 | Roland Gsell | roland.gsell@oeaw.ac.at | Info | Linux | 2.9.1-2435 | Access rights | Hi,
the manual says:
"
There are four ways through which access to a logbook may be controlled:
it may be open for all to read ;
it may require a common "read" password for all users ;
it may require each user to have an individual user account (login name) and password ;
finally, access may be granted or not depending on the address of the workstation you are using.
"
But it doesn't say how to do so or at least I didn't find it.
If I have each user have to log in with an individual accout, can I define which logbooks he can read and/or modify?
If yes, how to do that?
Also, please accept my vote for user groups. We can use that, too.
TIA,
Roland. |

| Tim Thiel | tt2005@thieleng.com | Question | Linux | 2.9.0 | HW Requirements to run elog / Performance issues running on ARM | Our group is interested in installing elog on a small/low-cost processing platform so that we can provide ready-to-run systems for our collaborators to use. We selected a candidate platform form Technologic Systems, their wifibox-2 (http://www.embeddedarm.com/products/board-detail.php?product=TS-WIFIBOX-2). This product is based on the TS7553 CPU board (http://www.embeddedarm.com/products/board-detail.php?product=TS-7553#) which has a 250MHz Cavium ARM9 CPU.
We have had good success getting the elogd executable cross-compiled for use on this platform and have a working system. However, we are having significant issues with performance. When we click the "New" item to enter a new event there is a noticable delay. When clicking "Submit" there is a delay of approximately 10 seconds before the browser window displays the new event. With the elogd running on other platforms (Virtual Machine or netbook) the delays for these actions are very small - typically less than a second or imperceptible.
So here are some specific questions:
- Is it reasonable to expect a 250 MHz ARM processor to serve an elog logbook with user acceptable performance?
- Our cfg file is attached. Is there anything in the cfg file creating this performance problem.
- I have spent some time looking at this, and suspect that the delay is due to the cpu load of all the string manipulation and comparison operations (1200 calls to getcfg() on a submit). Are there other candidate sources of performance issues that should be considered?
- Does anyone have any suggestions on how to improve our performance?
- Does anyone have a suggestion for an alternative small and low-cost COTS platform to use to host the elogd application? (We would prefer to attain satisfactory performance on the Wifibox-2.)
Thanks for any help that can be offered.
Tim

| NOCinator | tgeis01@gmail.com | Question | Windows | 2.9.0 | ELOG 'Dashboard' | First, I really appreciate this software. Thank you.
Next, I have question - am wanting to have a 'dashboard' of sorts that shows all entries that are 'open'. That part is easy enough. But, then I want to color the time (or some other field) if the ELOG has not been updated/created for more than X hours. This will help us keep track of events that need status updates.
Doable?
Thanks! |

| Roland Gsell | roland.gsell@oeaw.ac.at | Question | Linux | 2.9.1-2435 | Periodic backup doesn't work .. | Hi,
I installed ELOG on other machine for making automatic backups. I copied the .cfg file to the slave and edited the .cfg file on the original machine (mirror server entries).
(automatic configuration with -C didn't work somehow - maybe a firewall problem)
Then I tried to synchronize manually, which works great.
I set the mirror cron = 0 7-18 * * 1-5, as written as example in the documents, but nothing happens at full hours.
There's something else strange: I can't access "https://lx0.mydomain.org/" or "http://lx1.mydomain.org:8082/" directly. The browser just keeps loading - showing an empty page (and an error message after a long while). I have to add the name of the logbook to the link. Why is that?
If I set different paths in the [global HBAR] and [global SMI] areas (like URL = https://lx0.mydomain.org/hbar/), I can access the links above (giving me the overview page as expected), but I can't access the logbooks itself anymore.
However, that's not a big problem (I can access the logbooks via direct link and see all the others in the same group and switch to them), but the backup thing is.
So, main machine is lx0.mydomain.org and the backup machine is lx1...
Attached are my config files.
I deleted many of the logbook specific entries, since they aren't important and just look like the first one.
Hope anyone can help,
Roland. |

| Tim Thiel | tt2005@thieleng.com | Question | All | 2.9.0 | How does SVN info get placed in source? | In the elogd.c file nearly at the very top is the following line:
char svn_revision[] = "$Id: elogd.c 2411 2011-04-01 14:39:35Z ritt $";
How does this information get into the source file? Is it a script used when the svn changes are committed, or perhaps when they are checked out? Any details or pointers to info on the web would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

| Ocane | reuldky@yahoo.com | Question | Linux | 2.9.1-2435 | Protect Selection page=1 | Hi,
I have several top groups and each has several logbooks.
If I use the global option Protect Selection page=1 and Show top groups = 1, after an user logs in to the top group selection URL, the elog steers away from the top group selection page, and automatically brings him to the logbook selection page of the first top group. Is the elog programmed to exhibit this behavior?
What I would prefer is that, after an user logs in, the elog stays on the top group selection page, sine each user has his preferred destination, not always the logbooks in the first top group. Is there any setting I can use in the config file to do this?
(My users need to access different top groups and logbooks on regular basis).
Thank you and regards. |
