 I'm looking for config examples of a shift log book where operators have to check a box or select their name from a list to prove they have read the latest entries in the log, can anyone help.

 

  Thanks for your time.

Appreciate the help..

As a variant of what Stefan has suggested:

Perhaps a simple comment is set up as the pre-loaded reply - perhaps including date and time.  Maybe include the author's name in the comment, but all that is available anyway (see documentation for that).  This bit isn't vital.

Then each user simply has to *reply* to the message concerned, and you then get the list of who has read it, available in threaded view of the comment and replies.

Of course this works best with small numbers of users, and where threads are never very long.  Also, it means that you can lock the original message (prevent it being edited) which may be a particular concern depending on what you are using elog for.

You might also want to define an attribute that a reader can tick to say that they have taken action if it is important that someone has to take further action (as opposed to just reading) - and maybe that changes the colour of the background or the icon in front of the topic.  Then there would be a record as to who has done the necessary, and later readers will know the matter is for information rather than needing attention.   For example,. who kicked the power supply to the ion source on Monday morning to "wake it up" (this is true, but pre-elog, so was a paper record).  John kicked it last Monday, and the power supply respects John, may be a statistic one could find from such information recorded as suggested here.

You may want a second attribute people have to explicity select so as to show they understand what they've read, rather than just reply/submit without having read... e.g. they have to select a digit of the ticket number, or some auto-generated number (or letter, I'm not characterist) that is within the original comment.

We all know people who click on things they've never read, and come on, we've all done it at times...

Unfortunately a read confirmation is not foreseen in the Elog system. You would have to define one attribute for each shift worker, like "John has read", "Steve has read" and so on. Then each of the shift workes has to "Edit" each message an check his/her checkmark manually.

  66700   Tue Feb 2 21:52:00 2010 Question Ed Rogersedrogers@fnal.govQuestionLinuxV2.7.5-213Backing up an entire eLog

Hi, I've been using the ELOG software for about a year now. I love it! But as my ELOG becomes more valuable, I become more paranoid about potential data loss. (We've had numerous close-calls with disk failures, recently.) Is there a way to download a backup of my ELOG, all at once? Maybe a command that could create a tar.gz of all the entries and attachments? Further, is there also a command to restore from such a backup? Apologies if this question is answered elsewhere. I couldn't readily find it in the documentation. Regards, --Ed

When compiling elog on OSX 10.9 (Mavericks), I get the error below.

Elog will compile without error if I add -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=0 to CFLAGS in Makefile, but I'm not sure whether this is a good idea.

All over sudden gcc comes with its own version of "strlcpy", which I had defined "manually" since many years inside ELOG. Using -DFORTIFY_SOURCE=0 will not harm, so you can use it. The "real" solution is to take our ELOG's strlcpy/strlcat, which I did on the current SVN version.

Best regards,
Stefan 

Ok, I tried updating my SVN working copy, but I didn't get any updates past elog rev. 2494, mxml rev. 74.  I undid my changes to Makefile, tried to compile, but got the same errors.  

I then pulled down elog and mxml with git, and these are working for me with no errors.  Thanks!

SVN is obsolete and will NOT be maintained any more, since we completely switched to GIT. Actually I will disable the service soon. 

 I too am having issues installing on Mac OS X 10.9.1. I changed CFLAGS in makefile to;

CFLAGS += -O3 -funroll-loops -fomit-frame-pointer -W -Wall -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=0

I get many lines of errors like this when I run make;

Hi, I tried to set up an ELOG from a windows machine. Its functionalities work without any problem, but I cannot access at all this ELOG from any other machine. I tried to search in this forum, but with no avail.

Could someone perhaps tell me know how to fix this problem? Or did I miss something obvious in the configuration of the ELOG?

Cheers,

Duarte

Do you know which settings in the firewall panel I should change (windows 10 machine)? I went over all the access rules and could not find anything corresponding to the ELOG.

Probably a problem with your Windows Firewall. You have to convice your OS to let you in.

Speaking of windows I'd like to note that when I moved my call tracking config from a slow BSD
system (PPro 200Mhz) to a faster windows system (P3 733M) I noted a huge slow down in the
interface.  Talking about perhaps 1-2 seconds before to 10-15 seconds after.  Using
sysinternals file monitor I see that elogd is hammering each log file in the directory.  Not
sure what else is going on.  309 log files - only 1.25Meg.  

Anything I can do short of pruning down the files?

[Edit:  In both cases above my default view is filtered and sorted - so that I only see things
with a specific status.  Taking away the filtering resolves this hit - but does not explain the
speed difference between platforms.]

The maximum number or attributes is 100.

Is it possible to increase this?

Thanks!
