 | Stefan Ritt | stefan.ritt@psi.ch | Question | Windows | 2.9.2 | Re: Windows Server 2012 - moving logs |
Just stop the server. Move your elog directory to the new server (including elogd.cfg, logbook directories, ...). Then check that the elogd.cfg needs modifications, like the URL which might have changed, then start the new server. V2.9.2 did have an old data format, which *should* be converted automatically. But first try it out before deleting the old server.

We are installing a new data center which will be based on Windows 2012 servers. Our current center is on Windows 2008 and will be decommissioned this year - 2008 servers (because of the security issue) will not be allowed in the new data center. So game plan is to install latest ELOG (3.1.2) on the 2012 server at the new data center and move the logs over from the 2008 server. I've looked through entries and do not see anything about moving the logs over from one system to another. In this case there are 2 concerns:
1. Has anyone moved the log entries from one system over to another?
2. Since we are also looking at updating version of ELOG - are there conversion steps necessary for the log entries or will v3.1.2 be able to use the log files from v2.9.2 as is?
Thank you, Lesley

| Stefan Ritt | stefan.ritt@psi.ch | Question | Windows | V3.1.4 | Re: custom subject for mail info |
Use Email subject = $Subject
or a bit more detailed
Use Email subject = ELOG Ticket: "$Subject" posted by $Author

Hello,
we are extensively using ELOG for documenting changes in our infrastructure. It is very helpful for us.
To avoid multiple documentation efforts it would be even more helpful if the subject of an ELOG entry also could be the subject of the mail which is sent out. With that we could send mails to our ticket system and include the special ticket number to make the right assignment in our ticket system.
Does anyone know if this could be accomplished with the latest version of ELOG?
Best regards,
daniel

| Stefan Ritt | stefan.ritt@psi.ch | Question | Windows | 3.1.4 | Re: How to pre-fill an attribute that was added later |
Find all entries which have this attribute empty. Then click on Select, then select all, then click on Edit, then change all values. There might be a limit how many entries you can select in one go, so you might have to do it in bunches.

Dear all,
I have a question about my logbook. I have recently added a new attribute to my logbook and I would like to prefill all previous entries with a fixed value for this field. Is it possible?
Thanks for your help and best regards,

| Stefan Ritt | stefan.ritt@psi.ch | Question | Windows | 3.1.4 | Re: Write by a .dll instead of the elog.exe |
I presume you want to write from another program. You can call a command line shell (done via the "system()" command under C) which then calls the elog executable. If you absolutely want a DLL, you can einter try to compile one yourself using the fuctions in elog.c, or use the curl DLL with which you can also submit elog entries. See elog:68597 for usage of curl. While curl is usually executed from the command line, there is also a curl library containing the same functionality. See https://curl.haxx.se/windows/

For demonstration, I created https://elog.psi.ch/elogs/Linux+Demo/8
The Find search for category aaa(bb) does not give results.
A quick filter corrects the value to aaa\(bb) and delivers results.
I made a simple fix and submitted it as PR to the bitbucket repository.

| Stefan Ritt | stefan.ritt@psi.ch | Other | Linux | Windows | Mac OSX | All | Other | ELOG V3.1.2-bd7 | Re: Calculations & Interfacing a DataBase with Elog. |
Yes elog stores data in a flat file database. Go to your logbook directory and look for files YYMMDDa.log where you find all data. Some people do a post submit call to scripts, other integrate JS directly on each page (e.g. via "bottom text" option where you can load a whole JavaScript file), then pick the fields and do calculations directly in the edit window.

Hi, I am trying to calculate two or more Elog fields and then return the value to Elog. I am currently learning Perl to do this. I realize JS can do this.. but so can IBM Basic ;) I am savy with other db techniques like sql. My question is before I get too far along with this project, is it safe to say the current storage of Elog data is 'Flat File' database? I also want to find out if it would be better to try and grab the data prior OR after it gets into the Elog database. I see there are other forum messages related to sql interfacing and such, but nothing conclusive. I will submit my personal progress here. Thanks again, John

| Stefan Ritt | stefan.ritt@psi.ch | Question | Linux | 3.1.3 | Re: tags #testtag |
While tags are not explicitly foreseen, you can use moptions and filter with them. Look at this logbook for example: Click on "Find", then select one or more boxes of the "OS" attribute, and you will see the filtering. Another option is to use freetext in the subject for example. I added "#testtag" in this subject, so you can search for the text "#testtag" and will find this entry.

Hello,
Is it possible to create tags for new entries in elog? I understand it would have to be some kind of mix between Extendable options and moptions. Currently, whatever is entered in extendable options forms one option, while usually for tags, words separated by # form different tags. As usual with tags, I would like to add multiple tags to my new entry and then be able to filter all entries by specific tag or group of tags.

| Stefan Ritt | stefan.ritt@psi.ch | Question | Linux | 3.1.3 | Re: Drag and drop does not work in 3.1.3? |
The Drag & Drop was implemented already in 3.0.0 (see https://elog.psi.ch/elog/download/ChangeLog). So no idea why it's not working for you.

Hello,
I can paste images into text (which resulted in the text_size too long error message), however, I can't drop them on my elog. However, I can do it on the demo version. Was the drag and drop into text already supported in version 3.1.3 and I am just missing some configuration option, or do I need to find a repository with a more recent version of elog?
Thanks!
