Unfortunately such a feature is not implemented in the current version.

Is it possible to use wget to log into elog and export all of a logbook's data into a CSV file?

I can accomplish this perfectly when authentication IS NOT required by using:  wget --no-check-certificate -O e:\export.csv http://localhost:8080/demo/?mode=CSV1

However, I cannot accomplish it when authentication IS required by using:  wget --no-check-certificate -O e:\export.csv "http://localhost:8080/demo/?mode=CSV1&uname=agrant&upassword=skipper"

The latter appears to show that I've logged in, but the export file only contains a bunch of HTML tags, not the actual data as in the former.

How should I construct the wget command?

UPDATE:

After days of head banging and trying different syntax combinations, I finally stumbled on my own answer. It involved some syntax adjustments, and then splitting the task into these two consecutive operations:

      1. wget --no-check-certificate --cookies=on --save-cookies cookies.txt --keep-session-cookies -O e:\export1.csv "http://localhost:8080/demo/?uname=agrant&upassword=skipper"

      2. wget --no-check-certificate --cookies=on --load-cookies cookies.txt --keep-session-cookies -O e:\export2.csv http://localhost:8080/demo/?mode=CSV1

All is working fine now.

Hello,

What is the procedure to delete a logbook (incl. attachments)?

Steve

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.

Stefan,

Thank you that is exactly what I needed to know.

We have always had issues with eLOG crashing intermittently...  I upgraded from Server 2003 to Server 2008 about a year ago to try to reduce the issues...  which really didn't help.

The service now seems to crash every week...  (getting worse)...  Is anyone seeing these issues in Windows servers?  Any suggestions??

We do run ELOG on a Linux server and see about weekly crashes, too. It seems to be connected to the authentication process (Kerberos, File), but we could not nail it down yet.

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

If ELOG is down for two minutes a week, this is fine for our users.
