Adjustment of summary columns, posted by Mariia Fedkevych on Fri Dec 17 11:54:38 2021

Hi!
Is it possible to manage the column widths on a logbook's summary page one by one? |
Re: Adjustment of summary columns, posted by Stefan Ritt on Fri Dec 17 12:11:22 2021

You can manually modify the CSS style to adjust column widths. Locate elog.css which resides under elog/themes/default/elog.css, then find the class
“.listtitle”, and modify the line
width: 0%; |

Hi,
Ten years later...this problem shows up in my installation behind Apache, affecting only drop-down menu searches. Test installations with
elog serving itself do not show the problem, so I presume it has something to do with Apache configuration, re-routing, etc. Unfortunately, this |

If you need HTTPS then you must specify the "-s" option.
You could have looked into the help of the elog command:

If you use HTTPS, you have to connect to port 443 of your server, using the "-p" option.
Furthermore, you run under an Apache server, right? How do you do the redirecting to elogd? I guess you specified a subdir in the URL named /LogBook
to redirect to elogd. The you use another part of the URL to select the logbook, which again might be "LogBook". Is that correct? So your full |

Not really. The full URL in the browser is https://elog-1.matrix.com/LogBook. That's why I am trying with "-h elog-1.matrix.com -l LogBook"
I have just tried with -p, here is the full output:

I don't see anything in httpd logs.
I am just reusing an entry I created via web, so the attributes are correct. Nothing is missing, correct spelling, etc. I keep trying.
BTW, I have just realized that the output of "elog -h" does not "man log", which is the one I have been using so far. |

But this is real progress! Now elog successfully connected, and all your data was transmitted, but elogd refused your content.
A possible explanation is that one required attribute of this logbook was not provided in your elog command, or that one value of an
attribute does not match any allowed value for that attribute. |

Re: Unclear how to use the command line tool /usr/bin/elog, posted by Stefan Ritt on Wed Dec 8 10:59:58 2021

Ok, you Apache listes on two ports. On port 80 with HTTP and on port 443 with HTTPS. If you connect to port 80, there is no fowarding to elogd, that's
why Apach complains
The requested URL /LogBook/ was not found on this server. |

That reply indicates that the login was not successful. So something went wrong with the authentication. You can try to switch off passwords to see if
that makes a difference.

It is the default. If you install ELOG on your PC and run it, then every access will be directly to the ELOG web service. If you want to have Apache
inbetween, it is some extra effort.

Hi Andreas,
I realize from your response that my question was not clear. I was not asking how to get it. Note that I am just a regular user, I am not the
administrator of the service. |

Now you've totally lost me.
elogd is a web service. You connect to it with a web browser. You don't pass arguments at startup of the service that refers to specific
atrributes. I have no idea what you intend to do, you need to explain a lot more. |

Apache?". My bad. |

Logfile not registering entry numbers?, posted by Sergio Navarrete on Fri Oct 19 08:38:06 2018
|
I have configured a logbook with the logfile on, but when a user replies to an entry the line logged goes
Date Time [User@IP] {Logbook} NEW entry #0
How can I make the #0 be the real entry number for the reply? |
|
Re: Logfile not registering entry numbers?, posted by Andreas Luedeke on Fri Oct 19 13:08:30 2018
|
It looks like you've found a bug in ELOG. I've checked my elog.log and see that all NEW entry lines show "#0".
I've looked into the code: the message is written before the new entry is submitted, and only then the entry ID is defined.
For
new entries one would need to make the logging print line later - but that would blow up the code.
The message IDs are correct for saving |

Re: Logfile not registering entry numbers?, posted by David Pilgram on Mon Oct 29 14:26:28 2018

As a regular elog (ab)user, I have seen this behaviour from time to time. So far as I recall, the cause actually is that a normal entry is looking
for the entry in the "Reply to" field of the normal entry in the yymmdda.log file. When that entry does not exist, then I see a duplicate
line of an entry with entry "#0", in emboldened black type. I did have a screenshot, but cannot find it for now. |

Re: Logfile not registering entry numbers?, posted by Stefan Ritt on Wed Apr 1 15:57:27 2020

I finally found some time to fix that bug. Was just that the log file hat #0, the bug should not have had any ohter side effects. Now the logfile is
fine.

Log4j exploit, posted by Alan Grant on Tue Dec 14 19:16:57 2021

Is there any potential impact/concern with the Log4j exploit in Elog applications?
|
|
Re: Log4j exploit, posted by Stefan Ritt on Tue Dec 14 21:55:16 2021

ELog does not use the Log4j library so no issue there. If you run a web server like Apache in front of ELog, you however have to check if you use log4j
there.

Dump screenshot to new elog entry, posted by Anthony J Krishock on Sun Dec 12 01:18:46 2021

Hello,
I am interested in finding a preferrably single-click way to capture a screenshot and posting it automatically to a new elog entry . I would
be doing this from Windows. Is this possible? |

Re: Dump screenshot to new elog entry, posted by Andreas Luedeke on Sun Dec 12 08:12:57 2021

I am no Windows expert. An option is to write your own application and use the "elog" command to post the output of the application to your
ELOG.
There is as well a python library to access ELOG via http: https://github.com/paulscherrerinstitute/py_elog |
$attribute replacement fails occasionally, posted by Chris Körner on Sat Nov 27 21:48:41 2021

Hi,
In our setup we have multiple logbooks. I want a convenient way to search all logbooks for an attribute (in our case with the name Sample-ID)
by just clicking it in the list display of any logbook.Therefore, in the [global] section I put "List Change Sample-ID = <a href="https://ourelog.com/$logbook/?all=1&Sample-ID=$Sample-ID"</a>. |

Re: $attribute replacement fails occasionally, posted by Chris Körner on Sat Dec 4 13:03:32 2021

This problen drives me crazy. Under some circumstances the List Change <attribute> function does not replace $attribute. It happens at random circumstances
when I use the Find function to search all logbooks. In the resulting list, it fails reproducibly for certain entries of certain logbooks. But I cannot
find what is special about those lokbooks or entries. In different Find requests it works perfectly fine. |
