Dear Friends,

Anyone managed to compile elog on AIX 5.2 or 5.1 ... is there a binary 
anywhere?

new to "C"

kind regards Aamir

Hi,

I was wondering what is the correct way so that the author field when a reply is made shows the author of the
person making the reply.
In version 2.6, the field was filled correctly but since upgrading to ELOG V2.9.1-2435 due to the ssh problem
the field just keeps the author of the original post.

I have a tried a number of subst on reply Author = $long_name with no luck.

Any ideas?

Cheers,
Aldo

Hi,
I've change my Attribute "Maint." to "Maint" in my elogd.cfg and in my Logbook too 
but the problem is the same, I have restarted the service but the problem is still 
here. Any idea? o_O

Yes I have upgraded Elog to 2.5.8-2.
I submit my new elogd.cfg file maybe it will help you.
I have try the preset text under Firefox (the last), avant browser 10.0 
(build 165) and IE 6 SP1.

Thanks for help :o)

Ok I have fix the problem :)
Options Type = FWL1{1}, FWL2{2}, FWL4{3}, VPN1{4},VPN2{5}
{1} Preset text = FWL1.txt
{2} Preset text = FWL2.txt
{3} Preset text = FWL4.txt
{4} Preset text = VPN1.txt
{5} Preset text = VPN2.txt
I have delete the "" for example FWL1.txt instead of "FWL1.txt" and I've delete 
the double entries too. In fact I don't know why, ELOG has take the second Options 
Type instead of the one :)! Now It work fine :)

Thanks a lot Stefan ;)

We're using elog as our CMDB, but now management wants us to employ "web services" and I fear going to another tool (elog is fitting the admins like a glove, so we'd rather keep it)

Is it possible to configure elog to be able to run as a web-service ?  (basically getting xml-output according to a specific (SOAP) schema instead of html output)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_services

A 'Web service' (also Web Service) is defined by the W3C as "a software system designed to support interoperable Machine to Machine interaction over a network." Web services are frequently just Web APIs that can be accessed over a network, such as the Internet, and executed on a remote system hosting the requested services.

The W3C Web service definition encompasses many different systems, but in common usage the term refers to clients and servers that communicate using XML messages that follow the SOAP standard. Common in both the field and the terminology is the assumption that there is also a machine readable description of the operations supported by the server written in the Web Services Description Language (WSDL). The latter is not a requirement of a SOAP endpoint, but it is a prerequisite for automated client-side code generation in many Java and .NET SOAP frameworks (frameworks such as Spring and Apache CXF being notable exceptions). Some industry organizations, such as the WS-I, mandate both SOAP and WSDL in their definition of a Web service.
