Stefan,

Thank you that is exactly what I needed to know.

Deleting a logbook in the config page (via "Delete this logbook") only removes the logbook defiition from the config file. To really erase all information you have to go to the file system and delete the whole directory belonging to that logbook. You have one subdirectory per year, containing all logobok entries and also attachments, so make sure you do a recursiver directory removal.

Hello,

Has anyone implemented an email gateway for ELOG, allowing users to submit entries by sending an email?  Granted this should be possible using the elog client binary, but I thought I'd see if I've overlooked any examples or docs first.

Thanks!

icon5.gif   Merge duplicate types, posted by John Mund on Fri May 6 16:19:10 2016 

Hello,

We have accumulated some duplicate 'types' in one of our logbooks.  Is it possible to merge them?

Thanks,

John

I'm not sure I understand your question correctly.

If you want to remove options from an extendable option attribute, then you can just edit the logbook configuration file.

icon5.gif   elog client binary with webserver authentication, posted by Devin Bougie on Wed May 11 02:59:53 2016 
Is it possible to submit entries using the elog client binary when the server is configured with webserver authentication (when the server requires the X-Forwarded-User header)?  One option would be if the server could support both webserver and kerberos (or even file) authentication, but neither 
"Authentication = Webserver, Kerberos" nor "Authentication = Webserver, File" seem to work.

In addition to using the elog binary to talk to the elog server directly, we've unsuccessfully tried using curl to post data to the apache server url (URL in elogd.cfg).  We can read entries using curl, but haven't yet been able to submit entries.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,
Devin
icon5.gif   elog service crashes frequently, posted by Stan Turner on Sun May 22 04:05:12 2016 

We have always had issues with eLOG crashing intermittently...  I upgraded from Server 2003 to Server 2008 about a year ago to try to reduce the issues...  which really didn't help.

The service now seems to crash every week...  (getting worse)...  Is anyone seeing these issues in Windows servers?  Any suggestions??

We do run ELOG on a Linux server and see about weekly crashes, too. It seems to be connected to the authentication process (Kerberos, File), but we could not nail it down yet.

But we have set up a supervision process that checks every minute if the "elogd" process is still running. If not, it simply restarts it.

If ELOG is down for two minutes a week, this is fine for our users.
