icon5.gif   Trouble with Find and Conditional attributes, posted by Adam Fairbrother on Thu Apr 28 22:38:00 2016 

I seem to be having some trouble with Find when using conditional attributes.

when I change the primary attribute in the find field, the corrispnding secondary attribute dosn't refresh properly with the list of values.

I am able to use the conditional options as expected when creating a new logbook.

 

I am using version ELOG V3.1.1-0767eb0 running on debian wheezey (compiled from sid sources)

Hello,

Has anyone implemented an email gateway for ELOG, allowing users to submit entries by sending an email?  Granted this should be possible using the elog client binary, but I thought I'd see if I've overlooked any examples or docs first.

Thanks!

icon5.gif   Merge duplicate types, posted by John Mund on Fri May 6 16:19:10 2016 

Hello,

We have accumulated some duplicate 'types' in one of our logbooks.  Is it possible to merge them?

Thanks,

icon5.gif   elog client binary with webserver authentication, posted by Devin Bougie on Wed May 11 02:59:53 2016 
Is it possible to submit entries using the elog client binary when the server is configured with webserver authentication (when the server requires the X-Forwarded-User header)?  One option would be if the server could support both webserver and kerberos (or even file) authentication, but neither 
"Authentication = Webserver, Kerberos" nor "Authentication = Webserver, File" seem to work.

In addition to using the elog binary to talk to the elog server directly, we've unsuccessfully tried using curl to post data to the apache server url (URL in elogd.cfg).  We can read entries using curl, but haven't yet been able to submit entries.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,
Devin
icon5.gif   elog service crashes frequently, posted by Stan Turner on Sun May 22 04:05:12 2016 

We have always had issues with eLOG crashing intermittently...  I upgraded from Server 2003 to Server 2008 about a year ago to try to reduce the issues...  which really didn't help.

The service now seems to crash every week...  (getting worse)...  Is anyone seeing these issues in Windows servers?  Any suggestions??

icon5.gif   Unable to set a custom logbook dir on Debian 8 from the repository package, posted by S. Caiazza on Tue May 31 20:03:53 2016 

Dear all

I installed elog from the current stable repository on Debian 8 (jessie)

The installation went on smoothly, I modified the configuration files of the Apache server as described in the manual to use the elog in parallel with an existing webserver and then I tested. The demo logbook loads fine and I see that elog created a folder for the logbook in /var/lib/elog/logbooks, which is the directory specified by default in the /etc/init.d/elog file.

Then I modified the /etc/elog.conf file, added the following lines in the global section (custompath is a local path) 

Resource dir = /<custompath>/elog/res
Logbook dir = /<custompath>/elog/logbooks

And I created a new logbook.

After restarting the elog service the second database is correctly created but both of them are still stored in  /var/lib/elog/logbooks so it seems the global configurations in the config file are overwritten.

How can I specify the custom folder so that the new logbooks are written there?

icon5.gif   elogd dies upon search, posted by Christian Ludwig on Fri Jun 3 08:16:31 2016 

Hi all,

ELOG V3.0.0-21dc563

Our elogd dies alwways when searching for full text:

elogd: src/elogd.c:465: xrealloc: Assertion `*((unsigned int *) (temp + old_size)) == 0xdeadc0de' failed.
elogd: src/elogd.c:465: xrealloc: Assertion `*((unsigned int *) (temp + old_size)) == 0xdeadc0de' failed.

The only change we did was adding/editing entries.

 

Does anyone else encounter the same issue ?

I did not find any hint in release notes that this issue would be fixed in a later version

 

Please don't get me wrong, I am not complaining. Elog does a great job for us since years.

 

Christian
