Is there a way to configure elog so users that have their email notification
on only get notified for updates to logs they have access to? I've looked
all through the documentation and I can't seem to find a way to do this.

If not is there some way I can work around this without to much trouble?  I
have lots of logs and would really hate to have to make configuration
changes in all of them .

Having the message body mailed to you is very convenient but some of my
users only get to see their logs. If the body gets mailed to them they get
to see everything anyway. 

When I had to use separate password files this wasn't an issue.

You guessed right. I give it a try soon as I get a chance. Thanks.

I have had this installed for about two weeks now and it seems to be working
fine. I haven't seen any problems at all and none of the other users have
reported any.

Thanks.  This is very helpful.

I would very much like to list groups instead of the individual logs on the
firs page you see after login.

Is there a way to do this? 

I think I would like: Only groups. When you click on a group, a secondary page
shows up showing logs in that group. 

I would also have the option to list all logs so you could see logs that are not
in a group or locate a log where you didn't know what group it was in. I would
also like to have the option to sort logs and groups.

I am using Elog to keep track of application servers. The log names are the server
names and they are grouped by application. The list on the first page is getting
very long.

OK, I'm willing to give a shot but I don't know how to do it. I'll look in the docs and
see if I can figure it out.  Thanks.

I don't see anyway to define a log as an attribute. May be I just don't understand
something. I have more than 50 logs anyway.

Sorting is not something I have to have but it would make the servers names a little easier
to find. However, I can get them into any order I want buy rearranging them in the config
file. I've already done that for some of them. 

Groups on the front page would make navigation easier but it really isn't necessary.

I was hoping their was a way to do this that I had overlooked.

I searched and found some problems people were having compiling it on Solaris.
However I didn't see anything else.

If your using it, was it hard to get it installed and working?
