Hi there,

our host running ELOG crashed. I installed ELOG at another host with copying backup files / folders to new installation. New installation looks fine and seems to be working. But one big problem occurs I only can see some of former existing logbooks. Are there any suggestions how to build an new ELOG with old data?

Many thanks Mario

Hi,

We've recently implemented the Copy To function and it works as advertised. The issue we're having is the original entry time is also copied, so if we take an old log and copy it to another log book the entry using reverse sort, preserve = 0 may not display as the newest id. It will receive the next message id, but not display in the correct order on the page. Is there an option or parameter that will force Copy To create a new entry time, so the message id will appear in the correct order?

Thanks,
Mike

Using the elog client to upload atachments, I can successfully send attachments to an existing elog, however the existing attachments are lost.

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

elog -h localhost -p 8080 -l test -f  file1.png -f file2.png -e 249 -v -x

This works great, the text contained in the elog post is retained, however all attachments are lost and replaced with those sent by this command.

Can anyone provide some tips? I am not sure if its a problem with the client or server.

Thank you in advance!

Joseph

Hey,

if you define a Tooltip at the moment it is only displayed on the attribute. I would like it very much if it would also be displayed on the values (on the right column in the detailed view and on the whole column in the list view), since we are using the tooltips to define the units of the attribute and it would be nice to pop up when you hover a value.

As for the comment it would be nice to have a flag to also show the comment on the detailed view while looking at an entry. At the moment it is only showed when creating a new entry. Again we use this field to define the units.

This is an example of how we use these options:

attributes = Fill Number, Beam Current, Beam Energy, Beam Lifetime, RF Voltage S2, RF Voltage S4, RF Frequency, Synchrotron Frequency

Comment Beam Current = in mA
Comment Beam Energy = in GeV
Comment Beam Lifetime = in hh:mm
Comment RF Voltage S2 = in kV
Comment RF Voltage S4 = in kV
Comment RF Frequency = in MHz
Comment Synchrotron Frequency = in kHz

Tooltip Beam Current = in mA
Tooltip Beam Energy = in GeV
Tooltip Beam Lifetime = in hh:mm
Tooltip RF Voltage S2 = in kV
Tooltip RF Voltage S4 = in kV
Tooltip RF Frequency = in MHz
Tooltip Synchrotron Frequency = in kHz

Hi ELOG Community,

Please help me to configure my smtp server in Windows using gmail server

This is what in my config:

SMTP host = smtp.gmail.com

SMTP username = raymund.dawang@engagis.com (company email subscribing in gmail)
SMTP Password = xxxxxxx
 

And I was prompted by this error in ELOG: Error sending Email via <i>"smtp.gmail.com"</i>: 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first. ir5sm11631778pbc.13 - gsmtp

Apprecite you help. Thanks.

I was just playing around with gcc6's new feature for warning about misleading indentation (which can often hide real bugs) and I think it found one in elog-3.1.1-1 at src/elogd.c:22538. Here there is an if statement, which looks as though it should be inside a loop, but it isn't. The code is:

src/elogd.c: In function ‘execute_shell’:
src/elogd.c:22538:10: warning: statement is indented as if it were guarded by... [-Wmisleading-indentation]
          if (att_file[i][0] && strlen(shell_cmd) + strlen(lbs->data_dir) + strlen(subdir) + strlen(att_file[i])
          ^~
src/elogd.c:22536:7: note: ...this ‘for’ clause, but it is not
       for (i = 0; i < MAX_ATTACHMENTS; i++)
       ^~~

I currently have an Attribute defined in my .cfg file as  "Format <Attribute> = 0, attribname, attribvalue, 120, 500". I've found if I exceed 255 characters elogd.exe fails. Is there a method that will allow me to exceed 255 characters?

I'm running ELOG on a seperate Windows Servers.

When I try to synchronize the logbooks using "elogd -m", I get an "Error sending local entry: Error transmitting message"

If I click on the "Synchronize" link in the logbook, it can correctly send entry to remote ELOG.

Can anyone tell me why I get this error?

==============================

Here is the command & output:

c:\Program Files (x86)\ELOG>elogd -m
