icon1.gif   config settings to ensure replies to author, thread contributors, admin?, posted by Mark Bergman on Thu May 31 23:46:31 2007 
I'm having some difficulty configuring elog to ensure that the original author of an entry, any contributors to the thread, and a desginated administrator get e-mail notification for any change to the thread.

Here's a subset of the current elogd.cfg:
Attributes = Author, Type, Category, Severity, Subject, Entry ID, Status, CC E-mail To
Display Email recipients = 1
Email All = $CC E-mail To
Email All = mark.bergman@uphs.upenn.edu
Email Format = 47
Suppress default = 0
Type CC E-mail To = museremail

The "Suppress default = 0" setting is used because many people mistakenly subscribe for automatic e-mail notification of all our logbooks when they self-register. I was hoping that the "Email All" directives would override the suppression of default mail.

This configuration works partially...in that if a user specifically selects addresses in the "CC E-mail To" field, those people do get mail.

The documentation states that there can be multiple "Email All" directives, so I thought they would be additive--causing the admin address and the author to always get mail.

Is there a setting to ensure that the original author of the thread is always notified upon any change?


Thanks,

Mark

How about adding a config option? 
Ideally, it might be nice to have this option "per record" or "per logbook", but "per instance" should be good enough.

Ok, I added an option

Hard wrap = 0 | 1

with the default being "1", so same behaviour as before. If you set this now to zero, you turn it off.

Now waiting for the first people complaining about the very long lines not being readable...

Best,
Stefan

That's great! Thank you very much.

Hello

In my config file I have the following :

Options Head = AIX61{1},AIX53{2}, AIX52{3},HMC{4},CL_CLUSTER{5},VIRTUALIZATION{6},MICROCODE{7},BG_BLUEGENE{8}

{1} Options Topic = SECURITY, HIPER,TL00,TIPS
{2} Options Topic = SECURITY, HIPER,TL07,TL06,TL05,TL04,TL03,TL02,TL01 ,TIPS
{3} Options Topic = SECURITY, HIPER,TL10,TL09,TL08,TL07,TL06,TL05,TL04,TL03,TL02,TL01 ,TIPS
{4} Options Topic = HMC_CORRECTIVE, HMC_SECURITY,HMC_FIXES,HMC_INSTRUCT,HMC_MEDIA,HMC_DOCUMENT
{5} Options Topic = CL_DEEPCOMPUTING,CL_SYSMGMT,CL_GPFS,CL_LOADLEVELER,CL_ESSL,CL_PARALLEL_ESSL,CL_SWITCH,CL_RSCT,CL_PENV,CL_INIFINI
{6} Options Topic = PLM,VIOS_PM,VESS,VIOS,VIOS_WPM
{7} Options Topic = 2104-XU3,7017-S80,7017-S70,7020-40P,7025-F50,7025-F40,7025-F80,7026-B80,7026-H80,7026-M80,7028-6C4,7028-6E1,7029-6E3,7025-H50,702X-H70,7038-6M2,7039-651,7040-6X1,7043-140,7043-240,7043-260,7044-170,7248-43P,7043-150,704X-270,8203-E4A,8204-E8A,8844-3AZ,9076-SP,9110-510,9110-51A,9111-285,9111-520,9112-265,9113-550,9114-275,9115-505,9116-561,9117-570,9117-MMA,9118-575,9119-590,9119-595,9123-XXX,9124-XXX,9131-52A,9133-55A,9406-MMA,7037-A50,7047-185,ADAPTERS,DASD,DRIVES,CERTIFIED,OTHER
{8} Options Topic = BG_RELEASES,BG_FIXES,BG_COMPILERS,BG_REDBOOKS,BG_GPFS,BG_ESSL,BG_LOADLEVELER,BG_CSM

All is working fine when creating new entries. But when i use the  find command window,  i only see the Head options and selecting one of them,

the Topic options will not show up like they do when creating new entries.

I've installed the latest elog on Fedora ( version ELOG V2.7.3-2058 ) , but it's the same as the window version i'm using .

Would be nice if the user can search with the same items he used entering the data into the form.

Thanks for you're time.

greetings Arno Teunisse

 

 

 

icon3.gif   conditional attributes, posted by W.Koster on Thu Apr 9 10:39:34 2009 
I'm (ab)using elog as a database and would like to use conditional attributes, like:

Attributes = PC Name, Operating System, Version, Distribution
Options Operating System = Linux{1}, Windows{2}
{1} Show Attributes Edit = Operating System, Distribution, PC Name
{2} Show Attributes Edit = Operating System, PC Name, Version

Problem is that there are several conditions and the list of attributes is rather long. Also, since it's a
rather dynamic environment I have to make new attributes all the time, and adding them to all "show attributes"
 lists is not only tedious, but bound to cause errors as well.
 

So... 

I was thinking, would it be an idea to make the list of attributes to be shown or hidden on a per attribute base.

 

Like:

Attributes = PC Name, Operating System, Version, Distribution

# hide specific attributes
Hide attributes = Distribution, PC Name

# or configure which fields should be shown allways
Show Attributes = Operating System, Version

# add attributes based on OS
Options Operating System = Linux{1}, Windows{2}
{1} Show Attribute Edit = Distribution
{2} Show Attribute Edit = PC Name

(just thinking out loud here).
icon5.gif   compiling elog on AMD64, posted by Heiko Scheit on Wed Nov 17 18:52:40 2004 
When compiling elogd on AMD64 (in 64 bit mode) there are many 
warnings like these:

src/regex.c:3769: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size
src/regex.c:3769: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size
src/regex.c:3775: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size

The reason is the (int) cast, which (I think) is not necessary.
icon5.gif   compiling elog 2.6.1 on solaris platform, posted by Angus Au on Thu Feb 2 03:19:44 2006 
I came across problem in compiling elog 2.6.1 on solaris platform.

The messages "

# make
gcc -o elog src/elog.c -lutil -lsocket -lnsl
ld: fatal: library -lutil: not found
ld: fatal: File processing errors. No output written to elog
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `elog'

It seems to me that library libutil does not exist on solaris platform.

Is there any fix ? I can compile elog 2.6.0 successfully on solaris.
