Your usage of "Top group" is strange. Top groups should only be used for independent groups of logbooks, more like you were running one dedicated sever fore 
a group of logbooks. Further, you defined logbooks (2008, 2009, ...) which do not exist in your config. Why don't you just remove the "Top group" line from your 
config? If you want to group different logbooks, just use the "group" command as written in the docs.

  67513   Tue May 28 09:16:18 2013 Question Razvan Gorneagornea@zoho.comQuestionLinux2.9.2-2455Elog command line problem

I'm trying to use the command line to post automatically entries from a web based calendar. I run elogd behind SSL with user/pass configuration. I created an account for the calendar and used the following command line.

[gornea@lheppc63 ~]
$ elog -v -s -a Subject=Test -a Type=Notice -a Category=Planning -h svn.lhep.unibe.ch -p 443 -l "LHEP EXO General" -u calendar ******** "SORRY for SPAMMING! Testing automated posts from command line"

It seems like all parameters are OK but for some reason the connection gets closed. Anybody has an idea why? The SSL certificate is not valid and on the web page users have first to accept it. Can this explain the problem? Is there a flag for elog command line to instruct it to ignore SSL warnings? Thanks a lot!

  67515   Wed May 29 08:38:04 2013 Question UlfOulf.olsson@dynamate.seQuestionWindows2.9.2-2455Filter and sorting

Hi,

We have a fire preventive team at our company doing periodic inspections of our various corporate buildings.

If they find a deviation they want to register this somewhere.

So I thought E-log would be nice to use in this case.

The way the fire preventive team inspection works is building by building.

All the buildings has numbers.

So they want to be able to select a buildingnumber in E-log and filter on open,ongoing and closed records when they do their inspections.

And they also wants the filtering to stay on that choosen buildingnumber  despite if they delete or add new entries.

I know that you can have a default startview in E-log but this view is static.

Is it possible to do this in E-log?

Hi Scott,

yes, every user can export entries using the "find" command.
Just select the export format in the first line

Export to:  

 
Detect language » English
 
 
Detect language » English
 
 
Detect language » English
 
 
Detect language » English
 
 
Detect language » English
 

I often use the XML Format, but CSV is fine if you just want to import the entries to some spreadsheet program.

I was shocked to find out that this feature has not yet made it into the documentation?!? But it is that simple to use that there is not much to document.

There is even an "Import" command, to reimport entries from a file. But this is tricky to use: if you have fields of type date or datetime, then you have to convert those fields in the proper format.

I tried EXPORTING logbooks as .csv but have not been fully successful.  Elog seems to only export the data entered for various fields with the exception of the text field.

Here is an example export from my logbook (used to track simulator problems), I would like to also export the TEXT field so it can be used by my managers in excel...but as you can see there is no entry for "TEXT" fields...

Thanks in advance!

  67521   Mon Jun 3 15:44:46 2013 Entry Martin Rongenmartin.rongen@rwth-aachen.deQuestionLinux2.9.2Daemonizing vs. shell execution

Hi all

I have setup an logbook that executes a number of shell scripts to preset attributes and append standart information, which works great. Now I am trying to daemonise the whole thing. I have tried the -D option as well as daemontools. In both cases the logbook itself is functional but the bash scripts do not get executed.

Any ideas how I can resolve this problem?

Martin

Usually the problem comes from the fact that a daemon runs from the root directory ('/') by definition. I might not find your scripts if they are not in the path. Try to call them explicitly with the ful path like "/usr/local/elog/script.sh".
