Anyway, Stefan <i>et al</i> have got CERN's faster-than-light particle problem to deal with this morning.

I would be too lucky if I just could fix this as I fix some ELOG problems! I guess hundreds of physicists right now are pondering about what could have gone wrong in data taking, because nobody really believes that this is a real effect.

We have about 10 logbooks running on the same Elog that all get fair use. Many people have turned off new entry emails because they were filling up inboxes, but are still interested in what's new. I saw the option to add "?last=1" to the start page, although I'm afraid using it might cause confusion over how to get to the older posts.

I was trying to figure out a way of creating a "digest" of sorts, a list of entry subjects posted in the past day or week, something similar to what's generated by "?last=1?mode=threaded", but for every logbook (similar layout to the selection page with nested logbooks). This could either be a page, or a regular email.

Is there way to generate such a cross-logbook page? What about a scheduled email formatted based on a given filter?

PS: The elog has been invaluable to us, a big thanks to all involved!

What we do is use the RSS feed of elog. This gives you nice summaries without going through your email inbox. Most browsers have RSS readers, there are also tons of stand-alone programs for that. Attached is a screenshot from the Google Reader subscribed to this logbook and to the "contributions' logbook. You see nice one-line summaries, you can expand them, and you can go directly to the logbook if you click on the arrow. The second image is from the Firefox using what they call "live bookmarks", but it's basically a RSS reader.

To make this work, I installed the RSS extension of Google Chrome (Firefox has this under "Bookmarks"/"Subscribe to this page"), then go to the elog page, then click on the RSS icon, then clicked on "Subscribe to this" via Google Reader. Just a few clicks.

 

Hope this is what you want.

Is it possible to have many roots with one elogd (or run several elogds), such that you can seaparate different groups or themes from each other:

 

electronics

Thanks.

Have a look at "top groups" in the documentation

Is there a way to setup a search, to search several log books but not all the logs books at one time?

Thanks

No. You can either search one logbook or all logbooks. There is however the way to have separate groups of logbooks, which are "invisible" from each other. Like running several elogd daemons at the same time. Then your search on all logbooks will only run on the logbooks of one group. Check the documentation for "top groups".

I have tried to set Email Format = 111 but still receiving attachments in the notification emails.  Does anyone know how to configure?  So the notification email will not include attachments. 

I just tried and it works fine for me as expected. So you must so something wrong like:

- change the wrong elgod.cfg, 

- have a typo in your configuration

- have a too old version of elogd

Why don't you upgrade to the current version and try again? I forgot when I introduced this feature, but it might be after version 2.6 which you are using.

Hello,

I tried to update our ELOG installation 2.7.8 to 2.9.0. If I try to start the service i get the error:

 

Error 193: %1 is not a valid win32 application.

I uninstalled the old version an installed the new one.

Do you have any Idea? The OS is windows 2000 Server.

Best regards

Michael

 

 

Could not start the elogd service on local Computer

Can you start elogd.exe manually in a DOS box? If you get the same error there, the download file might be corrupted and you should try to re-load it again.

 

Best regards,

Stefan

I have been using v2.6.  I works fine so far for what I need except that I could not disable the attachments in the notification emails.  Now I need to upgrade to a latest version v2.9.  However, with this latest version, I've received this error when navigate pages:  "Error: Too many parameters (> 120). Cannot perform operation".   What does this error mean?  Should I do to fix it?  I also have tested other version 2.7 and 2.8 as well.  The problem exists.

Maybe you have indeed too many options in your configuration file. Can you please post it here or send it to my privately so that I can have a look?

See

 A little more information here

We are running elog on an Ubuntu server

Elog was working fine, then, on a windows 7 machine, MS12-006 was installed, rebooted, and could no longer connect to the elog web page.

Discovered that in Internet Explorer 8, by unchecking the use TLS 1.0 in options advanced tab, and making sure that SSL 3.0, TLS 1.1, TLS 1.2 were checked, that the page once again worked.  I'm guessing the elog does not support SSL 3.0, otherwise, I assume I would have to uncheck that as well.  Things do appear to still work on XP, thus far, only Windows 7 appears to break.  While we have a work around, ideally we would like to see a bug fix so that (for legacy reasons), elog will still work with TLS 1.0 on Windows 7.

 

 Also, strangely, I am able to use the elog forum page https://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum while TLS 1.0 is checked.  I notice the version number is 2.9.0-2425, while we are using 2.9.0-2396, so wondering if this is fixed in this newer version.

The forum does not use TLS, but has Apache in front of it which works as a proxy. So TLS is actually handled by Apache, which might have a newer implementation of TLS. The ELOG version number certainly does not make a difference, I did not touch the SSL functionality in a while. But when you compile ELOG on your Ubunto server, you can maybe play with different versions of OpenSSL and see if that changes anything?
