Insert images slow downs the ELOG, posted by Zbigniew Reszela on Wed Sep 9 11:41:23 2020

Dear all,
First, many thanks for creating and sharing this great tool which is ELOG! Our users are very happy with it!
I have few questions about inserting images into the entries. |

I found the most limiting factor of ELOG to be the file access. ELOG stores all entries in files and therefore has a lot of disk access.
We found that an AFS directory for ELOG is unusable. We tried to store our logbooks on NFS, and it was barely usable but slow. Now we use a local
disk on the server, that works fine. |

As far as I know, it is not possible, if you make a "new" entry.
You could configure the elog, to always PRESET an atribute, but then it is always the same, not the last.
I think the "duplicate" entry function could provide you partly with the functionality you want, as it copies all old values into a |

It is probably possible, but requires a big of a hack.
Whenever you save a new entry or edit an old one, you run a little shell script
to write the value of this field into a file.
Whenever you create a new entry you read the PRESET value with a shell script from that file.
Here
are the relevant excepts from the documentation: |

Using curl to post new entries, posted by Florian Feldbauer on Wed Sep 2 10:24:58 2020

Hey,
i'm trying to use curl to post new entries to our logbook as described here: https://elog.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/68597.
The Elog is installed via the Deban package on Buster. |

After going through the code of the Python API (https://github.com/paulscherrerinstitute/py_elog/blob/master/elog/logbook.py) I tried the following:

This is correct. The elogd daemon needs username and password in parameters "unm" and "upwd". The password must be SHA256 encoded,
so best is to grab it from the password file. This way one does not have to send clear text passwords over the network.

How to prevent file path leaks on a 404 page, posted by Rich Loring on Tue May 12 15:53:17 2020
|
Hello,
We used the Elog RPM binary installation method to install Elog. Our security scanners are complaining that Elog discloses the version information
when you hit a missing page (404 error). How can I hide this version info? Is there a snippet of code somewhere that I can comment out? |

Re: How to prevent file path leaks on a 404 page, posted by Stefan Ritt on Tue Aug 4 13:44:01 2020

I removed the version info from the 404 error, but you have to recompile elogd from sources. The fix will be included in the next RPM, but that can usually
take a few weeks.

A new RPM has been released at https://elog.psi.ch/elog/download/RPMS/elog-3.1.4-2.el7.x86_64.rpm containing that fix.

SSL does not work, posted by Hisataka YOSHIDA on Fri Jun 5 03:49:20 2020

Hello.
I installed the latest elog (3.1.4-2) in CentOS 7, and it is working well without SSL.
When I enalbled SSL option (SSL = 1) in the "elogd.cfg", and tried to start the elogd, the message below was shown and failed to run. |

Re: SSL does not work, posted by Stefan Ritt on Fri Jun 5 13:24:01 2020

When you compile elog from the soruces, you need the OpenSSL library to be installed. The CMake build process will then find it and include it in the
compile process. When you use the "make" build process, you have to make sure that SSL is enabled there:
USE_SSL = 1 |

Dear Stefan,
Thank you for your comment. I successfuly compiled the latest elog from source code, and now elogd could work with SSL.
In fact, I reported the case of installation with rpm file. Maybe, the latest elog rpm doesn't support SSL, I guess. |

Today I succeeded with the help of L.JR to produce a new RPM which contains SSL, KRB5, PAM and LDAP support. It's uploaded to https://elog.psi.ch/elog/download/RPMS/elog-3.1.4-2.el7.x86_64.rpm

This has nothing to do with the ELOG package, but only with your local configuration of that specific logbook.
You should contact your local ELOG administrator.
Or you might want to rephrase you question: do you want to have this text added in the text field when selecting the field specifier? |

It is described in the manual at https://elog.psi.ch/elog/config.html#general
Entries per page = <number>
Funnily the default is "20". I have no idea why you see 6 entries. |

Thank you, Andreas! Not sure why I kept overlooking it in the manual. As for the number of entries when I sort, I'm not sure. I'll
set it up to display a larger number and see what happens.
