Probably some very strange URL form nexpose to trigger a potential buffer overflow. If I get the precise URL which crashes elogd, I can reproduce and fix it.

Otherwise my usual advice: Run elogd behind an Apache proxy and do the authentication there. This way nexpose does not get to elogd, it will stop at the Apache (without the proper credentials).

We have since discovered that the security team is scanning the box in question once a week when the service crashes, with nexpose.

So if you see something similar then you might want to explore that.

icon5.gif   mysql in execute, posted by Stefan Kanitz on Fri Dec 12 08:57:41 2008 

Hello all,

 

i have a question to mysql inexecute:

This works:

Execute new = mysql -h localhost -u root -D test1 -e "insert into `test1` (author, type) values ('$Author', '$Type')"

This doesn't work:

Execute new = mysql -h localhost -u root -D test1 -e "insert into `test2` (Autor, Adressat, Teil1, Teil2, Teil3,
Teil4, Teil5, Teil6, Teil7, Teil8 )  values ('$Autor', '$Adressat' ,  '$Teil1', '$Teil2', '$Teil3', '$Teil4', '$Teil5',
'$Teil6', '$Teil7', '$Teil8' )"

 

db is okay, i have all checked this. My question is: can the execute-command take a multiline argument? Or perhaps does somebody see a mistake i have made in the execute-line?

 

Thanks!

Steve

In the elogd.cfg file, you cannot have multi-line options. Either you put everything on a single line (I guess there is also some limit at a few hundred characters) or you call a batch file which then calls the mysql command. 

 Thanks!

Hi all,

i have problems with execute delete (execute new works fine) in following config (the attribute 'Counter' will not evaluated). Can anybody help me?

 

Here is the config:

 

Attributes = Counter, Autor, Adressat, Start, Ende, Mitteilung, TextBeachten

Show Attributes = Counter, Autor, Adressat, Start, Ende, Mitteilung, TextBeachten
Show Attributes Edit = Counter, Autor, Adressat, Start, Ende, Mitteilung, TextBeachten


Type Start = date
Type Ende = date
Required Attributes =  Autor, Adressat, Start, Ende, Mitteilung
Extendable options = Adressat
Preset Autor = $long_name
Preset Counter = SoMi-#####



Locked Attributes = Autor, Counter
Required Attributes =  Adressat, Start, Ende, Mitteilung

Options Adressat = Alle, 1. Semester, 2. Semester, 3. Semester, 4. Semester, 5. Semester, 6. Semester, 7. Semester, 8. Semester
MOptions Textbeachten = Bitte Mitteilungs-Text anzeigen lassen



Execute new = C:\xampp\mysql\bin\mysql.exe -h localhost -u root -p123456 -D screen -e "insert into somi (counter,adressat,start,ende,kumi,mitlami,lami) values ('$Counter', '$Adressat', '$Start', '$Ende', '$Mitteilung',  '$TextBeachten', '$text')"


Execute delete = C:\xampp\mysql\bin\mysql.exe -h localhost -u root -p123456 -D screen -e "delete from somi where counter='$Counter'"

 

 

 

Thanks in advance and Merry Christmas!!

Attribute substitution on 'execute delete' was not implemented, since I thought that the ELOG message ID would be used as the primary key in an SQL database, so one would not need the attributes. I added howver this functrionality in SVN revision 2159, so the next release will contain this fix. 

 This sounds very good! Thank you very much (Could you please add this functionality for execute edit too? Please :-))

For 'execute edit' this worked from the beginning. 

 Thank you!
