Elog supports only a limited set of authentications for SMTP. Both GMail and probably also your server requires more advanced authentication schemes, which are not suppoerted by elog. Sorry.

I try with gmail account and neither it works.

I'm using Windows 10 and it runs into a proxy defined as URL

 

[global]
port = 80
SMTP host = mdm.correo.gob.es
SMTP username = XXXX@aemet.es
SMTP password = XXXXXX
SMTP port = 25
URL = http://proxy.aemet.es:3128/

 

Thanks

If you post the [global] part of your configuration, it would help a little bit to understand the problem.

Cheers, Andreas

Hi everyone.

We are new in ELOG. We have installed it and created new logbooks following the "demo" one. We have configured our SMTP host, with email and pass, but we obtain this error when submit

Error sending Email via <i>"mdm.correo.gob.es"</i>: 5.7.8 Error: authentication failed: another step is needed in authentication

Do you know why and give us some tips for solution?

It's the config from the distribution. A copy is below.

Stefan


[global]
port = 8080

[demo]
Theme = default
Comment = General Linux Tips & Tricks
Attributes = Author, Type, Category, Subject, Pinned
Options Pinned = boolean
Options Type = Routine, Software Installation, Problem Fixed, Configuration, Other
Options Category = General, Hardware, Software, Network, Other
Extendable Options = Category
Required Attributes = Author, Type

Can I find the config of the demo elog somewhere, so I could try it locally?

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!

Gmail uses a type of SMTP authentication which is currently not supported by elog. It's however on the todo list.

Hi all,

When I tried to set SMTP server of Gmail in the global configuration file, I get the message "Error sending Email via <i>"smtp.gmail.com"</i>: Cannot connect to server" after I tried to receive the Email notification. Is there anyone gives help to solve this issue?

Thanks!

Preset on reply Author = $long_name

Max wrote:

My elog has this config for the author:

Option Author = Filled In Automatically
Preset Author = $Long_name
Locked Attributes = Author

This works as intended: when you submit a new entry, the author name is filled in automatically and cannot be changed.

However, when Alice wants to post a reply to an entry the Bruce has made, the preset author name does not say Alice, it says Bruce. I haven't been able to find out how to change this (other than make the author name editable). Even when Author isn't configured as as locked attribute, it still displays the original author's name.

How can I get this to work like I want/need to?

Have you tried

Logfile = ...
Logging level = 3

Hi, I have been trying for a long time to get my web server logs to record when someone accesses my Elog server. I've tried Apache2, Lighttpd, and others, all with no luck. Either the web servers complain that the port I have Elog on is in use, or I just don't get any readings. I need to see who is accessing my  Elog from the web, and I hope there is a way.

Thanks again for such a wonderful program,

John

Just use groups as written in the manual: https://elog.psi.ch/elog/config.html#groups

Hello, Is there any way to organize logbooks in some kind of tree with sublogbooks or just have a subdirectories in a logbook directory on the filesystem (treat it as a sublogbook if its name is different from 4 digits of year and pin above all the entries in a list) to structure entires a bit?

The Makefile is kind of obsolete, I switched to CMake. So the Makefiel is mostly there as backup. To compile elog, do

elog$ mkdir build; cd build
elog/build$ cmake ..
elod/build$ make install

that should also find your openssl library, since CMake is more clever.

I personally have not yet switched to MacOS Catalina, since I have too many 32-bit programs running there and wait until all of these get updated. Only then I will be able to test elog under Catalina.

I decided to rebuild elog 3.1.4 in Catalina (MacOS 10.15.1), XCode 11.2.1.  As in previous builds, I needed to add to the Makefile pointers to openssl:

CFLAGS += -I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include

LIBS += -L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib

The make builds cleanly, no errors, no warnings.  After make/make install, elogd segfaults immediately.  I saw the same behavior with the version in gitlab.  I kept my (very) old build and was able to make install it without recompiling and it still works.

I'll crack out the debugger when I have a chance to get more information, but has anyone else seen this problem?

Wow, having these color signal lamps really looke like a cute solution, made me laugh.

No, there is no other way than the Execute new thing. I have given up long time ago to use Windows services, because they are very hard to debug and very limited. So at our site everything runs under Linux.

Have you tried to specify the explicit path of your log file? Like Execute new = echo $Status > C:\Path\Last_status.log

Best,
Stefan

Greetings!

We've been successfully running nearly a dozen separate logbooks on independent laptops -- all of them are running elogd as a Windows service. This works well, since I've also set up auto recovery options in the event that the service inadvertently stops.

Now, I have a need to place the value of an attribute of the latest log entry into a basic text file.  Of course, this works just fine if I have launched elogd -x as a normal executable, using
Execute new = echo $Status > Last_status.log in my CFG file.  However, I would like to be able to do this using the Windows service which is running in the background. 

Is there another way to write the value of an attribute into a separate file?  If not, do I have to have a special build of ELOG in order to be able to enable the Windows service to execute shell commands?  For the record, these logbooks are running on secure laptops that are isolated onto their own network, and the user is unable to edit the CFG file.

In case you're wondering about the reason for the separate text file -- I've written a separate program which illuminates one of 4 different color signal lamps (mounted on a test station), based on the latest "Status" of the test station. (Running, Idle, Broken, Other).

I appreciate any guidance here -- this is a "big deal" here, as one glance over the floor gives us an idea of what's running (or not).

Thanks!
Frank
