 I wrote to scripts to backup the logbook files:

  • elog_backup_daily creates a tar file of all new entries of the last 25 hours and keeps these backups for 90 days
  • elog_backup_hourly creates a tar file of the entries of the last 65 minutes and keeks these backups for one week
  • exclude-logbooks specifies which files not to backup

This allows you at least to recover deleted entries by hand as an administrator.

I'm sure this topic has been visited previously, but a search of this forum didn't show any results.

Is there are support or already proven method of encrypting the logfiles that Elog serves up? 

There is no native support for encryption inside ELOG, but you can use some external tool to achieve encryption. You can for example use TrueCrypt to mount a virtual encrypted drive, where you store your log files.

 Hi Stefan,

I'd like to request a feature: automatic alphabetization of the items in the Quick Filter menus.

We track quite a few detector assemblies, which are produced with non-sequential designations. It would be useful if the Quick Filter list was automatically sorted alphabetically to make it more convenient for folks to find a particular item.

I know people can always search by designation but it would be handy to have this alpha sorting feature. Would it be possible to include that in a future release?

Thanks again for a *very* useful logging system!

Dennis

The order of items in a Quick Filter menu is exactly as in the configuration file. Like if you have items

Options Type = C, D, A, B

they are shown like that in the quick filter menu. If you want to sort them, just do the sorting yourself in the configuration file like

Options Type = A, B, C, D

I have not implemented automatic sorting since some people want a different order, like some main topics at top. So by following the order from the configuration file, everybody can be satisfied just by chaning the order in the config file.

 Yes, I have been manually sorting and resorting. We have extendable attributes and the list keeps growing so I have to resort every so often. I thought perhaps a simple alphanumeric sort as an option would be popular with most users so I thought I'd ask for it. It would really simplify things for me. Users who want to sort manually could do so by disabling the option. It never hurts to ask!

Ok, I implemented

Sort attribute options = 1

in the current SVN revision.

 I've tried adding this statement to my cfg file but the attributes are still unsorted in the QuickFilter menus. Was this implemented in 2.7.7?

Shouldn't an existing configuration file entry like
Options Type = C, D, A, B
be sorted in the QuickFilter menu as A B C D?

You need revision 2252 or later. So you have to upgrade to 2.7.8.
