I automatically install software on 3 machines in our lab, and at the end of the process, use eLOG to record relevant information for each machine (all running Windows XP) via the command line program elog.exe.  2 of the machines log their info correctly, but on third machine, I get the following error:

    Cannot retrieve host name: No error

The error is not very clear (i.e., the error is "no error"?), and furthermore, operationally, the error makes no sense to me, for the three machines are supposedly configured the same.  Additionally, the elog.exe used is stored on a network drive, as are the other batch files that all3 machines use, so it is not as a problem could creep in due to differing versions/configurations of files.

Just in case I am overlooking something, here's the command line invocation (I've X'd out sensitive information):

C:\>x:\@adat\tools\elog.exe -h max13 -l "Maxtee" -u xxxxxxxxxx xx1234   -a Tester=AULS_xxx_y    -a M
achine="Mercury 99"   -a "Module Type"=Controller   -a "Action Description=Configuration Change"   -
a Title="AULS upgraded to 1.2.7344 from [1.1.7343]."   -a "Card Count=998352"   -m X:\@ADAT\InterimP
F\MERCURY29.Blat_Msg1_PostBoot.TXT 1>X:\@ADAT\InterimPF\MERCURY29_eLog_CmdLineOutput1_(PostBoot).txt

Cannot retrieve host name: No error

Obvoiusly, there *must* be some configuration difference between the 2 working and 1 non-working machine, but I am at a loss to figure it out.

I am not sure which version of eLOG is being used, but the size of the elog.exe is 139,264. 

I suggest a new option be added to display the version information, or display the version info whenever eLOG is execute, or display the version info when "-?" option is used.

Hello,

I am trying to update from version V2.7.2-2041  to V2.7.3 but getting the attached error message. OS is Windows 2003. I installed the update on Windows XP without a problem. Does anybody know ho to solve that problem? Thanks!

Sorry to bother you with this, but I am not a programmer and this is probably a simple question but I need some help if someone has the time.

Under Global I have the command   -  SMTP host  = smtp.comcast.net

ELOG responds with  -  Error sending Email via "smtp.comcast.net": 5.1.0 sender rejected : invalid sender domain

In der Config-Datei habe ich den Eintrag "language = german" vorgenommen. Was unter Windows funktioniert, verweigert mir Linux: Die Umstellung des Logs auf Deutsch. Wer kann helfen?

Hi,

I've just upgraded from 2.6.2 to 2.7.3.

In my config file, I have

Quick filter: Date, ID.

When starting 2.7.3, across the top I now get 

"Error: Attribute "ID" for quick filter not found"
followed by an entry box.

If an ID is typed into that box, it sort of finds the right entry (+/- a few on occasion).

I cannot see any documented change that would affect how the Quick filter works.  Any clues?  Thanks.

Can I control the content of the Subject on an email notification?

i.e. Can I copy the subject from the elog entry into the email subject?

Thanks,

//Bill

I no longer get an error message when I try to send an email (I get the "email sent" message) but the email never arrives.

Thank you (in advance) for any help.

My elog.log looks like:
