icon5.gif   outdated debian package, posted by Chris Körner on Fri Dec 18 18:08:54 2020 

Hi everyone,

I am currently trying to setup elog as a docker container. I wonder if there is any reason why the elog debian package is stuck at version 3.1.3? Would it be possible to update it to the latest version? 

 

Thanks very much!

icon5.gif   Parsing log files, posted by Alan Grant on Fri Jan 8 05:48:45 2021 

Sometimes we change the attributes in a config file for a given tab as time goes on, which naturally can get out of sync with the older data in that tab.

I can imagine some other Elog users have encounterd this too at some point so I'm wondering if there's a utilty or some way anyone knows of that I can use to parse a log file DIRECTLY to view the older data, without using the Elog GUI?

Hello;

Could I make change on program only on the " elogd.cfg" ?

Or is there onother files, because I think there is hidden files ?

icon5.gif   elog slowness, posted by Giuseppe Cucinotta on Thu Jan 14 11:43:00 2021 

We run elog on a server to provide a logbook for our laboratory. We noticed that elog is very slow on loading pages: browser pages spend a lot of time in charging (actually one can speed the procedure refreshing the page but it is quite annoying).

I checked the server load with top and it doesn't show any abnormal CPU or memory usage. Then I ran lsof and I noticed that there are more than 200 entries related to the same elog PID and labelled with CLOSE_WAIT.

My questions are: can the slowness of my logbook be due to the presence of all these CLOSE_WAIT entries (which seems if I understood well wait for a response)? If it's the case, how can I solve this issue?

Thanks

icon5.gif   Different Top Groups or Groups have the same logbook name , posted by MATT TERRON on Tue Feb 2 04:01:21 2021 

I have built different top groups for different departments. But occasionally these different top groups have the same logbook name, say 'Maintenance Log'. So is there a way I can have the same logbook name under different 'Top Groups', rather than rename these logbooks as 'Department1 Maintenance Log' all the way to 'Department_X Maintenance Log'?

icon5.gif   elog server go to high CPU and hangs, posted by Stefano Lacaprara on Thu Feb 18 09:14:28 2021 
Dear expert,
  I'm running the latest git version of elog ELOG V3.1.4-395e101a on ubuntu 20.04.2.
I'm experiencing frequent hangs of the elog server: the status is always reported as running, but the web server is not responding.
The only hint I have of something strange is that the elogd process is using a lot of CPU (50-100%), the log do not show anything suspect 
as far as I can see.

Has anyone experienced something similar or has any idea how can I start to debug the problem?

Sorry for lack of many information, but I don't know what to look at.

Thanks in advance
  Stefano

icon5.gif   Problem in logging with LDAP and passwd, posted by Stefano Lacaprara on Mon Feb 22 12:29:16 2021 
Dear experts,
   I have a logbook which has authentication as follow

Authentication = LDAP, File
Password file = PASSWD.file
LDAP server = ldaps://it-ldap-XXX.XXX.XX:1636
LDAP userbase = ou=people,ou=RGY,o=XXX,c=XX
LDAP login attribute = uid
LDAP register = 0
Self register = 0
Allow password change = 0

Some of the my user (but not all) have issue in accessing this protected elogbook.
The ldap password is correct (we checked).
What I see in the log is as follow:

22-Feb-2021 11:25:51 [XXX.YYY.ZZZ.QQ] {Beam Run} LOGIN user "USERNAME" (attempt)
22-Feb-2021 11:25:59 [XXX.YYY.ZZZ.QQ] {Beam Run} LOGIN user "USERNAME" (attempt)

The user USERNAME is present in PASSWD.file.

For other user, for which the login works, I do see an (attempt) and then (success)

we tried the standard stuff: clear cache/cookies and with different browser. We also tried to remove the user from PASSWD.file and 
create it again, but nothing has worked.

Any suggestion how I can debug this problem?

Thanks in advance,
  Stefano
