I started to convert some sprintf() to snprintf(), but I still have 824 cases to go... Ideally, all should be converted to std::string. Will be some job for my retirement ;-)

Currently have multiple logbooks hosted with elogd. One book is having an issue with Categories. The user regulary uses the category filtering to see one subject for the whole month. This past week it hasn't been working properly. When choosing a drop down category to filter there are not logs found. I've notice the fields under the categories change randomly. Sometimes it would add a % sign where there should be --. Some other fields go from displaying -- Subject -- to just the dashes, thats when the filtered eLogs do not show. Clearing out the erroneous characters can eventually load the specified logs. Has anyone else seen this? Should I just upgrade the system and hope for the best?

PS. while writing this I was able to mitigate the issue by removing the troubled fields from the quick filter section. I'm pretty sure this will not be an issue for my end user but any input is appreciated.

Hi all,

Quick question -- I was wondering if the current Windows Binary/Installer is now compiled for compatibility for Windows 11?  

I did look through the Forum, but the the answer wasn't really clear.  

Thanks!

Hello,

I'm trying to create config file for simple incident logbook. It should has 3 attributes:

1. source (source of incident) with options: 
   1. email
   2. jira_id
   3. ezd_id
2. Tactics (from MITRE but for simplicity I wrote only this):
   1. aaa,
   2. bbb,
3. Technics (also from MITRE but also for simplicity I wrote only this):
   1. tactics1, tactics2,
   2. tactics3, tactics4

And this is not working.

For me it looks that choosing first attribute - Source - causes problems, because after that I cannot choose third - Technics - attribute.

When I will start filling attributes from the second - Tactics - then Technics options are avaiable. 

Below is config file:

Theme = default
Page Title = ELOG - $Theme

Attributes = Source, Technics, Tactics

Options Source = Email{a}, Jira{b}, EZD{c}
{a} Attributes = Source, Adres_email, Technics, Tactics
{b} Attributes = Source, JIRA_ID, Technics, Tactics
{c} Attributes = Source, EZD_ID, Technics, Tactics

Options Technics = aaa{1}, bbb{2}
{1} Options Tactics = tactics1, tactics2
{2} Options Tactics = tactics3, tactics4

Page Title = ELOG - $subject
Reverse sort = 1
Quick filter = Source, Technics, Tactics

I will appreciate any help.

Best Regards

Hi!

I like to format an Elog "directory" such that all entries make/occur as a table. Say: 5 columns and a large number of rows. In a sense, make an excel spreadsheet in Elog. Is this possible? How can this be done? Is there perhaps a template?

Thanks in advance.

Walter Reviol

I'm not exactly sure what you want to do, but there are two options in elog:

1) Insert directly a table like this one:

2) Use one ELOG entry as a row in a table. You can try this by clicking on "List" here in the Forum should you not already see the list display, then on "Summary" which give you a spreadsheet like display, where you can specify in the config file which columns of the ELOG entries you want to see. See also the demo here: https://elog.psi.ch/elogs/Linux+Demo/

Best,

Stefan

Anyone using elog on FreeBSD nowadays?  I know it used to be in the ports tree about 10 years ago but seems to be abandoned.  Tried to compile from source on 14.1, but no luck there.

Welp, nevermind, I dug a little more and managed to compile it on 14.1 using cmake.

I am still struggling to get ELOG running behind a load balancer and hope to get some advice here. As already reported in https://elog.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/69542 I observed an infinite loop of redirects when prompted to log in and using a non-empty password file. Without a password, the service worked as expected. This was with version 3.1.3.

With the new version 3.1.4-3, I get another error: "Invalid Content-Length in header" when I click on "submit" of a new post. Viewing the logbooks works fine. The instance is currently live and running here: https://elog.test.km3net.de but I might change it anytime due to debugging etc.

This is a kind of difficult thing to debug (I spent the whole day and no progress). The only thing I've found was this post: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/iis-support-blog/invalid-content-length/ba-p/3038724 where it seems that some responses are not RFC conform and were rejected in the load-balancer.

The load balancer I use is HAProxy, the same as in my old setup where I got the infinite redirects, and I can't find any setting which would work. To my understanding, the most basic setup should work just fine. The SSL termination is on the load-balancer side so ELOG doesn't even have to know anything about it. The configuration is below. I am running a single instance, so there is not even replication with session keep-alive via cookies or anything fancy.

I also want to mention that I am runnin around 30 different services behind the load balancer and none of them are having any issues with the SSL termination or the load-balancing itself, that's why assume that something in ELOG is either non-conform or buggy.

Any thoughts? I'd really like to use the same infrastructure for the ELOG service as for every other service (automatic certificate renewal via letsencrypt, load-balancing, easy movement to other nodes, SSL termination etc.), to minimise the complexity of our Docker Swarm system.

backend be_elog.km3net.de
    mode http
    server-template km3net-elog- 1 km3net-elog_elog:8080 check resolvers docker init-addr libc,none

Btw. I am running ELOG with -v but I don't see any error whatsoever in the logs:

I put the ELOG service behind an Apache reverse proxy which is now sitting behind the HAProxy. It works like this, but it's just a workaround. I am pretty sure that ELOG has problems to communicate with HAProxy correctly and it seems that Apache is more forgiving. So that the chain HAProxy -> Apache -> ELOG and vice versa is working.

If anyone manages to figure out what's wrong, I am happy to get rid of the extra reverse proxy layer!

I have the same problem. I found a temporary solution: https://elog.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/69807

I changed elog to interprete the content-length header case in-sensitive and committed the change. Can you try again?

Stefan

I'm trying to run elog behind haproxy, but get the error "Invalid Content-Length in header" on posting.

As stated in the manual, haproxy rewrites all headers to lower case.

elogd parses the content-length header case sensitive which is against the HTTP RFC. This might also apply to other headers that get parsed.

For now I'm using the workaround from the manual:

global
  h1-case-adjust content-length Content-Length
  h1-case-adjust content-type Content-Type

backend elog
  option h1-case-adjust-bogus-server
  server elog 127.0.0.1:8080

But as the manual states, this should not be  used as a permanent solution.

I changed elog to interprete the content-length header case in-sensitive and committed the change. Can you try again?
