The synchronize feature is totally worthless to me.

First of all the automatic backup doesn't work - and nobody seems to know why - and pressing the synchronize button by hand from time to time also doesn't work if the entry is too big:

Error sending local entry: Error transmitting message

So, copying the files manually helps, but for this I don't need a "fancy" synchronize feature.

This gets handled automatically by SVN. All you have to do is to put an "$Id$" in your text somewhere and enable the keyword ID. See for example

http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.4/svn.advanced.props.special.keywords.html

In the elogd.c file nearly at the very top is the following line:

char svn_revision[] = "$Id: elogd.c 2411 2011-04-01 14:39:35Z ritt $";

How does this information get into the source file?  Is it a script used when the svn changes are committed, or perhaps when they are checked out?  Any details or pointers to info on the web would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi,

I installed ELOG on other machine for making automatic backups. I copied the .cfg file to the slave and edited the .cfg file on the original machine (mirror server entries).
(automatic configuration with -C didn't work somehow - maybe a firewall problem)

Then I tried to synchronize manually, which works great.
I set the mirror cron = 0 7-18 * * 1-5, as written as example in the documents, but nothing happens at full hours.

There's something else strange: I can't access "https://lx0.mydomain.org/" or "http://lx1.mydomain.org:8082/" directly. The browser just keeps loading - showing an empty page (and an error message after a long while). I have to add the name of the logbook to the link. Why is that?
If I set different paths in the [global HBAR] and [global SMI] areas (like URL = https://lx0.mydomain.org/hbar/), I can access the links above (giving me the overview page as expected), but I can't access the logbooks itself anymore.

However, that's not a big problem (I can access the logbooks via direct link and see all the others in the same group and switch to them), but the backup thing is.

So, main machine is lx0.mydomain.org and the backup machine is lx1...

Attached are my config files.
I deleted many of the logbook specific entries, since they aren't important and just look like the first one.

Hope anyone can help,
Roland.

Unfortunately not. What I would do is to define a quick filter, so with one click all 'open' entries are shown. Then you can look at the date column and see how long they have been open (actually when they have been submitted, so the difference you must calculate in your head!). 

 First, I really appreciate this software. Thank you.

Next, I have question - am wanting to have a 'dashboard' of sorts that shows all entries that are 'open'. That part is easy enough. But, then I want to color the time (or some other field) if the ELOG has not been updated/created for more than X hours. This will help us keep track of events that need status updates.

Doable?

Thanks!

No.
