Did you try the options

  • Summary lines = x
  • Summary line length = x

as documented in https://midas.psi.ch/elog/config.html#flags ?

It works nicely with plain text entries; it has some difficulties with HTML, since it has to remove the formatting and that disturbs the line count.

Cheers Andreas

I use a elog which has a text field to show log entries:  https://classis01.roma1.infn.it/elog/calib/     In the "Summary" view there are only 3 lines of about 40 characters shown, so often the entry is cut off even though there is plenty of space in the text box for longer lines.   To see the full entry you must click on the ID number.   Is there any way to configure the Text box to show longer lines?   Thank you.

 

 

  68304   Wed Apr 27 14:07:52 2016 Question Andreas Luedekeandreas.luedeke@psi.chRequestAllV3.1.1How to enforce line breaks in plain text entries?
We use ELOG for our accelerator operation logbooks. As part of the shift handover every shift prints out all
entries made during the shift and files the printouts. If one entry in the shift was plain text without
appropriate linebreaks (like this one), then this screws up the printout: the whole window is scaled to the width
of this line and either the printout is cut off at the right side, or the whole content is scaled down to very
tiny scale, which makes it unreadable.

Is there a way to enforce line breaks in plain text entries?

Obviously there is: this logbook does add line breaks?!?

Maybe it is only a problem with entries made by the "elog" command?
I'll find it out and re-post.

Cheers

Okay, I found two ways to add very long lines:
- if the very long line does not contain a space then this will screw the printout.
- if the line has been added as plain text using the elog command, there will be no line breaks added.

It would be nice if the elog command would have an option to break lines to a maximum line length.
But for the moment I'll just modify the applications that make use of the elog command.

I'm not sure I understand your question correctly.

If you want to remove options from an extendable option attribute, then you can just edit the logbook configuration file.

Hello,

We have accumulated some duplicate 'types' in one of our logbooks.  Is it possible to merge them?

Thanks,

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.

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??

It would be new to me if elog would support independent [global] sections for each logbook.
I thought you can only have one [global] section. Whatever is defined in that section will be valid for all logbooks.

If you need to have different user files, you'll need to run different elogd services with independent config files (and Password files).

Aparently I've missed that one :-)

In order to test your problem it would be useful to have a minimal config file to reproduce the problem. Yours does not include any actual logbook, only [global *] sections.
