 | Andreas Luedeke | andreas.luedeke@psi.ch | Question | Windows | 3.1.2 | Re: Create past Elog entry. | David answered the question already.
I would distinguish if this is a once-in-a-year event, where you are willing to edit the logfiles as an administrator to fix it -
or if it happens more weekly, and you want to enable the users to fix it themself.
If it happens once a year and you don't mind to do it yourself: write a little self "how-to" and do it like David suggested.
If it happens more frequent and you prefer your users to fix it themself: introduce a "when" attribute as described in elog:67712
Cheers, Andreas
PS: Changing entry IDs $@MID@$ is only for people who know exactly what they are doing. You need to change all references to the IDs as well (Reply to: attributes) and all cross references (like the one elog:67712).

Hello, Sorry if this has been addressed elsewhere, but I could not find info.
I am wanting to submit a new elog entry (that should have been) for a past date, to predate log entrys currently in my system.
I assume I must manually create a new .log file. What ID# should I assign to this entry? Should I sub-increment (i.e 33.1)? I presume the correct think to to would be to automate ID# increments in all sucessive logs with a script (python).
Please advise.
Thank you,
-Michael Hibbard

Hi Michael,
Elog purists, look away now.
There is an "official" way to do this, which is to have fields for entry date (so can be in the past), but the yymmdda.log file will be of the date and time you make the entry. This is in the offical documentation.
If you are not bothered by the ID number being out of sequence (and elog does not really mind, although it occasionally throws a hissy fit/throws its toys out of the pram, which a restart sorts out), but you are one who wants the date of the entry in the log file to also be in the past, skipping the entry date fields issue, it's perfectly do-able. So long as you can access the yymmdda.log files.
What I, and some others, do is to create a new entry now (for ease, the first entry of the day, but that's not critical), then go to the log files, and with an editor open today's file, find the entry, and edit the day, date and if necessary time; I always set the time as post 22:00, as code for an edited late entry. I also then cut-and-paste the entry into the log file for the day it should have been entered in (creating it if necessary, in linux make sure the permissions are correct, specifically the user).
If you have attachments, and want those also to reflect the date, you'll need to edit the Attachments section of the elog entry headers (format is obvious), and also rename the attachment files in the directory.
I've not tried an ID number being other than an integer, I guess it would not work. ID numbers not being in sequence with the date doesn't seem to matter. Messing with ID numbers can have a number of consequences, such as elog running away, burning CPU time etc (looking for a previous entry that does not exist), or rogue listings of a entry ID no./# 0 (looking for a later entry that does not exist).
One caveat; I use Linux, and on elog 2.9.2. Later elogs and Windows may have a different reaction to what I've written above.
Elog purists can now look again.

 | Michael Hibbard | michael.hibbard@cern.ch | Bug report | Windows | 3.1.2/3.1.3 | "Drop attachments here..." only functional in IE | Hello, the "drop attachments here..." feature is very useful, especially when I have multiple files. I can drag them all over in one operation, however I have noticed that this feature only works well in the IE browser.
It does not work reliably in Safari/Chrome/Firefox. I have tired in both 3.1.3 and 3.1.2. I also have the same symptom on the Demo log book of this site.
Please advise. Thank you for the continued development of Elog.

MUST be set in the [global] section of your configuration - it will likely not work when you try to set it for a specific logbook.
I don't see how ELOG can send an automatic email after a date expired.
But you could set-up a script that checks for expired entries, and if there are any it'll send out an email. You can use any http connection to do the query using the find command (e.g. curl).
To get the right URL, just make the find from the web form and copy the URL that gives you the desired result.
Hope that helps.
Andreas

 | Tom Roberts | tom.roberts@iit.edu | Bug report | Windows | latest | elogd service crashes after windows update | We have been using elog on Windows 10 for a long time. Today, after a Windows update, the elogd service started crashing (error 1067, unexpected termination). It ran fine just before the Windows update (which took > 1 hour, so it was a major one). Uninstalling and re-installing did not help, including replacing my elogd.cfg with the default. Installing on another PC (that also has this update) fails in the same way. I have a good backup of my logbook.
Any suggestions? |
