  66134   Wed Jan 7 19:54:18 2009 Question kyoojosh@newgistics.comBug reportWindows2.7.5-2130Google Chrome issues

 I use Google Chrome for web browsing these days..  I've had serious issues with surfing some of the pages of our ELOG V2.7.5-2130 site.  For instance, I can surf directly to our url to create a new entry (http://changelog.company.com/Company+IT+Change+Log/?cmd=New) and see the page just fine.  But when I click on the header to go back to the main page (http://changelog.company.com/Company+IT+Change+Log/) I end up with this error:

 

 

 

This webpage is not available.

The webpage at http://changelog.company.com/Company+IT+Change+Log/ might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.

 

Below is the original error message
Error 320 (net::ERR_INVALID_RESPONSE): Unknown error.

 

 

But when I visit the DEMO elog site (http://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Linux%20Demo/) it pulls right up just fine..  My site also works in IE without problems.

 

Any ideas?  I run our ELOG on windows server.. maybe that has something to do with it..

So, is your kubuntu elog server internal only, as well?  My elog server on windows is an internal only server.. 
and there is no proxy or firewall between chrome and the elog server.. I didn't set it up, but I think elogd runs 
it's own web service.. probably apache within the win32 port.

It's good to know someone else has the issue, at least.  I'd like to find a publicly available elog server so 
that the elog developers could recreate the issue and thusly fix the issue.  Or at the very least send the broken 
URL to Google Chrome developers to see if it's a bug in the browser or not.

I ran wireshark to capture what happens at the ethernet level, and it seems that the HTTP response doesn't come 
through properly.  My response packets to the TCP response packets seems to be:

"Acknowledgment number: Broken TCP. The acknowledge field is nonzero while the ACK flag is not set"
My system never receives enough TCP packets to reassemble it to a properly formatted HTTP response.

Then the stream just aborts, apparently.

Thanks.  I'll have to wait for someone else to build the win32 binary, as I'm not set up to compile it myself.

I installed the latest Windows build (didn't realize I missed a build in November), and it now works in Chrome.  Thanks!
  65656   Sat Nov 24 03:16:46 2007 Entry lancelance1.hayward@yahoo.comInfoWindowsELOG V2.7.Message ID and trouble ticketing system

I am trying to create a trouble ticket system however when you do a reply you get a new message ID.  I was hoping to use the message ID as a ticket number and just wanted to use the reply as an append to the orginal message id, however each reply creates a new message id. This would be a nightmare to track and if I closed the ticket I would have to close every log entry related to this.

Does anyone know how to either make the reply and appended reply (appended to the orignal message id) or how to create a field that automatically gives it a new trouble ticket number.

Has anyone configured a trouble ticket system that I could look at to get some ideas?

 

Thanks,

 

Lance

First of all, ELOG has been designed having shift logbooks in mind, so it probably will never be a perfect trouble ticket system. Nevertheless, there are some options which can help in that respect:

  • Use attributes Ticket and Status
  • Preset Ticket with a running ticket number via

    Preset ticket = TCK-#####

    This will increment the 5-digit ticket number whenever you create a new ticket, but will not update it when you do a reply

  • Use Status to determine the status of the whole trouble ticket chain (initial entry plus replies)

    Options Status = open, closed
    Preset Status = open

  • Once a ticked chain is closed, do the following:

    • Go to the threaded list display
    • Click on Select
    • Select the trouble ticket chain
    • Click on Edit
    • Now change Status from "Open" to "Closed"
    This will then modify the Status of the whole chain from "Open" to "Closed"

Stefan,

Thanks for this, I had already implemented the Preset Ticket Nr = TT-##### but I didnt use the threaded and Select to close the ticket, very nice tip thanks. I think this program can be have several uses, and working very well. The trouble ticketing will work for us.

Once again thanks for the very speedy support.

  66401   Wed Jun 17 09:05:27 2009 Angy lancelance1.hayward@yahoo.comQuestionWindows2.7.2synchronization

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.

The issue for us is not how long the sync takes, providing this was happening in the background, and doesnt lock out the server while the replication was taking place. We are operating under a 24 hour call center type environment so the server being available all the time is of paramount importance.

We use version 2.7.2 and I know there have been several changes made since this version. Would changing to the latest version have any impact on this?

 

Cheers,

 

Lance

Stefan,

I have been running logging and I think I have found the problem however I do not know how to resolve it.

Here is where it is going wrong:

19-May-2009 04:02:48 [] {NSS} MIRROR: ID21268: Local entry submitted

19-May-2009 04:07:34 [] {AMC} MIRROR: send entry #31056

It seems that when it has finished replication on one logbook there is a significant time before the next logbook replication starts. During this time the server is not avalable. I have noticed that the time between ending one logbook and starting the next differs betwee 2 and 5 minutes. Again the server is not available when this happens.

Do you have any idea?

Cheers,

 

Lance
