Link To command..., posted by Tim Iskander on Mon Apr 18 17:57:38 2005

Is it possible to create a Link To command (ala Copy To, Move To) that
would allow you to reference an entry in another log book without copying it?
This would be handy as the info would be kept current in both log books.

[quote="Emiliano Gabrielli"]IMHO the solution may be in allowing html code only in the cfg, not in the value of the field..
i.e., elog has to first allow html in the cfg attribute and then replace every $attribute with their values... this values as to be translated in html
entities in order to solve the problem

Re: < img > in Display Attribute, posted by Emiliano Gabrielli on Mon Jul 18 10:09:06 2005

[quote="Stefan Ritt"] I added an escape character. If you write <b> or \[b], then it gets interpreted. If you write \<b> or \\[b] with the "\" in front
of the tag, it does not get interpreted, thus the '\' works like an escape character. I edited your old entry with the <img> in the subject, and as you
see it is now not interpreted.

[quote="Stefan Ritt"]One note I would like to make however: "Top groups" were invented for having completely separate logbook groups. Before the invention
of top groups, one had to run several instances of elogd for different departments for example, where one department should not see the other department's
logbooks. But having many departments means having to maintain many elogd daemons. This led to the invention of top groups, so one daemon can serve several

Re: Can't use the command-line client, posted by David Spindler on Tue Oct 4 19:40:27 2005

I have a similar problem. I am using Windows version, and whenever I use the elog client to send entry, it will not take with MOptions set. I usually have
2 attributes required (both MOptions), and I get the message that it is missing a required attribute. When I use ROptions, or Options, it works fine. Is
there a problem with MOptions, or am I perhaps using a badly formatted commandline?

Re: Can't use the command-line client, posted by David Spindler on Tue Oct 4 20:24:26 2005

I just noticed in the changelog that my apparent problem with MOptions may have been fixed. I will try a newer version and see if it works.

Re: Long lines in printout, posted by Stefan Ritt on Tue Sep 13 13:33:59 2005

Your problem is related with the fact that I changed the formatting from fixed font to proportional font ("ELCode"). This gives you three options:

Re: Long lines in printout, posted by Bertram Metz on Thu Oct 13 10:56:29 2005

Hi Stefan,
I tried your suggestions with 'page shrinking' and 'message width', but they didn't help. What I do not understand is why this problem occurs only if the
message text is formatted as plain text. The lines are printed correctly, if the text is formatted as EL code or as HTML.

Re: Long lines in printout, posted by Stefan Ritt on Thu Oct 13 11:19:09 2005

Re: Long lines in printout, posted by Bertram Metz on Thu Oct 13 13:27:02 2005

The lines are still cut, if printed on paper.
I played again with the 'message width' parameter, which actually the key parameter in my problem. I saw in the source, that the default value is now 112,
but it was 76 in the elog version we'd used previously (V2.5.2). If I set 'message width' to 76 again, it works fine for new entries!

Are you sure? After you change the CSS file, you have to reload the page. I just tried with the very long entry from this thread and got in the Firefox

Re: Long lines in printout, posted by Bertram Metz on Thu Oct 13 17:45:58 2005

You're right. I don't know what I've tested this afternoon ;)
Without the fixed font the text might get very small, if the line is too long.
I think we'll set 'message width' = 76.

I will happily implement such an email check if you supply me further information. Presume you enter an email address in the form user#domain.com (# instead

Display last page by default, posted by Yoshio Imai on Fri Oct 28 12:15:33 2005

Hi again!
I have one question concerning the logbook configuration. Normally, clicking on "List" takes me to the first page of the list view. Is it possible to configure
the logbook so that "List" takes me to the last page instead?

Ok, I implemented the last page display per default in revision 1538. If "reverse sort = 0" the last page is shown and if "reverse sort = 1" the first page
is shown by default. This way one always sees the page with the latest entries. I hope this accomodates everybody. If not, please complain and I could
make it a switch (yet another option ;( ).

Quicklink does not work for one field, posted by mark james on Mon Oct 24 12:00:51 2005

I am not so bold as to log this as a bug but one of my Quicklink fields just do not work. It is the "Spacecraft" field. When I select any 'Spacecraft' quicklink,
the no. of records stays exactly the same (i.e. no. in full recordset). If I select F1, then I see F1 highlight in yellow in the string "4F1". But strangely
the "F1" entries are not highlight. Very strange.

two declarations of the forkpty() function when compiled and linked under Linux.  Instead, I created a separate forkpty.c module and compiled it separately.
Then, if "solaris", link it in.  Otherwise, use library "util" which already has forkpty().

TIMEZONE modifier?, posted by Steve Jones on Mon Apr 10 05:34:40 2006

We host eLog for a number of global sites. Our logbooks use datetime attributes but the timezones are wrong attributes that are either preset (like when

to FORMAT or does one already exist?

"Supress Email Notification" checkbox, posted by Steve Jones on Mon Sep 18 18:36:07 2006

Is there a way to allow email notification but have the "Suppress Email Notification" checked by default? We had complaints about the enormous amount of
email so I turned off email notification for edits/replys, but there are times that I would like to allow email to be sent out -- this would imply allowing
email by unchecking the "Suppress" box.

The problem lies in the ELCode parsing. When you post an entry in ELCode form, the elogd server has to parse every word to see if it's any of the ELcode
tags. This is right now implemented in a kind of poor way, such that it takes very long for long entries. I will work to optimize that. In the meantime,

Summary view: View only most recent entry for all values of a given attribute?, posted by Dennis Seitz on Thu May 17 02:12:52 2007

We are using Elog to track status of hardware assemblies. One attribute we've created is the serial number of an assembly. Other attributes are items like
"location" and "status". We have set up these latter attributes with presets to make entry easy and keep entries consistent.

Re: Summary view: View only most recent entry for all values of a given attribute?, posted by Stefan Ritt on Thu May 17 14:02:39 2007

[quote="Dennis Seitz"]I would like to filter the summary view so it only shows me the most recent entry for every value in the serial number attribute.
This would be very useful for quickly viewing the present status and location of every assembly, for example.[/quote]

Ok, now I understand. Well, your request is very special for your case. Usually I implement things only if several independent people ask for it. What you
can try is to save your logbook in CSV format, import it into Excel or another spreadsheet program, and achieve the filtering there.

Is there a way to suppress the listing of all logbooks on the New User Registration page? We've got 100 logbooks (one for each server, cluster node, or

Too many logbooks during user registration, posted by Steve Jones on Mon Aug 6 17:43:52 2007

Stefan, we require registration with elog. We have quite a number of logbooks and when someone requests a login account AND elects to register with all
of the logbooks, the resulting URL is apparently too long for browsers to handle when the admins click on the link embedded in the email notification.
For example, FireFox (latest ver) appears to truncate the URL *after* submission (the correct URL is there before submission).

[quote="Steve Jones"]So the list is shown to the one requesting the registration? Would it be possible to have an option that, when selected, simply did
not list any logbooks? I can see a customer becoming confused if they did not see their logbook listed. Just turn off the selection completely. Otherwise,

Post appearing twice, posted by Dan Chitwood on Fri Sep 23 19:23:26 2005

We are having trouble on our logbook with posts appearing twice.  Both posts contain the same ID number, time, etc.  This most often occurs when the e-log
entry is being written for an extended period of time (ie. more than 30 minutes), but I don't know if that is the root cause of the problem.  It may also
be related to posts that are edited after an initial posting.  Could this be due to an improper setting in our config file?

Quick Filter including Subtext applied overzealously?, posted by Richard Stamper on Mon Nov 12 15:58:57 2007

When there are two or more Quick Filters available, and one of them is on the Subtext attribute, once one of the other filters has its value changed
the null text for the Subtext selection criterion (namely, "-- Text --") is used as a genuine selection criterion, thus typically preventing
any entries from matching.

Configuration of HTML editor, posted by Kristj�n J�nsson on Thu Jan 10 18:30:26 2008

Do I have to do any extra configuration in elog to enable the FCKeditor.
What I get with V2.7.0-1954 is that the main message entry field looks and behaves identically whether I set the encoding to HTML or plain (except
the width and height of the field changes).

Audit Trail?, posted by Javier A. Ortiz on Fri Jan 18 13:57:31 2008

First thanks for the great software! My only question would be how to implement audit trail feature. I know you can control who edits and that's great
but in regulated environments like mine there's a requirement that the original record, the one edited, is not deleted or overwritten. If not possible
right now the only thing I could think of is a mechanism, maybe possible thru configuration, that when the record is edited it is copied to an audit trail

Manual installing elog as service on Windows, posted by Arno Teunisse on Sat Apr 12 16:37:44 2008

Hello
Sometimes it can come in handy to start a temporary elog service on the Windows platform. ( Maybe for testing purposes )
You can use the SC.exe utility to do that. If it is not on you're system you may download it from : ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/reskit/win2000/sc.zip

How can I fix thsi error? Or, perhaps more importantly, could it cause elog to "lock up" (note, it doesn't crash)?

(How) can I hide columns in List view?, posted by T. Ribbrock on Mon Oct 20 15:32:19 2008

Originally, all information about our machines was stored in a spreadsheet with one sheet for the hardware of the machines and one for the software.
By now, I've sucessfully moved the software part to an elog logbook and am now looking at transferring the hardware part as well.
As both lists are machine-name based, one of the options would be to merge both lists, as this would place all machine-related info into one logbook.

It would be very cool to be able to select Full from the view menu and then scroll rapidly through all entries looking for that high res photo of a SQUID
chip I took two months ago. Presently the photos are all full size so the Full view is slow to load and it takes a lot of scrolling to navigate.
Can you implement thumbnails in Full view, and also in the single entry view? Clicking on the thumbnail should, of course, open the full size image.

Actually I found a way around. The "Subst xxx" is evaluated after you submit an entry, so it also works for the elog tool. So
all you need in your config file is:

Subst Author = $long_name
and it will do the job.

How to attach screen shot in elog, posted by weiluo on Tue Dec 2 01:10:39 2008

I want to know if there were some way to insert a screen shot directly into the log book instead of going through the "save-attach" procedure.
i.e. add some plug in button to do this under Linux?
Or, can I just make a plain log file "xxxx.log" and put it into the directory? Will that work?

I finally found some time to address this problem. It is indeed related to the fact that the new number gets assigned when you click on 'New'.
So if two people edit the new entries at the same time, they get assigned the same number. To fix this problem, I made the tag generation work with the
'Subst' command, which is evaluated at the entry submission, and not when you click on 'New'. So to make this work, you need to upgrade

[quote="Peter Kovac"]First, the problem.  Fairly regularly (at least once a week, perhaps more), our elog daemon seems to quietly die.  The process is still
running but anyone attempting to access the server gets "connection refused."  The elog log doesn't show anything and the apache logs just show "proxy:

Escape emoticons in ELCODE, posted by Gernot Buselmeier on Fri Mar 20 14:33:53 2009

Hi,
I want to write a text like "John:Doe" in ELCODE. However the ":D" is converted to a LOL emoticon. I tried various ways to
escape this. One solution I found was entering "John\:Doe". However, the upper-case D is converted to lower-case: the result reads "John:doe".

I just found out that email notifications only worked for the first 50 users of this forum. So if you registered only recently, you might not have

When ROptions items contain the same substring and this substring is also an ROptions item (ex: notdone,

It depends on the item order in the config file.

Hi,

Did a fresh install on a Windows 2003 server (and tried it on my personal computer)

After startup I can click on Norway/nor, and then the server
just stops responding. I see in the log nothing, the last line: Received unknown cooke "style"
Then it stops responding and after a few seconds I see
the dos window returns to commandline prompt.

Probably a very bad config file.

On Windows XP it informs we of Dr Watson, memory could not be read

We are running elog across two sites and synchronizing every four hours on change only. There are about 100 entries per day of which most are just one
line entries. However this is taking up to 9 mins and during the replication process the server gives us an "unavailable" error. We are using
a T1 across the sites so bandwidth should not be an issue, I am confused as to why this takes so long.

Fix text prevents user from editing text during creation, instead of just edit, posted by Allen on Mon Aug 24 21:47:14 2009

Hi Stefan,

I must have seen this before, but only just "noticed" it.

Re: Paper clip showing attachment not always present, posted by David Pilgram on Fri Nov 13 10:57:03 2009

I may have made this sound as if the issue occurs if the first entry in a thread has an attachment; in fact it
happens whether or not there is an attachment to the first entry.

Problems zooming elog pages in Internet Explorer - a possible fix, posted by Richard Stamper on Wed Nov 4 00:58:00 2009

Internet Explorer fails to display correctly some aspects of pages generated by elog when the zoom functionality is used (Ctrl + and Ctrl -). This
is really a bug in the IE renderer rather than elog, but since IE can be persuaded to do better relatively easily it might be worth making some minor changes
to make elog more robust when used with the buggy Microsoft browser.

email message id, posted by george papalexis on Tue Jan 12 20:03:39 2010

We noticed some elog email messages were not showing up in our inboxes at random.  What we believe is happening is when a elog entry is created
it is assigned a message id that the mail servers will use.  If a message is edited that same message id is used and some mail servers involved will
ignore the duplicate message id.  We have also noticed when a elog entry is deleted the next entry created will assume the deleted entry message id

Re: insert screenshots directly to elog?, posted by Yoshio Imai on Fri Feb 5 14:51:23 2010

Since elog is only the web server providing (comfortable) access to the logbook database, it relies on the web browser (possibly enhanced by script code)
for facilities to attach pictures and other files to entries. So unless your browser has such an extension or someone writes some sort of script that can
do it, the only way is to use an external capturing program, save the picture and upload it in the usual way. Cf. also entry

Active Directory authentication, posted by Alan Grant on Mon Mar 29 06:05:08 2010

Found a thread from 2004 ("External authentication") asking about the possibility of tying that in with ELog and answer was "Not yet".
With time past, any chance this is now possible? I didn't see any more info on that since.
I'd like to explore using AD to set up/manage groups for ELog authentication. Alternatively, is there currently another way with ELog to manage groups?

Can other pages hide behind elog user authentication?, posted by Jason St. John on Sat Apr 17 01:06:58 2010

The elog security suits me just fine: the content is not available unless users have logged in, and as administrator I have complete control over

Hi, I rsync an elog database from CERN to TRIUMF every few months and I notice that rsync keeps copying preview files (xxx.png.png, xxx.gif.png, etc)

This creates extra rsync network traffic and rsync takes longer to complete. Is there any way to avoid this? K.O.

Will elog defer user identification and authorization to the ssl engine of a *local* Apache proxy? I'd like to try elog in a site that requires
the service port positively authenticate and identify users via smartcard certificate ID. Per SOP they have Apache+mod_ssl setting SSLUserName=SSL_CLIENT_S_DN_CN
which sets both the SSL request object's "user" field and the REMOTE_USER environment var relative to the mod_ssl's session's process group leader.

For the text I can overcome that with HTML encoding, but for attribute values the encoding does not show properly.

After attaching/uploading files to an entry and before submitting it, one might press 'Back' or close the browser window.
This in effect cancels the entry and sends into oblivion. HOWEVER the attachments and their thumbnail files remain on the server forever.

With the recent Elog 2.9.0 rev 2412 the Self Register = 3 option doesn't work as expected: The user is immediately allowed to login. This is not what
this option was doing, which is to wait for an approval by the administrator. Can this behaviour be restored, or should I change the value of the Self

configurable and because it runs in a browser.

Yes, there is a new feature called record splitting which causes the browser to send the "G" of the "GET ..." in a dedicated TCP
package. This started in FF10, Chrome 17, and it will come in others as well. It only affects direct SSL connections (SSL=1). I fixed the bug in SVN revision
#2435. Please update also MXML to revision #73. Let's hope that surprises like that will not happen too often.

using the elog client to submit such entries; this might avoid performance issues related to communication of the server with the web browser

The synchronize feature is totally worthless to me.
First of all the automatic backup doesn't work - and nobody seems to know why - and pressing the synchronize button by hand from time to time also
doesn't work if the entry is too big:

Is there a limit on the number of conditions that can be simultaneously active in a log?  When I activate more than 10 conditions I start to see
side effects with other conditions being deactivated.  I think this is due to the hard-coded array size of 10 for clist in the match_param function

the problem occurs when I have the Evernote web clipper extension enabled. If I disable it, I am able to make entries on any server, otherwise the cursor

I have an attribute formatted as a date (but not labeled as date) and is sorted as second priority. The sort works fine until I enter a date older than

POODLE vulnerability, posted by Stefan Ritt on Fri Oct 24 12:51:00 2014

IMPORTANT SECURITY ANNOUNCEMENT
Recently the POODLE vulnerability has been announced: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POODLE
ELOG is prone to this vulnerability if it runs directly the SSL protocol and can be accessed from the internet. If ELOG runs behind an Apache proxy,
and the Apache server has been correctly configured (disabled the SSLv23 protocols), ELOG is safe as well.

Re: using a predefined format with predefined informations that an user should fill at each run of data , posted by Stefan Ritt on Mon Jan 12 11:24:00 2015

In ELOG you can define "attributes", so take one attribute for each informaiton you need. The flag these attributes as required via "Required
attributes = ...". If you only want this attributes for certain occations (like data taking in your case), you can either do a separato logbook for
data taking, or use "conditional attributes" to make these attributes only show up for data taking.

If you enter ELOG text body entreis as HTML, they will be exported as HTML, and thus you have the <p> tags. To avoid them, enter the ELOG text
body as plain text, or just remove them in your spreadsheet via find and replace (find "<p>" and replace by nothing). Ther is NO HTML to
text converter in ELOG, so they cannot be stipped automatically. And maybe other people DO want the full HTML there.

If you add the picture in the HTML editor, then you can add any link you like.

I don't see why the specific link to the full resolution
picture should be the default.

If you want to have it, why not just add it by hand?

I took the liberty to edit your Linux Demo

My perspective is from my lab's specific use case, in which we often post plots of data in the body of the text, and it is useful for the
ELOG-generated thumbnails to link to the full resolution plot. In previous versions, I believe this was the behavior. It would be convenient for my users

As an administrator of the logbook you could add an additional attribute, e.g. "when" of type datetime.

Each entry would then have the unchangeable entry time and an addtional time, e.g. of the event you are describing in the entry.

Elog stability with multiple users, posted by Alan Grant on Wed Feb 18 04:57:32 2015

Are there any known or reported daemon stability issues with an increase of concurrent users logged in to view and search entries, while the elog client
is also adding 5 to 10 new entries every minute during a peak 2-hour period each day?

Re: Elog stability with multiple users, posted by Stefan Ritt on Thu Feb 26 10:39:58 2015

By desing, there is no collision between different users, since all requests are executed in sequence (single thread). The only problem is that the server
becomes unavailable for others if it executes a long search. This is why most users of large lobooks restrict their search to let's say the last month
or so by default. This speeds up the search and limits the dead time for others. This can be done via the show

Re: Elog stability with multiple users, posted by Alan Grant on Fri Feb 27 23:06:53 2015

We have reduced entries for Search reasons by removing older text files and that seems to speed up things.
However, a recurring problem persists during peak period where the service connection is lost (site says "Not
found" on both client and directly on server), and it cannot be restarted or killed. Only a reboot of the 2010

Re: Elog stability with multiple users, posted by David Pilgram on Sat Feb 28 14:08:43 2015

Re: Elog stability with multiple users, posted by Stefan Ritt on Mon Mar 2 08:06:38 2015

Being not able to kill a server running in an endless loop seems strange to me. If you put any program artificially into an endless loop, you can kill it
via "kill -9 <pid>". Have you tried that? The only exception I
can imagine is if there is a problem in the file system, like your elog logbooks are mounted via NFS or some other remote filesystem, and you have a problem

How to change configuration already set properly, posted by Banata Wachid Ridwan on Wed Mar 18 04:25:14 2015

Hello, I have configuration file that already set on running logbook

If I just simply change category, or other option, when I log in on logbook, It wont show as I though. When I change back to original setting,

Re: How to change configuration already set properly, posted by Andreas Luedeke on Wed Mar 18 09:34:46 2015

ELOG does not provide you with a simple mechanism to rename attributes in existing entries.

If you rename an attribute in the configuration,
then you need to adapt all existing entries by replacing the name in all *a.log files on the server.

Or you could set-up a second logbook
with the renamed attributes, export all entries from the first logbook (use "Find") and import these entries in the second logbook.

Re: How to change configuration already set properly, posted by Banata Wachid Ridwan on Fri Mar 20 08:11:15 2015

ok.

what *a.log ? is it all database from elog? so I need to open it with text editor and replace all . am I Correct?

Re: How to change configuration already set properly, posted by Andreas Luedeke on Fri Mar 20 09:23:57 2015

ELOG is storing all entries as text files. Open text files and use search and replace in text editor. Or instead: export with Find and import in another
ELOG with renamed attributes.

Configure default time range in 'Find', posted by Eoin Butler on Fri Jan 16 13:41:18 2015

Hello,

We have a very large elog database, and executing a 'Find' on the whole range takes several minutes, locking other users out of the elog
for that time. It would be very nice if there could be an option to set the default value of the 'search last ...' option on the find page. Thanks

Re: Configure default time range in 'Find', posted by Stefan Ritt on Fri Jan 16 14:29:58 2015

Have you tried in the "Find" page to set a start date, or select "Show last: Month". This shoudl speed up searching quit a bit.

Re: Configure default time range in 'Find', posted by Eoin Butler on Mon Jan 19 11:09:31 2015

Yes, this works, but users inevitably forget to select "last week" or whatever, and just leave it blank, which means their search unintentionally
takes a long time. It would be much better if one could configure it to default to something "fast".

Re: Configure default time range in 'Find', posted by David Pilgram on Mon Jan 19 17:17:32 2015

Hi there, In the "Find" page, I changed the default of the "Show last" drop down box in the Entry Date section from the (unstated)
"All time" to "Day", and added back in an "All Time" option at the very bottom. This gives a default of searching the
last day, and one has to think and select the period of time to search back on.

Re: Configure default time range in 'Find', posted by David Pilgram on Tue Jan 20 00:58:58 2015

It has just occurred to me that you may also have to check the non-English files, (./resorces/eloglang_xxxx) as this change introduces a new term "All
time" that would need translation into the other lexicons.

Re: Configure default time range in 'Find', posted by Stefan Ritt on Thu Jan 22 16:30:07 2015

I added a new optoin "Show last default = <days>", where one can pre-set the "Show last" drop-down box. I think this is a good
idea, so now people can configure their elog to a certain default in this parameter. Of course all settings in the Find page are AND'ed together, so
if one restricts the search to tha last week, but then looks for a date more in the past, the result will be zero by definition. The change is in the GIT

Hi Stefan,

There's one pre-set value you forgot to include in this, which is the genuinely required "Show last all time". I archive
many logbooks by years, and so for the year 2005 (say), searching by anything other than all time will always bring up zero results. And it gets

Re: Configure default time range in 'Find', posted by David Pilgram on Sun Mar 15 17:53:44 2015

Law of unintended consequences came into play. If you use 0, then on the results page it says "Restricted search to last 0 Days".
So that also needs tweeking, and that's really put my c coding (or lack of it) to the test. But I've changed that phrase to "Unrestricted
search" followed by blank for when the parameter "last" is 0.

Re: Configure default time range in 'Find', posted by Andreas Luedeke on Mon Mar 16 07:16:56 2015

isn't the empty string "" doing already exactly what you want to achieve with "Show last all time"?

Yes, the empty string does exactly that, in the drop down menu, but before my changes, I could not set it to be the default setting in the configuration

Hi David,

I was confused because one normally does not need to include a line in the configuration to set a default value. A default
is exactly what you get if you don't specify anything in the configuration

But I think I've figured it out: you were overriding the default in the global section for all logbooks and

Re: csv import timestamp, posted by Andreas Luedeke on Thu May 14 22:16:03 2015

Hi Ferdinand,

"import" is meant to be used for files that have been exported with "find". Therefore it is not very
flexible with the date format.

Todays date should look like that: "Thu 14 May 2015 22:12:00 +0200".

You have
to convert your file that the date matches this format (BTW: I found this out by using the find - export feature; it may depend on a local configuration.)

If the first option "Custom" is chosen, then you get an additional field "Custom Message".

Dear Neal,

I don't understand your example. There is no such thing as a "subject field". You can define an attribute called
"subject", like in this logbook.

But I would guess that you want to have five attributes "Time Off", "Reason",
etc. that cannot be altered after an entry has been created? That's easy.

Re: Fixed text, posted by Andreas Luedeke on Wed May 27 08:41:05 2015

Hi Neal,

you can preload words into one attribute field, but one field is either editable or not, you cannot protect single words in
a field.

But the ELOG way to solve this would be to have multiple attributes: you would get one entry field for each attribute.

Just
look at this logbook: it has the attributes Icon, Author, Author Email, Category, OS, ELOG Version and Subject.

Re: Different timezone settings for each elog, posted by Stefan Ritt on Wed Jun 10 18:13:50 2015

The elog server grabs the local timezone from the underlying OS. Under Linux, you can change the timezone using the TZ environment variable. See here: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-linux-set-time-zone-per-user-basis/

If you need different time zones on the same server, you have to create two accounts and run two instances of elogd on these accounts.

Dear David,

what I meant with a "fresh and clean installation" is, that you do not install elog on the production system over
the existing elog, but instead on another Linux box.

One possible problem could be that you have a modified CSS (or some other file), which
is not overwritten by the ELOG installation. That file could break the D & D functionality.

My advise would be, to do an ELOG test installation

You have "Remove on reply" together with "Preset on reply Author". Since the first is executed later, you first preset the author
name, then remove it again. Just discard the "Remove on reply" and you are fine.

Upload of images fails from mobile platforms when using ELOG under SSL, posted by Hanno Perrey on Wed Jun 10 11:36:48 2015

CKEditor won't load under IE Compatibility Mode, posted by Ben Shepherd on Wed Jun 24 15:18:30 2015

I just upgraded to 3.1.0 after many years using 2.9.2. Our eLogs are absolutely crucial for the operation of our

The issue I'm having is a minor one. Some of our users are using Internet Explorer 11, which has a Compatibility Mode option that is enabled

Re: CKEditor won't load under IE Compatibility Mode, posted by Stefan Ritt on Thu Jun 25 12:52:06 2015

I don't get your point. If you add the meta tag wiht the viewport, then the IE7 mode will load the CKEditor? The CKEditor home page says that IE7
is not supported any more, so I wonder if this simple tag might help. Can you turn off the compatibility mode on a per-URL basis?

If I try on my smatphone, the display is correct, so why you need the viewport tag? Can you shouw me examples?

Re: CKEditor won't load under IE Compatibility Mode, posted by Ben Shepherd on Thu Jun 25 15:16:51 2015

The viewport thing and the IE7 mode thing are separate issues.

OK, maybe it's a CKEditor thing then. I thought it might be. It seems pretty stupid that the default setting in IE is to emulate an older
browser - although I guess a lot of people have very outdated intranet sites. Anyway, we have a fix here so I don't think you need to do anything.

I have had to play around with viewports for other reasons than elog, but I do have a couple of comments to make.  Obviously the meta tag viewpoint
has to be added in.  Also, elog was written for large screens (no-one thought anything else was possible when elog was started), and it is relatively
recent that mobile devices have become a significant percentage of views of web pages.  Google is downgrading websites that are not mobile-friendly

the CKEditor, then you see it. In my mail program (both Apple Mail and Thunderbird) this HTML enocding is correctly shown as the original apostroph, so

elog client overwriting attached files when editing existing log, posted by Joseph McKenna on Wed Sep 16 01:27:20 2015

I have tested using the elog client version 3.1.1 and elog client version 2.9.2 sending to elogd 2.9.0

Creating ELog Links not working properly in HTML Editor, posted by Edmund Hertle on Mon Sep 7 12:44:42 2015

Hey,

the syntax for creating links to other elog entries has a small issue in the HTML editor. The link will not be created properly if there are

I can confirm this bug.

But I don't think this has to work as you've described it, when using the HTML editor: if you use HTML, you can use the link feature
of the editor.

But that link feature does currently not work at all with internal elog references, not even a simple elog:1">

elog client overwriting attached files when editing existing log, posted by Joseph McKenna on Wed Sep 16 02:47:33 2015

Re: elog client overwriting attached files when editing existing log, posted by Edmund Hertle on Mon Sep 21 10:48:31 2015

Hey,

I think this is a "problem" of the elog client, since it simply replaces the data. In most cases this is what you want, but since I
wanted to have the option to append to the acutal message I built a function to first read-back the entry and add to the message instead of replacing it.

Re: elog client overwriting attached files when editing existing log, posted by Andreas Luedeke on Mon Sep 28 06:45:03 2015

The "elog" command has no "append" feature. You can either create a new entry, or you can overwrite an old entry. Therefore this
is not a bug but the intended bahaviour.

I admit that the documentation is misleading, since overwriting an existing entry is called "editing":

Re: elog client overwriting attached files when editing existing log, posted by Stefan Ritt on Mon Sep 28 11:58:11 2015

You are right. "Edit" should be more like "Replace". I changed that in the documentation.

I acknowledge the request to replace or append only a specific attribute or attachment, and put it on my to-do list.

if you really want to do it, you can find a way to make it work. But it is not straight forward and not what ELOG is made for.

ELOG allows you to have different commands for different users. You could allow "New"
and "Edit" for normal users, but "Reply" only for administrators.
You can use "Subst on reply <attribute>

Re: Syntax for conditional list display, posted by Andreas Luedeke on Thu Oct 1 12:01:11 2015

Oups: there is a flaw in this approach! You can only get different commands for Anonymous and Login Users. You cannot select different command for Admin
users: they will just have the "Config" command automatically.

You could allow anonymous users to make new entries and restrict login to administrators. But that is certainly not what you want, so forget

That seems a CKEditor problem. Can you see if it works on their site (ckeditor.com). The current version is 4.5.4. Maybe they fixed it. You can upgrade
CKEditor yourself in elog by just copying the new verson over the old /elog/scripts/ckeditor directory.

log entries after a certain date not displayed - 3.1.1, posted by Mike Giles on Fri Nov 20 10:28:41 2015

Hi,

I'm having an issue with Elog 3.1.1 on windows 10 not displaying all log entries (after a certain date) in a logbook directory.

The logbook is saved in a Dropbox folder and the entries were created on a windows 8.1 PC with 3.1.1 also.

Re: log entries after a certain date not displayed - 3.1.1, posted by Andreas Luedeke on Fri Nov 20 11:06:24 2015

Hi Mike,

I don't think that it is a good idea to have two elogd servers accessing the same files: that's what you are doing with
the Dropbox folder, isn't it? ELOG is not made to be used like that.

If you want to share the same entries in different logbooks, then
you should use the "mirror server" functionality in ELOG. Have a look at: https://midas.psi.ch/elog/config.html#mirroring

Cheers,

Besides the commen Andrea made I would like to add that you can convince elog to show all files if you simply restart it, then it will re-scan all files.
But as Andreas said, if two elogd instances write to the same directory, you will get a mess with double IDs of entries.

Stefan

Re: log entries after a certain date not displayed - 3.1.1, posted by Mike Giles on Tue Nov 24 09:18:40 2015

Thanks very much for your comments. I will take a look at the mirror server functionality.

I have only been running one elogd at a time, restarting elogd (on Windows 10) doesn't seem to pick up the changes made on Windows 8.1 PC
(stopped elogd after changes made and log file updated)

Re: log entries after a certain date not displayed - 3.1.1, posted by Stefan Ritt on Tue Nov 24 12:35:22 2015

Ah, I see another problem. The pre 3.1 version had all logbook files in one directory, and the 3.1 puts the files in one subdirectoy per year. On transition
from 3.0 to 3.1, an automatic conversion is made, but only once. If you later add files into the root logbook directory, they will not be seen. So you
have to move them manually into the right subdirectory.

a box comes up "You have unfished drafts, do you want to edit them?". This is the new draft feature introduced recently and a feature of elog.

I recommend monitoring directly on the server. Here is an example of a very simply Python script (https://github.com/tamasgal/elog-slack)
which monitors the files very efficiently and immediately pushes notifications to Slack (slack.com). Just look at the code,
it's pretty straight forward and very easy to adapt it to other (web) services.

if you just install ELOG out of the box it will always run without an Apache Web Server. You don't need to add anything in the config file for that.

You'll need a web service provider that will

And then it'll either require some skills in host administration or a full host service by the provider.

Since the elogd process belongs to the user "nobody", the directory should best belong to "nobody" as well (or - not recommended

Re: Attribute Field Size Limited to 255 Characters, posted by Andreas Luedeke on Thu Mar 3 14:51:55 2016

No. At least there is no simple method.

You would need to edit the source code and recompile elogd. But the number 256 is used for about 300 times in the source code, you'll have
a hard time finding the right one to increase.

Re: upgrade problem, posted by Andreas Luedeke on Wed Mar 16 08:39:55 2016

Hi Tim,

starting with ELOG version 3 all entries are moved into sub-directories for each year.

If you move the files back
from the sub-directories and restart elogd, then the entries should appear again in the logbook with ELOG 2.9.2.

I don't
know how to solve your other problem. Maybe you should talk to someone locally who can administer your windows server?

Unfortunately a read confirmation is not foreseen in the Elog system. You would have to define one attribute for each shift worker, like "John has
read", "Steve has read" and so on. Then each of the shift workes has to "Edit" each message an check his/her checkmark manually.

Re: How to delete a logbook?, posted by Stefan Ritt on Fri Apr 29 11:45:51 2016

Deleting a logbook in the config page (via "Delete this logbook") only removes the logbook defiition from the config file. To really erase
all information you have to go to the file system and delete the whole directory belonging to that logbook. You have one subdirectory per year, containing
all logobok entries and also attachments, so make sure you do a recursiver directory removal.

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.

support "authentication = webserver, kerberos", posted by Devin Bougie on Wed May 18 16:19:07 2016

The elog client binary does not work with webserver authentication. One fix would be to support both webserver and kerberos authentication (authentication
= webserver, kerberos), similar to how you currently support
"authentication = kerberos, file".

But we have set up a supervision process that checks every minute if the "elogd" process is still running. If not, it simply restarts

Several strings in ELOG are limited to 256 chars. It is likely the limit for URLs, too.

The magic number "256" appears 285

It is probaly easier if you compress long URLs with goo.gl

Re: Different logbook files when running elogd as admin or normal user, posted by Stefan Ritt on Thu Jul 21 08:08:07 2016

I don't know why elogd uses different logbook directories depending on the user. Maybe you start it in different directories, or one user cannot
read the config file and falls back to some default. Anyhow, you can start elogd interactively wit the -v flag which tells you which logbook files are
parsed. There are no cache files or similar, everything is stored in Yymmdda.log files, you just have to search for them.

Re: Different logbook files when running elogd as admin or normal user, posted by Antonio Bulgheroni on Thu Jul 21 09:37:47 2016

So I found the my log files, but this issue should probably be documented.

When running as admin my logbook files are where they should (C:\Program Files (x86)\ELOG\logbooks)

When running as local user (with no admin rights), elogd has no writing access to the logbooks directory. So it falls back to use C:\Users\[MyUserName]\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program

Sample of actual elog Config with URL in SSL, posted by Dawang on Mon Dec 14 04:42:04 2015

HI Guys,

Can you please give me an idea how will I write in the config. I want my elog will be accessed via internet. Though there's a tutorial /
guideline, I need an actual config file for me to easily grasp how the URL = xxx should be write. Do my port should be Port = 433 and SSL=1?

Re: Sample of actual elog Config with URL in SSL, posted by Andreas Luedeke on Wed Dec 16 09:56:09 2015

You normally don't need to specify "URL = xxx" at all. It is only needed if you work with a Proxy that changes the normal ELOG URL. And
yes, you'll need "Port = 433" and "SSL =1".

And elogd must be compiled with USE_SSL=1, maybe that's your problem?

Very easy: uncomment the line USE_SSL=1 in the Makefile and then compile.

You'll need of course a gcc compiler on your Windows system, a makefile environment, SSL libraries, etc.. If you don't have that: ask

Re: Sample of actual elog Config with URL in SSL, posted by Andreas Luedeke on Tue Aug 9 14:01:04 2016

You need to download the source file package of ELOG and compile it. If you don't know what a Makefile is, then it is likely futile for you to attempt
to compile ELOG.

Or in other words: you cannot use SSL.

Re: Sample of actual elog Config with URL in SSL, posted by Andreas Luedeke on Tue Aug 9 14:08:20 2016

You've already named your solution: drop the very old ELOG version and download the new one. Obviously it was compiled with USE_SSL and you can use
it right away.

Since you probably don't even have the source files of the old version, you'll have no chance to make it work with that. Just use ELOG

Agreed, I just wanted to clarify for anyone else though that the issue seems to be centered on my "Start Time" attribute which is a datetime field. All
the other attributes (with spaces) allowed submission of the entry so long as the "Start Time" attribute wasn't set to required. That appears to be the
one with the actual issue. Giving a valid epoch time when that field isn't required allows the field to be populated correctly. However, if the "Start

Re: elog client cmd line submission of attributes with spaces., posted by Andreas Luedeke on Sat Aug 20 12:17:10 2016

If the "Start Time" attribute is of the type "datetime", then you cannot assign a date string to it.
Instead you'll have to assign the seconds of the epoch.
Try assigning a "0", that should be the 1st of January 1970.

returns the same error: Error: Missing required attribute "Start Time"

Okay, I can confirm this bug: with Windows 10 using Firefox 47.0 the dialog hangs as soon as I press "Send it to the server". When it returns,
it did not upload anything. That is why it asks for URL after pressing OK.

Quick fix: just attach the image and use the URL of the attachment.

Re: Image source url missing, posted by Andreas Luedeke on Tue Aug 23 09:05:21 2016

If you go on the attached image with the right mouse button, then you'll get a menu. In this menu there should be some entry like "copy image
link" (my PC is unfortunately configured in German, I can't look it up).

This copies the URL in the clipboard and you can just paste it in the URL entry of the image button.

work in this Forum.

Re: Image source url missing, posted by Antonio Bulgheroni on Thu Sep 1 08:47:55 2016

This is another piece of information to help in the debugging. To my standards logbooks, I have added the "demo". On the demo I can upload
pictures while I can't on the other logbooks.

This is indicating that the bug has something to do with the logbook configuration other than with the editor or the image upload plugin.

Re: Image source url missing, posted by Antonio Bulgheroni on Thu Sep 1 09:03:51 2016

The conflicting option is "Preview attachments". When this is turned off (set to 0), images are not properly uploaded. Could you please confirm

If you are using IE as your browser, the problem may be with that rather than the server. By default IE 11 display intranet sites in a "Compatibility

Cancel button missing when editing an entry, posted by Andreas Luedeke on Wed Nov 16 13:48:33 2016

If I edit an old entry, and do some mistake while editing, then there is currently no way to savely discard the changes.

The problem is that the entry will become a draft: if I close the window without saving, then the whole entry is gone: it will be converted into
a draft entry. But the draft does contain my changes, it is not the originally saved entry!

Re: Cancel button missing when editing an entry, posted by Stefan Ritt on Wed Nov 16 14:01:18 2016

The problem is that the elog database does not allow for a copy of an entry before you make modifications (and therefore get a "draft"). This
is actually very simila to other note taking programs. I use Evernote, which constantly synchronizes between devices, and there I also cannot go back to
the version before I started making modification. What one would need is a version system (and Evernote has one), so you can go back to the previous verison,

Andreas,

Doesn't using the Save Drafts = 0 option result in the old 'Back' button returning (replacing the Delete option) meaning
you can revert back to your old (unmodified) version without saving, sure it doesn't save a draft but I'd rather be able to return back and lose

Re: Cancel button missing when editing an entry, posted by Andreas Luedeke on Thu Nov 17 09:14:15 2016

Yes, "Save Drafts = 0" does the trick. But it is the "zero-option": trivial, but not satisfying ;-)

Warning: the "back" button of the browser has a very undesired effect: the entry

Re: Cancel button missing when editing an entry, posted by Stefan Ritt on Mon Nov 21 15:07:05 2016

Well, the "undesired effect" you describe is exactly the reason for having drafts. Somebody works on a lengthy message, then the browser dies,
or the user by accident hits the "back" button and (by accidnt, ehem...) confirms the dialog popping up which says "changes will be lost".
In that case the draft mechanism should take care of that the lengthy message is not lost. That's where it is for. If one does not like it, one can

Re: Cancel button missing when editing an entry, posted by Christine Quicot on Wed Nov 23 09:25:15 2016

Hello,

In my opinion, there should be a "close/return" button (discard changes), even with the drafts enabled, but effectively there will
have to be several saves made (at least before/after).

Re: Cancel button missing when editing an entry, posted by Andreas Luedeke on Thu Nov 24 07:38:52 2016

Hi Stefan,

actually what you refer to as the "quick and dirty" solution is probably the only feasible one: to store a copy
of the entry in the browser and restore that copy with a "cancel" button.

Otherwise you would need a full-fledged revision management,
to deal with multiple copies of the same entry open in several browsers.

Yet, that does not solve the "problem"

Dear all,

there seems to be still lots of confusion with the new "draft modus" introduced in elog 3.1.2. Here is how it works:

If you edit an old or new entry, your changes are written to the elog server every few seconds. The entry in the elog database is marked as "draft".

In the HTML editor, you can select the code text, then select from the "Styles" drop-down the style "Computer Code", and on the "Normal"

There is a limit of 100 options per line, so you probably run against that. This is defined in elogd.h with MAX_N_LIST and MAX_N_ATTR. You can try to
increase these and recompile, but at some point you will hit the stack size limit of your operating system and elogd will crash.

if you want to change all datetime properties to UTC time, then you'll just need to set the timezone on the server to UTC, before elogd is

"No SMTP host defined in [global] section of configuration file", posted by Luca on Wed Jan 18 05:25:44 2017

Hi,

I started re-using after a month an elog on my linux machine and, without any apparent reason since I did not used the machine at all in the
last month, every time I try to submit a post I get the following error

Re: "No SMTP host defined in [global] section of configuration file", posted by Stefan Ritt on Wed Jan 18 10:25:20 2017

These problems usually come when you are using a different configuration file that the one you think you are using. Note that you explicitly can tell
elogd to use a specific configuation file with the "-c" flag. Also make sure to restart elogd after major changes.

elogd crashes during SSL Mirror operations involving attachments, posted by Andreas Warburton on Mon Jan 9 17:15:56 2017

My MacOS (10.12.2) elogd version V3.1.2 is a recent git commit (edc5e85), due to the fix to my earlier-described issue solved in the thread here: https://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/68519.

I am trying to (re-)set up Mirror functionality with a linux server running the standard public (V3.1.2-bd75964). I had initially updated
the linux server so that it also had the latest git commit (edc5e85), but could then not even add new logbook entries that involved attachments to it.

The attached screenshot shows the behaviour after doing a synchronization (with Mirror simulate = 1) following first having ensured that the local (Mac)
and remote (linux) ELOGs initially showed "All entries identical" when doing a simulated synchronization, and then having edited local entries
9707 and 9709 by uploading (different) attachments to them.

Re: elogd crashes during SSL Mirror operations involving attachments, posted by Andreas Warburton on Fri Jan 13 21:05:49 2017

When I switch from SSL = 1 to SSL = 0 and I use http:// instead of https://, the ability to upload attachments to logbook entries returns.  With
both Chrome and Safari browsers, with SSL = 1 the file upload hangs after only a small percentage of the file has been uploaded.  I ran the following
openssl diagnostic on my elogd port.  Would anyone have advice on what might be causing such errors?

Re: elogd crashes during SSL Mirror operations involving attachments, posted by Andreas Warburton on Sat Jan 14 08:27:42 2017

For the time being, I am deeming ELOG 3.1.2 unusable with https (SSL = 1) functionality on my "Debian GNU/Linux 7 (wheezy)" server
with "OpenSSL 1.0.1t", due to the described apparent issues with SSL. Reverting to http (SSL = 0) brings back my ability to upload attachments
and synchronize with a remote elogd running on a MacOS laptop.

Re: elogd crashes during SSL Mirror operations involving attachments, posted by Andreas Warburton on Thu Jan 19 12:56:51 2017

Further to my comment in https://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/68549, if the described synchronization requires attachment(s) to be transferred from
my Mac laptop to the Debian linux server (with SSL = 0 set), it fails in all the tests that I tried.

To check whether these problems are linked to the OpenSSL version on the linux server, we also tried building an elogd executable using 1.0.2j

Opening a Local File using <a href="file:///../filename.doc">text</a>, posted by Terry Almond on Mon Jan 30 15:50:45 2017

I've created an elog where users can then enter links to a file: for example they would enter:

Linking to external files via "file:///..." is a bad idea, since only a pointer is stored in the elog. So if someone puts somehing on M: and
the drive is removed, the file is physically gone. No way to retrieve it. Instead of puttting links to files, users should get trained to ATTACH the files

I'm sorry but you are only half right. The mail contenct cannot be changed. But if your email notifications are sent as HTML, they contain a 1:1
copy of the elog entry, which does not make sense to change. For the attachment to be attached to the email, you need the flags of "Email Format".
The default there is 63, which means that elog attachments ARE sent as mail attachments.

"Reply-to" indeed does not make sense since elog cannot receive emails. Most sites use a generic "noreply@<domain>" to indicate
to the user that a reply does not make sense. I guess the "Reply-to" does not have to be unique, right?

Re: Elog not see image magick, posted by Stefan Ritt on Wed Nov 30 14:53:41 2016

The detection in elogd works by executing the command "convert" and check if the program executes. If you start elogd as a service, the program
might see another path variable. Maybe reboot Windows or start the service in the environment of a real user instead of system, where it might miss your
modified "path".

While the image scaling via ImageMagick works when running elog manually it doesn't when running elog as a service. The service
is hosted in the same user environment that allows image scaling with elog started manually. What else could go wrong?

Re: Elog not see image magick, posted by Stefan Ritt on Wed Apr 5 13:16:34 2017

Must be your PATH environment variable. You have usually different paths when running interactively or as a service. Try to change the path seen by services,
or put the ImageMagick executable in the same directory as elogd.

Path variable to the user specific variables for that user that runs the service (Path = %Path%) in the system settings. Finally, I tried copying the imdisplay.exe

Server dropping SSL connection while uploading large files, posted by Erkcan Ozcan on Sat Jun 10 07:05:24 2017

Hi Erkcan,

I observed similar behaviours when attempting to do SSL uploads and mirroring over a WAN (see some of my recent posts). Having not received
any responses/help, and no time to try debugging the source myself, I've changed the way I use ELOG such that my attachment uploads are always local

Re: Server dropping SSL connection while uploading large files, posted by Stefan Ritt on Thu Jun 29 08:36:03 2017

One possibility is to run elog in non-SSL mode and put an Apache server in front of it. The Apache server can then do the SSL communication, and forward
all requests to elog in plain text (non-SSL). This has been proven to work with large attachments, actually that's the way I use it.

I didn't find time to debug the SSL problem. If anybody is interested in doing so, the relevant code is in function server_loop() around

Email Notification (Not) Initiated by elog Client Utility, posted by Phil Rubin on Fri Jul 14 19:26:06 2017

Our configuration sends out e-mail notifications based on a hierarchy of attributes, and works fine with WEB submissions, but not with client utility

Is this possible? I didn't see any option for this at admin guide.

Re: Conditional attribute activation, posted by Andreas Luedeke on Mon Jul 24 14:33:51 2017

Yes, this is possible by using "Conditional Attributes". Have a look at the ELOG syntax help: https://midas.psi.ch/elog/config.html#conditional

To hide attributes on edit, you can use "Show Attributes Edit = ..." for the conditions; and you
only list the comment reason for the case where the value of the other attribute has the value "reserved".

I could begin debugging with C++. In the interim, if you think it will help, I can also provide you with my Config and log files, and the
section of redacted data encompassing the time of the hang - just let me know. Regarding CPU usage, I have noted that in the past and have
never seen very high CPU usage during an Elog hang. The VM itself remains responsive.

Re: elogd hangs, posted by Stefan Ritt on Fri Aug 18 16:26:14 2017

Well, having the config and data files only help if I can reproduce the hanging. If if you give me your files and a step-by-step instruction on how to
reproduce the hanging, I can give it a try. But if it happens randomly after a while, it will be very hard for me to reproduce and fix it without the exaclty
same user access pattern which of course I don't have.

Probably there are ways to achieve your desired behaviour (using mirror servers and synchronising the logbooks) but that would require

Drop down order, posted by Alan Grant on Mon Jan 15 16:46:58 2018

Can you please make a change to have the Quick Filter ComboBox controls reference the field type for ordering purposes?

For example, if attribute Lot Number is Type Numeric then the ComboBox should be listed in numerical order instead of alphanumeric (eg: 1,2,3,11,21

Is there a python3 api to generate logbook entries from python?, posted by markus on Tue Jan 16 09:30:55 2018

Dear elog community,

I wonder whether there is a python3 api or lib to generate and append entries (and attachments) to the logbook using scripts.
However, so far I did not find anything...

Re: Is there a python3 api to generate logbook entries from python?, posted by Stefan Ritt on Tue Jan 16 09:46:04 2018

There are two options

Wrap the "elog" command line tool
Use "curl". Ther is a PycURL library http://pycurl.io/docs/latest/ which
can be used, so you don't have to call any command line tool. The usage of curl is described in elog:68597

I haven't tried it myself, but it should allow you to add, reply, edit, delete elog entries from python (>= 3.5) via the http elog interface.
It's an anaconda package.

Entries disappear after editing, posted by Peter K on Sat Jan 27 03:37:11 2018

Drafts are message which somebody started to edit, but did not complete, like leaving the page without saving. If you don't like this, you can set
"save drafts = 0".

The locking has a similar background. If you have locking on (vis "Use lock = 1"), then one person can "lock" a message,

Hi Yves,

just my two pence, maybe they help you to figure out what's going on:

versions 2.* had all entries of one
logbook in one directory. Version 3.* create a subdirectory for each year. This had been added for me: if you use AFS for logbook storage, then you have
a limit on how many files you can put into a single directory.

So the first time you start elogd 3.* with data from an elogd 2.* it should

The message is not lost, but becomes a "draft". This works similar in most email systems. When you edit an email and son't send it, it
stays in your "draft" email folder and does not show up in your "sent" folder. Same here. You are suppost to "submit" you

Re: Problem with special character "č", posted by Stefan Ritt on Tue Mar 6 15:08:23 2018

Actually unicode characters are converted by your browser into HTML code (such as &#268) where 268 decimal = 10C hex. elog just writes to file what
it gets from the browser. When an existing elog entry gets shown by the browser, the code is translated back to the character. Why do you care what is
written to the log file? If you use scripts or so to parse your log files, you have to adapt them to correctly decode HTML encoded characters. This is

Pink problem: Yes the CSV export preserves the html tags, but what to do. CSV files are plain text with 8 bit characters. Unicode characgers have to
be represented with more than one byte. So either HTML encoding or some special escape sequence encoding. If you like the second better than the first,

Switch to the "summary" display (try it with this forum). You get headers (like "category"). Clicking on it sorts by that attribute.
Then display "all" entries, or use the "find" option to search in certain time periods, then just print the web page.

Alternatively, expeort logbook entries as CSV files, load them into a spreadsheet program, and do the sorting and printing there.

Re: Report Generating Tool?, posted by Hal Goldfarb on Tue May 22 06:55:21 2018

I don't see an "export" option in the documentation, only "import." Printing the web page is probably not what I want.

Enabling SSL, posted by Pasti on Fri May 18 08:04:37 2018

Hi all,

I'm following config guide and so far so good. The only issue I run into is when enabling SSL.

Guide says - One can replace this certificate and key with a real certificate to avoid browser pop-up windows warning about the self-signed certificate.

Re: Enabling SSL, posted by Stefan Ritt on Tue Jun 5 12:28:27 2018

This comes from the openSSL library which elog includes. I tried myelf and found that a chained certificate is not correctly interpreted by the openSSL
library. Most people anyhow don't use SSL inside elog, but run an Apache server in front of elog. This is anyhow better since Apache has an industry-strength
security with regular updates. Much better than relying on OpenSSL.

Thanks, good point, I was not sure that in case of other lists which will be changed as well, there will not be any problems, like overflow, etc.

important right now.

Re: number of entries in Login user list, posted by Stefan Ritt on Thu Jun 14 13:17:33 2018

Well, many arrays based on MAX_N_LIST are created on the heap memory, and if you exceed that, elogd simply crashes. There are compile options to increase
the stack and heap size, but that depends on the operating system and the compiler. The value of 100 has been proven to work everywhere. If you increase
it, you're on your own.

Re: Entry size too large for email notification, posted by Andreas Luedeke on Tue May 19 16:34:20 2015

Hi Jacky,

if I read the source code correctly then the maximum size of a base64 encoded email is hard coded to be 10 MB in elogd.h (recompile
after changing it):

That's how it is implemented. If you use

then attachments below 1 MB are sent as attachments, and if the attachment is above 1 MB, then only a link to the attachment in the elog is sent.

Have you selected "HTML" encoding (below the main message box). The HTML editor is not activated if you have "plain" text encoding.
Did you try the default elogd.cfg file? If you modified the config file and did a mistake there, the program can for example not properly find all directories.
Also makse sure you did a full install with "make install", not just update the executable.

I believe Yanick means the SMTP port, not the port under which elogd is listening. The SMPT port is hard wired to 25, because port 587 was not yet defiend
when I wrote that code. I can make this a variable, but only if it works. So Yanick can you test if port 587 accepts normal SMTP commands? We don't
have such a new server at our lab and I cannot test it. Under Windows you can open a command prompt and telnet to the mail server:

Re: Logbook architecture and availability, posted by Stefan Ritt on Fri Dec 14 16:00:45 2018

Sure that's easy. Install elog on each laptop separately, so they run without network. Then, set up a central elog server, and use "mirroring"
as explained in the documentation at https://elog.psi.ch/elog/config.html#mirroring

So when ever the entwork comes back, you execute a manual mirror operation, and your new entries will be pushed to the central elog server.

Mirror synchronization and file servers, posted by Frank Baptista on Fri Mar 1 19:18:53 2019

We have a number of temperature chambers – each has its own laptop running a local ELOG server, with unique logbook for each. Using the mirror
feature, these individual logbooks periodically synchronize to a single remote desktop server, which has a copy of each of the logbooks. All of that
works great, as long as each of the ELOG servers are storing the logbook(s) to their respective local hard drive.

Re: Mirror synchronization and file servers, posted by Stefan Ritt on Mon Mar 4 13:35:13 2019

Sounds really strange to me. The remote server does not "know" that "S:\" is a network drive, so the syncing process should work
exactly as before. The only idea I have is that the access to the network files take pretty long, and you run into a timeout during syncing. We had this
in the past (for AFS netwhor shares, not Windows shares), where sometimes we have a blocking behaviour where the file access lasted 10-20 seconds, and

Have you cleared your browser cache? There might be some old JavaScript stored there. If that does not help, remove elog and reinstall it to make sure to
have the correct libraries on the server (first back up you logbooks, then restore them afterwards).

in Microsoft Edge. Perhaps its an issue with a Microsoft update (corporate rollout) to Edge and just a coincidence that I noticed it after updating Elog.

Re: How to edit Elog landing pages., posted by Stefan Ritt on Thu Apr 4 12:53:09 2019

Per default, all pages are created dynamically by elogd directly from its C code. So nothing to change easily except hacking the code. There is one exception
which is the start page you found already. To change any other page, you have to modify the C code. There is one more (dirty) trick: You can sneak in JavaScript
code on every page via the "bottom text" option. This code can then modify the DOM tree and changes pages, but you need to program this in JavaScript.

We're running elogd behind an apache proxy server, with Authentication = Webserver. We have top groups configured, but a single shared password file.

If a user is looking at a particular logbook and goes to the Config link, they are presented with a list of checkboxes for email subscription
to logbooks in that top group. Clicking "Save" will remove all email subscriptions from all other top groups.

There are two ways:

1) Use different password files for different logbooks. Each password file contains only those users which have access to that logbook.

2) Use "Login user = <usr list>" to restrict access to certain users in that list.

Re: elog program does not respect "Allow edit" list, posted by Heinz Junkes on Wed Apr 24 10:21:58 2019

forbidden further editing.

This kind of behavior we typically see if some elog entry is corrupt. After a few hours you might access this corrupt entry by accident, and then the

Last default = <n>, posted by Alan Grant on Mon Apr 29 02:41:15 2019

According to the doc on the setting "Last default = <n>" it is intended to restrict Quick Filter searches to the last (n) days of entries,
however when I add "Last default = 28" to config it still returns entries far older then 28 days when using the filter search. Am I misunderstanding,
or implementing it wrong? We must restrict searches through QF to reduce load.

Re: Last default = <n>, posted by Stefan Ritt on Mon Apr 29 13:12:56 2019

Indeed the description of the "Last default = <n>" option is not clear. I just updated that. If you have a quick filter "Date",
then you have different options there like "Last day", "Last 3 days", "Last week", "Last month", "Last 3 months",
"Last 6 months", "Last year". Each of these options has an underlying number of days, which are 1, 3, 7, 31, 92, 182, 364. In the "Last

I just changed to Last default = 31 and even restarted elogd.exe but it still finds a given string older than 31 days. Also the default Select Period
box value next to the QF's remains at All Entries. My understanding is it shoud behave like Find, where Show Last Default = 31 should default
the display to Month, and also only search within the last month of entries.

Re: Last default = <n>, posted by Stefan Ritt on Wed May 1 11:06:04 2019

It works for me. Have you tried other values (1, 3, 7, ..)? The key is that the quick filter changes to "Last month". If it does not, there
must be some trivial error, like type in elogd.cfg, you modify the wrong logbook, have a very old version of elog etc.

Stefan

Re: Last default = <n>, posted by Stefan Ritt on Wed May 1 11:08:10 2019

You say "Show Last Default = 31". This options applies only to the "Find" page, the option "Last Default = 31" works for
the quick filter. Probably you have to change "Show Last Default" to "Last Default".

Calculations & Interfacing a DataBase with Elog., posted by John on Sat Jun 22 06:52:32 2019

Hi, I am trying to calculate two or more Elog fields and then return the value to Elog. I am currently learning Perl to do this. I realize JS can do
this.. but so can IBM Basic ;) I am savy with other db techniques like sql. My question is before I get too far along with this project, is it safe
to say the current storage of Elog data is 'Flat File' database? I also want to find out if it would be better to try and grab the data prior OR

Re: Calculations & Interfacing a DataBase with Elog., posted by Stefan Ritt on Sat Jun 22 10:07:08 2019

Yes elog stores data in a flat file database. Go to your logbook directory and look for files YYMMDDa.log where you find all data. Some people do a post
submit call to scripts, other integrate JS directly on each page (e.g. via "bottom text" option where you can load a whole JavaScript file),
then pick the fields and do calculations directly in the edit window.

While tags are not explicitly foreseen, you can use moptions and filter with them. Look at this logbook for example: Click on "Find", then
select one or more boxes of the "OS" attribute, and you will see the filtering. Another option is to use freetext in the subject for example.
I added "#testtag" in this subject, so you can search for the text "#testtag" and will find this entry.

I would claim it is already properly supported. If you hit a size limit you can configure your ELOG to adjust the limit (Max content
length).

Re: Drag and drop does not work in 3.1.3?, posted by Lech on Wed Aug 21 02:21:57 2019

From what I've read in a past post, it is hitting the max content length because pasting, unlike dropping, is not properly supported and it is possible
that images get converted to text in some way and occupy a lot of "content length". So what I mean is that the pasted image is handled the same
way as the dropped image.

Re: Drag and drop does not work in 3.1.3?, posted by Lech on Wed Aug 21 07:00:17 2019

I've discovered, that if I switch my local elog to SSL, dropping of images starts to work (as expected). However... pasting stops. If I select "paste"

paste in the popup window (image appears there), but after clicking OK nothing appears in the editing window. In Chrome and Opera nothing appears even

This is a local issue on your network, if you have a mail server setup. SMTP is not handled directly by Elog and neither is any other mail protocal.
Elog just sends the requested email to your server for processing to the recipients afaict. And whatever server (or service) you use to handle email sending
needs to be able to accept them from your mail server. So after verifying which ones you want to use; (like OutLook, or gmail, or whatever), then

There is a way to implement it; but it makes your installation a lot more complicated: you can have two ELOG servers. The first has all logbooks

Change column width in list mode?, posted by David Wallis on Mon Dec 2 23:28:28 2019

In some of our logbooks, some columns are very narrow, which makes their content difficult to read. I have tried adding a custom css file like this:

listframe td:nth-child(3) {
width: 250px;

Re: Change column width in list mode?, posted by Stefan Ritt on Wed Dec 4 10:37:32 2019

You need

local usage on windows + Linux virtual machine , posted by Sara Vanini on Fri Jan 24 14:56:56 2020

Hello again,

I love to use elog, but I don't need any other accessing it for the moment. So, it is possible to run elog locally on my PC, and make it
not accessible from outside?

Re: local usage on windows + Linux virtual machine , posted by John on Fri Jan 24 21:04:51 2020

Elog does not access the outside world by default. With the VM I suppose just access it via the Linux local ip address (and
port).

logins with Active Directory, LDAP, or local accounts, so the PAM option preserves all of that.

Re: ELOG reverts to demo configuration, posted by Andreas Luedeke on Fri Feb 21 19:11:12 2020

If you've upgraded from an elog 2.x version to an 3.x version, then all entries of a logbook will be moved into subfolder, one for each year.

If you then switch back to the 2.x version of elog, it'll not find any entries.

You can move them back to the folder for the logbook (one directory up) and they'll be found again after the next restart of elog.

Re: Expanding column width when viewing in Summary mode, posted by Stefan Ritt on Fri Jul 17 09:18:18 2020

You can't directly change individual columns, but you can reduce the "Text" column. This is done in themes/default/elog.css. Search for
"listtitle2" and change or remove the line "width:100%". This makes the text column narrower, leaving more space for the subject column.

Anyone who knows me knows I (ab)use elog a lot. And this one is another of a long list of cheats and work arounds rather than modifying the

In summary mode, the top row are titles, and if they are long, they will dominate the width of that column. Similarly if they are short,

I can think of two reasons why you don't see a change:

1) You modified the wrong file. The elog.css file is under elog/themes/default/elog.css. If you "install" elog, it might go into your
installation directory. So check if you have more than one file with this name.

Start your new server interactively with "elogd -v 3" to see all verbose output. You will then see how it indexes all logbooks. If not, you

You can put your files where ever you want, just tell elogd where to find the elogd.cfg file via the "-c" flag. Then tell elogd where to find files
in the elogd.cfg file via the "Logbook dir" and "Resource dir" directives.

When you compile elog from the soruces, you need the OpenSSL library to be installed. The CMake build process will then find it and include it in the

This is correct. The elogd daemon needs username and password in parameters "unm" and "upwd". The password must be SHA256 encoded,
so best is to grab it from the password file. This way one does not have to send clear text passwords over the network.

Re: field selections persist across new log entries?, posted by Andreas Luedeke on Wed Sep 9 10:33:58 2020

It is probably possible, but requires a big of a hack.

to write the value of this field into a file.

Whenever you create a new entry you read the PRESET value with a shell script from that file.

Re: Insert images slow downs the ELOG, posted by Andreas Luedeke on Sat Sep 12 19:19:02 2020

I found the most limiting factor of ELOG to be the file access. ELOG stores all entries in files and therefore has a lot of disk access.

We found that an AFS directory for ELOG is unusable. We tried to store our logbooks on NFS, and it was barely usable but slow. Now we use a local
disk on the server, that works fine.

Periodically (rarely) on manually adding a record into Elog it generates a duplicate record with its own incremented ID and I don't know
why. I just delete the duplicate in the meantime but would like to know if anyone else has seen this and whether their is a answer/fix for it. Thanks.

Re: Duplicate entries, posted by David Pilgram on Thu Mar 16 16:11:02 2017

I've seen exact;y this effect, even though I have branching = 0 in my config file - so ordinarily no chance to have two
replies to an entry. My pointer aka mouse (I'm on Linux) is a bit dodgy, and sometimes disconnects/reconnects, so in effect gives
a very fast double click. I've always assumed that was the cause of the problem. The two replies have incremental IDs, and both those IDs

I find that I can reply to a message ("original" message, if you will) without doing anything to the reply message (the "copy" of
the original message, if you will). If I then submit it, it gets saved as a new message, identical to the one I replied to.

Re: Duplicate entries, posted by David Pilgram on Wed Dec 2 15:57:25 2020

I'm not sure if this is what you want.

If you want to prevent "accidental" replies being identical to the original message, you can force a situation where the user will
be alerted that they have to do something if they really want to make a reply.

I was only commenting on the predicament as I have run into it also. I have required fields, but short of some sort of "abort" control

that may arise.

Options <...> vs ROptions <...>, posted by Wolfgang Bayer on Thu Apr 28 11:20:40 2011

According to section "Syntax of elogd.cfg" of the "Administrator's Guide" Options <attribute> = <list> and

ROptions <attribute> = <list> should be the same. But there is a litle difference, because choosing an entry of the Options-pull-down
menu causes a reload of the entry mask while choosing a ROption-radio-button the entry mask is not reloaded. This causes a problem using conditional attributes.

When you submit a "normal" elog entry, you can click on "Choose file" to add an attachment. On a mobile device, you will then be
asked to select a photo from your library or take one with your camera. You can do the same on a custom form. You have to extract the code from the normal
submissoin form and program it on your custom page. It needs however some work and might not be straight forward.

out which one it is. Then
remove that one and set it up freshly.

Re: Date conversion, posted by Andreas Luedeke on Tue Feb 23 17:20:39 2021

If you define a field as "datetime" then you'll get the standard ELOG input field for datetime. It will be stored as seconds of the epoch
(seconds since 1.1.1970).

You can define a field as a default string input, then it is stored as a string. But you can convert that string by a shell scripts into seconds

Re: Date conversion, posted by Sebastian Schenk on Tue Mar 2 15:17:56 2021

One other way would be to do the conversion on the client-side using javascript.
Overwrite the complete datetime input cell and add an event listener to either onChange of this input or the submit event, to trigger the conversion
before submitting, so elog would get the converted time.

Re: Date conversion, posted by Stefan Ritt on Wed Mar 10 17:30:23 2021

Do you actually need to convert the date into the internal format? Why not keeping simply the full string YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM. If the use is disciplined
enough to always use the correct format, there should be no issue. I invented the datetime format to "force" all date/time inputs to have the
correct format. If you have a proper YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM format, even sorting (now by string) should work correctly.

Just noting that, depending on what you want to achieve, you may be able to use the threading functionality so that a "new" entry is actually

It seems, you are using the mirror function of elog. It should resolve conflicts by itself acording to the documented rules. (https://elog.psi.ch/elog/config.html)
As I don't use this function, I can't say how good it works.

Bug: "Append on edit" triggers too often, posted by Faith on Tue May 4 14:45:47 2021

The command "Append on edit = " is getting executed everytime, when a dropdown menu is changed. This happens even at the first creation of

I can confirm the issue also for "prepend on edit".
To be more precise, it gets executed everytime the condition state changes, if placed in the config without condition, or if placed in a condition,
everytime the condition gets activated.

New user not working, posted by Gabriel Lopez on Thu May 20 21:01:41 2021

Naming a Notebook KTAG Wipes Out Formatting. Why?, posted by Phil Rubin on Sat May 22 20:44:33 2021

An experiment's ELOG installation, using the default theme, names logbooks after its subsystem's acronyms.  One subsystem is referred to

works fine.  Nothing close to KTAG appears in elog.css.  Does anyone know why this happens and whether it is possible or worth the while to get

Re: Request: make $text available for "subst", posted by Stefan Ritt on Mon Mar 22 15:10:12 2021

$text is the full body text and can go over many lines. Since attributes are restricted to single lines, it's not possible to substitute them with
the body text.

Stefan

Re: Request: make $text available for "subst", posted by Andreas Luedeke on Mon Mar 22 19:59:13 2021

While the input widget of text attributes is a single line, they can easily be multi-line in the display - when you use HTML at least.
And of course the user can parse the text field and generate a single line, if he wants to.
If you leave it to me, I'll create wonderful applications to that feature :-)

Re: Request: make $text available for "subst", posted by Stefan Ritt on Wed Mar 24 10:06:26 2021

Sure, attributes can be shown multi-line, but they cannot be stored in the elog internal database. The database is a very old design and only allows
for single line attributes. Just look at a YYMMDDa.log file and you will see that. I would have to change the database format to somethign more advanced
like XML, but that would take me a couple of weeks or months.

Re: Request: make $text available for "subst", posted by Andreas Luedeke on Wed Mar 24 22:09:56 2021

Hi Stefan,
no problem: if I just strip all newlines from the $text field (in HTML you use <br> anyway, the newline has no function apart from whitespace),
and my multiline attribute is fine to go.

Re: Request: make $text available for "subst", posted by Andreas Luedeke on Mon Jun 14 18:06:06 2021

I should tell that I found a simpler way to achieve the same:
I suppress the "text" field and use a single line text input field instead.
The single line input in "free text" modes just contains "<br>" : I would have had to use those in the text field anyway.

Re: Request: make $text available for "subst", posted by Sebastian Schenk on Tue Mar 23 13:42:27 2021

I am not Stefan, but maybe I can add to this issue.

Personally I think it is not a good way to dump all the information into the text field and try to let the server parse it.
This could be archived more simply by using e.g. the python elog scripts or using the elog command tool to directly submit well structured elog

If the logbook files are getting big, searching text in entries can take quite some time. But if you have a log file logging all activities, that should
not slow down elog since the server just appends at the end of that file which is a quick operation.

You can either lock all entries or none. So I would propose you set up two logbooks, one for technical changes which is not locked and one for what experimentalists
are doing which is locked. Locking can be done a certain time after an entry has been made (like 1h, 1d, 1 month etc.). Or you simply make the logbook
read-only.

Reverse proxy of Elog using Docker and Nginx?, posted by Andrew Wade on Mon Aug 13 21:09:30 2018

I've been trying to configured a Synology NAS to run my personal elog with a reverse proxy to the outside world. The best way seems to be running

This second container manages the certificates to letsencrypt and mapping URL requests to relevant containers so that connection is secured properly.

For
new entries one would need to make the logging print line later - but that would blow up the code.

The message IDs are correct for saving

As a regular elog (ab)user, I have seen this behaviour from time to time.  So far as I recall, the cause actually is that a normal entry is looking

But this is real progress! Now elog successfully connected, and all your data was transmitted, but elogd refused your content.

A possible explanation is that one required attribute of this logbook was not provided in your elog command, or that one value of an
attribute does not match any allowed value for that attribute.

why Apach complains

The requested URL /LogBook/ was not found on this server.

It is the default. If you install ELOG on your PC and run it, then every access will be directly to the ELOG web service. If you want to have Apache

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.

Re: Password File Config Issue, posted by Stefan Ritt on Thu Feb 10 14:02:15 2022

Can you try the "top groups" option, which means putting each logbook into a separate top group as described in the documentation. For us this
works well, new users are only added to the right password file. There is however the problem that as admin you might be logged in to several logbooks
(as remembered in your browser via cookies), so you might want to log out from all logbooks first (or clear all cookies of elog), then log in to one logbook

"New User" option does not work when Authentication=Webserver, posted by Jan Just Keijser on Fri May 29 09:27:32 2020

pops up saying that their username (the admin one, not the new one) already exists. I found the following code:

Slow performance, posted by Alan Grant on Tue Jun 28 18:53:50 2022

We're up to 30 logbooks, 3.2GB data total and Elog damen has now become slow. Performance stats show 100%CPU on startup then reduces. Searches and
general UI activity is slow. It runs on a VM with 4GB memory allocated. Up to 15 concurrent users.

We have 68 logbooks and currently 60 GB data total. We run it as well on a VM, in our case with 8GB RAM.
The speed of ELOG is mostly given by the filesystem: when we had AFS it was very slow. With NFS it was better. But we now use a local disk
on the VM: that is much better.

Re: Need help with permission, posted by Stefan Ritt on Mon Sep 26 12:38:29 2022

Permissions are handled by the operating system and have nothing to do with elog. Make sure you run elog under an account which has write access to the
desired directories. Consult Ubuntu documentation how to do that. Sometimes it's helpful to start elog interactively with the -v flag to see some verbose
output. Maybe you can spot something there.

the SELinux documentation on how to fix that.

Most likely these are some currupt logbook files. If you get a coredump (or stack trace) you can maybe figure out which file it was. These are plain

The way to do this is to ensure that the date of the entry is in the future.  As a hard -core linux (ab)user of elog, I create an entry, then dive
into the yymmdda.log files, and edit it so that the date at the top of the entry is, for example, Sat, 31 Dec 2022 23:59:59.  Then, that entry will
remain at the top of the listings until the New Year.  I do this very thing for the very same reason, i.e. to keep one entry at the top of the listings

Re: Too many redirects when running behind load balancer?, posted by Tamas Gal on Tue Jul 19 11:24:36 2022

I also tried the default configuration (example config) and it that works behind the load balancer. So I guess it's related to the password-page,
which causes this redirect loop? Our logbooks are all password protected, so when a logbook URL is clicked, it should first present the login-form, and
that's where it chokes.

Re: Too many redirects when running behind load balancer?, posted by Stefan Ritt on Tue Jul 19 11:40:59 2022

Yeah, after you enter a password, elog redirects to what it finds in "URL". You can trace that by opening "development tools" in
Google Chrome, go to "network" and watch packets going back and forth. I never worked with the load balancer, but maybe you need a different
"URL" containing a '/' at the end?

Re: Too many redirects when running behind load balancer?, posted by Stefan Ritt on Tue Jul 19 12:48:42 2022

Yes I see the redirects. You say with the example logbook it works, right? Is it the password protection which triggers the problem or anything else?
Does it work if you take out the password protection? The key is to identify which setting in your config file triggers the problem, so you can bracket
the problem down between the example logbook and your logbook definition.

Upload via command line through Apache reverse proxy and load balancer, posted by Tamas Gal on Wed Jan 25 18:41:27 2023

After fiddling around I managed to get ELOG working behind the load balancer HAProxy by stacking ELOG together with an Apache reverse proxy in a Docker
stack. I am currently pretty convinced that something with the HTTP communication is somehow faulty in ELOG and Apache is more forgiving than HAProxy,
since the configuration is the same as without Apache. So putting ELOG behind an Apache and then Apache behind the HAProxy is working.

Invalid Content-Length in header when running behind a load balancer, posted by Tamas Gal on Wed Jan 25 14:36:33 2023

expected. This was with version 3.1.3.

Re: Invalid Content-Length in header when running behind a load balancer, posted by Tamas Gal on Wed Jan 25 19:51:29 2023

I put the ELOG service behind an Apache reverse proxy which is now sitting behind the HAProxy. It works like this, but it's just a workaround. I
am pretty sure that ELOG has problems to communicate with HAProxy correctly and it seems that Apache is more forgiving. So that the chain HAProxy ->
Apache -> ELOG and vice versa is working.

in November 2021.

Re: Wikipedia Article deleted, posted by Stefan Ritt on Thu Jan 19 17:00:37 2023

I agree. I ahead ;-) I think it is not a good idea if the ELOG author pushes on that, but better someone else.

Stefan

Re: Wikipedia Article deleted, posted by Andreas Luedeke on Fri Jan 20 10:25:23 2023

It looks to me like only an author of an article can contradict a deletion. I did not find a single method to even comment on the deletion.
I am not an Wikipedia expert, can anyone suggest on how to push for the article to be restored? Or do we just write it again, until people stop
deleting it?

Re: Wikipedia Article deleted, posted by Sebastian Schenk on Fri Jan 20 13:12:48 2023

I have requested an undeletion of the article. The article was deleted "PROD", which means that someone tagged it. And if noone removes
the tag, it could be deleted.

I could revive the article. So in the future, One should have an eye on it and maybe update the current version of the software.

Re: Wikipedia Article deleted, posted by Andreas Luedeke on Fri Jan 27 22:25:18 2023

It appears to me that this is a really stupid problem: the article provides many links to sources, but they are just links, not "references".
That does not count, since links could be something else than references.

I'll try to edit it and transform the list of external links into references to verify the text. Lets hope that this will suffice.

Wikipedia has been an unreliable source for a very long time, just for the reasons that we are seeing here now with psi

of many others that have as well. I see no reason why an organization as ours with such great ideas, programs and people need to be on their

CKeditor Settings Cant Be Changed , posted by James Smallcombe on Wed Feb 1 11:13:21 2023

I wanted to change some CKeditor settings so tried modifying elog/scripts/ckeditor to no avail.

I wiped elog/scripts/ and dropped a fresh download of CKeditor4, with only the basic extensions. But when I open the elog it still shows the
full toolbar, with elog default style and with all extensions operational.

Re: CKeditor Settings Cant Be Changed , posted by James Smallcombe on Thu Feb 2 10:13:19 2023

So it was just a clearing cache issue. elogd was telling the browser to use/not use CKeditor based on the aformentioned, and browser was then using the
cached version. Fixed now.

And FYI for anyone who reads this when trying to modify CKeditor themselves, it seems elog needs the iFrame Editing Area plugin included.

It means that you could replace the currently distributed CKeditor with a fresh vanilla installation of CKeditor?

Re: CKeditor Settings Cant Be Changed , posted by James Smallcombe on Thu Feb 2 10:35:38 2023

Yes replacing the CKeditor folder with a vanila download works without issue, provided you clean the cache.
For what I originally wanted to do (modifiying the toolbar) I could have just run elog/scripts/ckeditor/samples/toolbarconfigurator/index.html
and edited the config file, but a clean cache is needed (on Chrome, Firefox and Edge).

Re: Let the user decide which columns should be displayed, posted by Stefan Ritt on Mon Jan 22 12:15:26 2024

There is a general display option "List display", but that applies for all users. For the download, you can load the CSV file into a spreadsheet

How to not expose elog port when running under a reverse proxy, posted by Nicola on Mon Jan 22 08:22:33 2024

I am running elog under Apache as explained in the administrator's guide. Everything works fine, butmy IT service complains about the elog port being
publicly exposed, so I have to fix this. As far as I understand when running under a reverse proxy there's no need for the port to be publiuclyexposed,
but I cannot find how to configure the elog server to expose it only locally

as I understand right you can do this in the elogd.cfg via

Webserver Auth Method and Self Registration, posted by James on Sun Feb 18 11:43:07 2024

Hi there. I have been testing a set-up of elog behind an Apache reverse proxy using the Webserver auth method. Apache has been configured for LDAPS with
Active Directory allowing us to restrict Elogs by AD group, something not able to be done with the LDAP module.

To have ELOG RPM for EL9, you need to rebuild package from source under EL9 host or VM (i use almalinux9 for this test) :

1- install RPM build tools (csh is used by ELOG scripts. Devel rpms are dependencies) :

sudo dnf install rpm-build gcc gcc-c++ git openssl-devel krb5-devel pam-devel openldap-devel csh

2- retrieve last source
