Yes it works fine in this forum. I also discovered my problem is resolved using Chrome. I'll dig into browser and let you know when I find something. 

Found the problem. I needed to turn on Compatibility View in IE for the site. Regards.

What is the input format expected by the elog client for a required Datetime defined field when inserting a record? (Eg: October 26, 2016 = ? in the field's data parameter).

I have read some prior posts on this and the indication is that the input needs to use epoch time, however even when I enter 1477493161 or 0 the client still flags the variable data as missing. If this is in fact the format I shoud be using then I can provide a sample input and output message to illustrate my problem.

UPDATE:

As I continue to test and troubleshoot this problem I noticed something peculiar: the Datetime defined field that the client is rejecting when I attempt a record insert is listed as a Required attribute. However, when I just remove it from the Required list the record including the epoch time is inserted without any problems.

I am now unsure if my configuration is deficient somewhere, vs a problem with the client program code.

I really appreciate your reply David.

There's only one Datetime defined field that I'm working with so I'm not sure what you mean, if you don't mind elaborating? It sounds interesting.

The only thing I gather right now from what you're saying is that there's essentially two locations where a field can be defined - in the Config file, or via the format of the data itself in the client command - but I could be wrong. 

Hi Stefano.

This may or may not have anything to do with your specific problem but I notice you have the single word "date" as part of your attribute name and Date is actually a reserved word in Elog. Although your attribute is not exclusively called "date" I have found that even using "date" as an isolated word within an attribute name (eg: Record date vs Record_date) can cause some issues. In my case, it caused a problem with the elog client when trying to update records which was only resolved when I changed the name of the attribute to Date/Time Received from Date and Time Received. Long story short, I avoid using any reserved words as part of attribute names.

I haven't found any reporterd issues in the forum similar yet, but it appears there is a bug in Elog when logging into logbooks. If I leave Username and Password null and click Submit the daemon crashes. We've been having this problem off and on and after some verbose logging level 3 I was drawn to these recurring lines in the log:

16-Dec-2016 18:20:22 [172.23.113.4] {SER Reports} LOGIN user "" (attempt)
16-Dec-2016 23:15:52 [] Server listening on port 8080 ..
16-Dec-2016 23:18:05 [172.23.113.4] {Daily Request Log} LOGIN user "dmorrison" (attempt)

Thanks for the speedy fix.

FYI, our other Elog instances which are running ealrier versions do not exhibit this problem, as I confirmed that entering null ID/password returns "Invalid Username or password" as expected. This may be why it wasn't mentioned by anyone else before. Maybe something got inadvertently dropped in the newer version.
