Hey,

I'm trying to integrate the Elog into our SlowControl System (Phoebus/EPICS). As a first step I translated the python library to Java. So writing new Entries and viewing them works.
But for Phoebus, you need a list of the possible values for the attributes. Currently this is done via the config file from Phoebus.

Is there a way to get the values also via a query directly from the Elog?

Cheers,
Florian

Does anyone have a method to query the log file?  I wish to automate a summary report based on a defined timeframe (8hr shift) and deliver a report to the owners/managers of the logbook. 

maybe even generate the summary report as an HTML entery within the logbook, encapsulating the enteries queried with the hyperlinks intact to the entries in question.

Anyone have something like this? Hate to recreate the wheel. I will share if I come up with something

The help text on the website says the following:

"The command Select can be used to select multiple messages for deletion of
moving to other logbooks."

This is not clear but was the intent to indicate that SELECT can be used to
either select multiple log entries for deletion OR for moving to another
logbook?  If the latter, then this does not work if one adds the MOVE TO
menu item to the list.  If the former then the helptext is a little misleading.

Thanks!

I'm not sure if this is a configuration problem or a bug, but running
v2.5.4subver1.413, elogd runs as user ROOT (UID0) even though the following
is in the elogd.cfd file:

Usr = nobody
Grp = essadm

All other directives added to the cfg file work, so I know eLog is reading
the cfg file.  

The elogd binary *is not* setuid 0.

Thanks

I'm trying to run elog 2.6.0-beta4 under Apache 2.0.  I follow the directions, and everything works fine, so my
elog runs as

http://grattalab3.stanford.edu/elog/

running under port 8082, with the following lines in my httpd.conf file

 Redirect permanent /elog http://grattalab3.stanford.edu/elog
 ProxyPass /elog/ http://grattalab3.stanford.edu:8082/

This machine has an alias, which is http://exo-elog.stanford.edu.  My question is, how can I run elog so that
when someone types in this name, it brings up my elog? I know that I can make a VirtualHost entry and put a
redirect at the document root of that virtual host, but that seems clumsy.  Can I just modify ProxyPass or add a
Redirect statement somehow?

Thanks!

A problem recently developed for our elog...after running without much problem the elog daemon was restarted on an ubuntu server running apache2. Now the server gives 502 Proxy Error messages:

Proxy Error

The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.
The proxy server could not handle the request GET /elog.

Reason: Error reading from remote server

I did a force-reload of apache after making sure the modules are enabled. I also restarted elogd but to no avail. One symptom seems to be that the GET request is empty...that is before it was:

"GET /elog/sample_elog/etcetera HTTP/1.1"

but now it is just

"GET /elog HTTP/1.1"

Just started out of the blue...

Any ideas?

Having made one entry in the thread about message ID, I could neither edit the entry or add an additional reply
without getting "Proxy Error" messages.  I've had this trouble on this forum before, a long time ago.  Perhaps
it is connected with the html coding?
