Alan Stone wrote:

I am using the CMS ELog remotely as a monitoring tool.  Information is compartementalized into dozens of containers.  I can create a find query URL, say last day, which then reloads every X minutes in Firefox.  When new ELog entries are made, then appear in the refresh and catch my attention.  But, my interests are somewhere between a single logbook and all logbooks.  If I choose all CMS logbooks for example for one day, I usually end up with > 200 entries. 

In short, I would like the ability to:

1) Select from the list of available logbooks when doing a search

2) Have more canned choices from smaller time frames, such as 1 hour or at least one shift (8 hours).

I do not see how to do this in the current elogd.cfg syntax instructions.

Thanks, Alan

 First of all have you considered using the built in RSS feed? With an RSS reader new entries are shown in a local notification box similar to new email. Some people like it.

1) This is not directly possible, but there is a trick: Define a URL to each logbook and put it into the Bookmarks Toolbar of Firefox. If you have many logbooks, this will however clutter up your toolbar. Then I recommend to make a subfolder in the toolbar and put them into it. Now firefox has the neat feature that if you click with the right mouse button on the folder, it offers you "Open All in Tabs". If you select this, you get a tab for each logbook in fireforx, and you can browse through each logbook individually.

2) This function was there long time ago (since I needed it myself) but somehow vanished. I added it back in revision 2126. You can now craft an URL like

https://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/past-8

to show the last 8 hours.

Hi

Im currently experimenting with Elog to see if we can use it to track maintenance work. But Ive come up against a problem, When I export the data to a csv file,

the date has a comma inserted between the day of the week and the rest of the date. This means that all the fields are then shifted to the right after the date.

This looks like a bug to me, the test records included in the demo does not exhibit this problem, until a new record is added.

cheers Richard

  What about exporting record separated by a semicolong ";" ?

I fixed that in SVN revision #2040, the comma is simply replaced by a space in the date string.

Hi Stefan

Thanks for the quick reply.

We seem to be running 2012 - Which may explain the problem - I will see with our system administrator why we are not running 2040. By the way I also had this problem when running the windows version.

Cheers.. Richard

Hi Stefan

Our IT administrator has just downloaded and installed the latest source code from the site and installed it. We still now have version 2012?

Where do we get version 2041 ?

Cheers,  Richard

The bleeding edge version you get always from our SVN server, but you have to recompile it yourself. For your convenience, I just made you a version 2.7.2-3 containing the latest source code.
