After going through the code of the Python API (https://github.com/paulscherrerinstitute/py_elog/blob/master/elog/logbook.py) I tried the following:
$ python3
>>> from passlib.hash import sha256_crypt

This is correct. The elogd daemon needs username and password in parameters "unm" and "upwd". The password must be SHA256 encoded,
so best is to grab it from the password file. This way one does not have to send clear text passwords over the network.

Hey,

I'm trying to integrate the Elog into our SlowControl System (Phoebus/EPICS). As a first step I translated the python library to Java. So
writing new Entries and viewing them works.

That would be a nice feature...

If you are good in parsing HTML you can achieve this feature: when you create a new entry "<elog-URL>?cmd=new", you'll get
HTML source code that provides you with all possible attribute choices.

Thanks for the tipp. I managed to use XPATH to get the values for my Type and Category attributes!

The API, I'm developing for Phoebus is quiet simple. It currently just supports Author, Subject, Type and Category as attributes and the
latter two are just lists of values.

Hey all,

In the configuration of the Elog one can use


Preset Author = $long_name
icon5.gif   length of condition names, posted by Harry Martin on Wed Dec 2 22:45:16 2020 
The documentation describing the use of conditionals uses a single character (letter or number) for names of conditions.  I don't see any update/change
to that rule anywhere in the docs.

I have been using multi-character condition names successfully.   I find these are easier to use since they can be more descriptive

Same problem here, in version 3.1.3.   It would be very nice if this worked.
