  1957   Mon Sep 25 15:30:48 2006 Question Dimitrios Tsirigkasdimitrios.tsirigkas@cern.chQuestionLinux2.6.1Invalid addresses block email notifications
Hi Stefan,

We have had problems with some users who subscribe for elog notifications using fake email addresses. When this happens, e-mail notifications stop working for all users and I have to find out which is the problematic email address and fix it myself. Is this a known problem? Is there a fix in a version newer than 2.6.1?

Thanks,
Dimitris

Hi Stefan,

I have posted an entry of approximately a thousand lines (ten thousand words). Posting it took some time, which is logical to a certain degree. However, whenever a user asks for "Full" view of the logbook, the page takes around two minutes to load and the CPU usage on the elog server goes to beyond 90% for all this time. Is this to be expected for an entry of that size or is there something going wrong here?

Thanks,
Dimitris

I improved the performance by some factor in SVN revision 1733. Can you give it a try and report your speed improvement? Depending on the result, I can probably do even a bit better with some more effort.

Dear Stefan,

Thank you for your quick reply. I will install the new version and I will let you know as soon soon as possible.

Best,
Dimitris

The problem lies in the ELCode parsing. When you post an entry in ELCode form, the elogd server has to parse every word to see if it's any of the ELcode tags. This is right now implemented in a kind of poor way, such that it takes very long for long entries. I will work to optimize that. In the meantime, it will help if you post such long entries just in "plain" form.

Hi again,

I was wondering what is the cleanest way of changing old entries already submitted in ELCode into plain text. If I do not include ELCode in the allowed encodings does this apply to already submitted entries as well or will they still be treated as ELCode?

Thanks,
Dimitris

Did you try the new version, would be interesting to see if it's any better...


I didn't find the time to try it yet but I will do that later today. I will keep you posted - more soon.

Hi Stefan,

A lot of performance-related trouble for us comes from the ability of users to click on "All" and display thousands of entries on the same page. Is there a way to disable that? Even if the ELCode parsing performance of Elog increases greatly, the combination of "Full" mode and "All" will still cause trouble, will it not?

Thanks,
Dimitris

What about a threshold for the "All" display? If a logbook contains less than, let's say, 500 entries, the "All" link is displayed, and above 500 entries it's hidden. Would that make sense?


Hi Stefan,
Sorry for the late response, I was away for a few days. Yes, I think that this would make perfect sense, especially if the maximum number of entries was configurable.
Cheers,

  66972   Mon Dec 13 20:59:07 2010 Question Diego Obradors Camposdiego.obradors.campos@cern.chQuestionWindows2.8elog as a service in windows not detect Imagemagick

I have installed elog 2.8 in a windows pc with the installer from the distribution, it installs elog as a windows service, which is started automatically when windows starts.

It is done as:

"C:\Archivos de programa\ELOG\elogd.exe" -D -c "C:\Archivos de programa\ELOG\elogd.cfg"

Moreover Imagemagick and GhostScript are in the path:

Version: ImageMagick 6.6.4-6 2010-09-21 Q16 http://www.imagemagick.org
Copyright: Copyright (C) 1999-2010 ImageMagick Studio LLC
Features: OpenMP 

However the indexing loogbooks are only working  fine when elog is started interactively.  Is there any posiblity to start elog as a service and use thumbnails for quick preview?

Thank you in advance!
