I am using the CMS ELog remotely as a monitoring tool.  Information is compartementalized into dozens of containers.  I can create a find query URL, say last day, which then reloads every X minutes in Firefox.  When new ELog entries are made, then appear in the refresh and catch my attention.  But, my interests are somewhere between a single logbook and all logbooks.  If I choose all CMS logbooks for example for one day, I usually end up with > 200 entries. 

In short, I would like the ability to:

1) Select from the list of available logbooks when doing a search

2) Have more canned choices from smaller time frames, such as 1 hour or at least one shift (8 hours).

I do not see how to do this in the current elogd.cfg syntax instructions.

Thanks, Alan

 First of all have you considered using the built in RSS feed? With an RSS reader new entries are shown in a local notification box similar to new email. Some people like it.

1) This is not directly possible, but there is a trick: Define a URL to each logbook and put it into the Bookmarks Toolbar of Firefox. If you have many logbooks, this will however clutter up your toolbar. Then I recommend to make a subfolder in the toolbar and put them into it. Now firefox has the neat feature that if you click with the right mouse button on the folder, it offers you "Open All in Tabs". If you select this, you get a tab for each logbook in fireforx, and you can browse through each logbook individually.

2) This function was there long time ago (since I needed it myself) but somehow vanished. I added it back in revision 2126. You can now craft an URL like

https://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/past-8

to show the last 8 hours.

Is there any way to send email notification of only the message and not the attachment.

You have to use 

Email Format = 47

to remove the attachments. The encoding is decimal, not binary, so you have to do 1+2+4+8+32.

 In that case you have to make one logbook per user and restrict the access to it using the "Login user = ..." directive.

 Dear Stefan,

I tried Email Format =47 . still am having problems.

With Postfix limitation of 1MB elog is giving error message of 'Error sending Email via "<domain name>": 5.3.4 Error: message file too big

Without Postfix limitation, its sending email with the attachment.

Thanks

 

 I guess you are modifying the wrong elogd.cfg file. Note that you have to send a HUP signal after you changed elgod.cfg for the daemon to re-read the file. Try modifying something else (like adding a new attribute) and see if the daemon sees the change.

I don't remember exactly when this feature was added, but it would well be that it was after 2.6.3, so upgrading would help.

 Thanks Stefan. Now I have installed 2.7.4 and the problem is solved. but am having another problem. Elog is giving the same error message if the logbook has more than 5 subscribers for email notification. Upto 5 subscribers it works fine. I am sure its not postfix problem as I am able to send to more than 5 addresses in pine.

 

 There is no limitation with 5 addresses in elog. What you can do however is to turn on debugging and watch the communication between elog and your SMTP server. To do so, start elogd interactively with the "-v" flag (='verbose'), send an message and watch the output. Maybe your SMTP server sends some error code to elogd.

I am using Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard Edition.  It is up-to-date and a full legal version installed from a geniune MS disk (to put that notion out the way).  I host a variety of webpages from this server through IIS6.0.

I am having an issue after installation of the ELOG software.  I grabbed the newest version from this website and ran the executable.  It installed fine (or appeared to do so).

Upon starting the ELOG server I receive the following error:

elogd.exe - Unable to Locate Component

This application has failed to start because MSVCR71.dll was not found.  Re-installing the application may fix this problem.

 

The file in question is part of an ancient Visual C distributeable.  This distributeable for my purposes no longer appears to be available (as I am on .net 3.5).  I am unsure of downloading the older runtime libraries from sites that are not microsoft's.  I am curious as to how I could go about making elog execute.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you!

 

 I didn't realize that MSCVR71.dll is kind of outphased. I will add it to future distributions. For the moment, you can download it from the elog server directly.

How do I set a default list option?
 I have an attribute called Active with options yes, no
When I do a list I want to see just the records having yes.
When required, the quick filter allows me to see records with option = no or all the records.
Thanks

 

 There is a trick. Use

Start page = ?Active=yes

and use a quick filter on "Active". This will always start with a list where Active=yes.
