icon5.gif   Display edit time, posted by Devrim Esenturk on Wed Nov 24 08:12:17 2021 

Hi

I have a large logbook to keep office demo equipments listed. So editing entries are very often, I would like to see last editing time on my entry as entry time shown as each entry. Is there any way to do this? I checked all attributes and commands  but couldn't find any.

King regard

icon5.gif   Unclear how to use the command line tool /usr/bin/elog, posted by Jose Caballero on Wed Dec 1 12:37:57 2021 

Hello,

 

I am trying first time to use the tool /usr/bin/elog. From the documentation is not clear to if everything must be in quotes or not, if every attribute requires -a.

Here is how my attempt looks like (changing actual data by fake one):

      /usr/bin/elog -h elog-1.matrix.com -l LogBook -u jcaballero mypassword -a Team='Team Name Here' Category='Category Here' -a 'Affected service'='Name of affected service here' -a Criticality=Normal -a 'Oncall Documentation'='No modifications required' -a Subject='here is the subject line' 'here is the text'

I just get "Error transmitting message". 

Attributes Team and Category are of checkbox type. Attributes Criticality and Oncall Documentation are of radio type.

What is wrong with my command attempt?

 

Thanks a lot in advance.

Cheers,

Jose

Is there any potential impact/concern with the Log4j exploit in Elog applications?

 

icon5.gif   Adjustment of summary columns, posted by Mariia Fedkevych on Fri Dec 17 11:54:38 2021 
Hi!

Is it possible to manage the column widths on a logbook's summary page one by one?
Also, is it possible to hide the Text column without actually hiding the text body in entries (as Show Text = 0 in elog.cfg does)?

Kind regards,
Mariia
    icon5.gif   Re: Spurious characters in the searched string, posted by Phil Rubin on Mon Jan 3 19:11:08 2022 

Hi,

Ten years later...this problem shows up in my installation behind Apache, affecting only drop-down menu searches.  Test installations with elog serving itself do not show the problem, so I presume it has something to do with Apache configuration, re-routing, etc.  Unfortunately, this thread did not provide any details of the solution.

The problem looks like this:

Type:    %255ERoutine%2524
or, in the url:

https://servername/?Type=%25255ERoutine%252524

Removing 2525 from front and back of the url makes everything work.

The only rewrite entries in the configuration file(s) are:

  ## Rewrite rules
  RewriteEngine On

  #redirect non-SSL traffic to SSL site
  RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
  RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}

Perhaps there's a rewrite rule that could be added to block the 2525?  Something like:

    RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} 2525
    RewriteRule .* - [F,L]

I don't have a lot of experience configuring Apache, so any suggestions would be welcome.

Thanks.

Phil

Hi,

We have a problem with the search command: Since our last upgrade to v2.9.0-2418 the searched string is pre- and postfixed with ASCII character expressed in % format, see the attached image. The searched string is prefied with %255E and postfxed by %2524 in the URL. And teh search fails. This affects searches from drop-down menus.

Thanks in advance.

Strange. In this forum it works without extra characters. Just try it yourself. Do you have any strange configuration? Can you send me a minimal elogd.cfg which produces that error, maybe derived from the example elogd.cfg from the distribution.

 Well, It may be our implementation of re-routing web requests: The requested string in elog  is prefixed by %5E (^) and postfixed by %24 ($). But in my case, the '%' is again escaped as %25 so the prefix becomes %255E that is not understood by elog as being '^' ...

I will see with my experts in routing if this is something that can be fixed in our configuration. But when elog processes the input string, it should un-escape these characters and find back the '^', no?

 It turned out to be a setting of our re-routing of requests that re-escaped the '%'. Sorry for the noise. Cheers

 

icon5.gif   Text formatting panel inside entries, posted by Mariia Fedkevych on Fri Jan 28 17:49:35 2022 

Hello!

How can I make appear the text formatting panel (above the main text body field) inside entries?
In my logbook I do not have it (also in minimized form) and I do not find a way to enable it via elogd.cfg.

Thank you!

icon5.gif   elog@Ubuntu 18.04, posted by Carsten Winkler on Sat Jan 29 09:05:47 2022 

Hello,

I try to start elog at Ubuntu 18.04. When I run sudo /usr/local/sbin/elogd -D -c /usr/local/elog/elogd.cfg I get following error:
/usr/lib/libssl.so.10: version `libssl.so.10' not found (required by /usr/local/sbin/elogd)

I checked following:
ls -l /usr/lib/libssl.so.10
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 41 Jan 29 08:24 /usr/lib/libssl.so.10 -> /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl.so.1.0.0
ls -l /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl.so.1.0.0
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 424664 Aug 24 18:16 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl.so.1.0.0

What's going wrong? And how to solve the problem?

Best,
Carsten

icon5.gif   Password File Config Issue, posted by Mark Delaney on Fri Feb 4 23:35:27 2022 

I expanded an elog server from 1 to 3 logbooks. For each logbook there is a separate password file defined. 

When I try to add a new user in one of the 2 new logbooks using config => new user, it adds the user to the password file for the original logbook.

Have verified that access to the logbooks is controlled via the separate password files. If it would help to provide an example of the elogd.cfg or if I need to clarify further, let me know. 

Any suggestions welcome.

Thanks. Mark.
