We do run ELOG on a Linux server and see about weekly crashes, too. It seems to be connected to the authentication process (Kerberos, File), but we could not nail it down yet.

But we have set up a supervision process that checks every minute if the "elogd" process is still running. If not, it simply restarts it.

If ELOG is down for two minutes a week, this is fine for our users.

We have always had issues with eLOG crashing intermittently...  I upgraded from Server 2003 to Server 2008 about a year ago to try to reduce the issues...  which really didn't help.

The service now seems to crash every week...  (getting worse)...  Is anyone seeing these issues in Windows servers?  Any suggestions??

 

icon5.gif   Blockying user access, posted by Gian Henriques on Fri Apr 26 18:39:11 2013 

 How can I block access to some tools (like edit, erase, config...) for each user? I want only admin users can edit, erase , etc. 

 

I want know too, how can I erase configuration of SMTP?  I make a test with the "elogd -t" command and now every time I create a new entry in my log book I receve the mensage of error to send email, cause I don't configure a SMTP host.

 Hello, you can use the "Deny" flag in the config file for each logbook.

 

Deny <function> = <user>

Example: Deny Edit = Gian

simply add as many deny functions as you would like. Its a bit of work if you have a lot of logbooks but its the easiest solution.

Hope that helps.

 

Elog Syntax guide is helpful for this stuff too.

 Thanks for help. It work's. 

 But I want to know if I can block a logbook from a user. For example I have a logbook named "Store". I want only users of the vendors have access to this log. How can I do it? 

I didn't find this in manual.

 The only way I find for this trouble is using the "Login user". But we have something best?

 I haven't found a specific way to block viewing a log book. 

I use the top groups settings to keep users in the logbooks they only need access to.

Example

Top Group = Logbook Group1, Logbook Group 2

Group Logbook Group 1 = Logbook1, Logbook2

Group Logbook Group 2 = Logbook3, Logbook4

Then only assign users for logbook1 and logbook2 that you wish to view those logbooks only. They would have to go to the specific top group url in order to view the logbooks.

Then you can go to http://elogurl/(top group)/

And essentially just have the users view the only logbooks they are assigned to.

If you install elog with the installer from the distribution, it installs elog as a windows service, which is started automatically when windows starts.
