Fabio Rossi on Fri Nov 6 12:49:22 2009 

I have "Summary lines = 1" in the config file. The first line visualized in the summary list, in the Text column, is truncated. I'm using the default style.

Which is the way to set the number of character displayed?

I added a new parameter

Summary line length = x

for you. This is included in SVN revision 2262 (if you can compile it yourself) and will be contained in the next release.

I have already tested your patch backporting the change to 2.7.7.1. It works like a charm.

Thank you very much!

icon8.gif   kerberos authentication NOT working, posted by Fabio Sella on Wed Oct 30 17:57:38 2013 

Hi guys,

we configured a kdc server using OPENLDAP as backend. We installed on it elog and configured the Kerberos Authentication on one logbook as follows:

Authentication = Kerberos, File
Kerberos Realm = TEST.COM
Password file = ./pwd.xml

 
Detect language » Italian
 

Even if the kinit comand is retrieving correctly a ticket for the user tsearch@TEST.COM(we see it using klist and tcpdump on lo interface), elogd kerberos authentication is not working.

We tried using tcpdump for troubleshooting but no traffic is generated on the loopback interface.

Did someone solve this problem or do you have an idea on how to make the kerberos authentication working?

Thanks

icon1.gif   [Bug?] Admin restrict edit time, posted by Faith on Fri Apr 30 07:27:31 2021 

I would like to know, if the command "Admin restrict edit time = " does really work as intended.

In my case I have the following global configuration:

Admin user = <me>
Restrict edit = 1
Restrict edit time = 1
Admin restrict edit time = 10000

And every time, when I want to edit an entry (as admin), that is older than 1 hour, i get the following error message:

"Entry can only be edited 1 hours after creation"
