Hi,

I have an eLog logbook installed on my machine.

If I click on the INSERT TIMESTAMP botton in this post a Timestamp of the kind "Wed Jul 29 23:09:15 2015" is added.

When I do the same (with the same browser) on my logbook, nothing is added. Ideas about what might be causing this?

Regards

Luca

Dear all,

I am trying to have the elog timestamp in UTC time instead of local time using the following config file but without success. Do you know what I am doing wrong?

Thanks

Luca

Dear Steve,

thanks a lot. Sorry but I am not expert of elog. I "inherited" from a colleague and wanted to see if I can keep it alive but to do it I would need to move to UTC. Should this command affect the "INSERT CURRENT TIME/DATE" button? It does not seem to change.

Best

Luca

Any suggestion?

Hi,

I started re-using after a month an elog on my linux machine and, without any apparent reason since I did not used the machine at all in the last month, every time I try to submit a post I get the following error

"No SMTP host defined in [global] section of configuration file".

The weird thing is that today I created a new logbook using the previous one as a template and, on the new one, I can post without problem (although the configuration is identical).

Do you know what could be causing this?

Hi,

I am trying to enter a log record in secure mode into a log book hosted on an apache server (v2.7.2).

After reading this forum I have recompiled  the client using revision 2100 (well actually the head of svn).

But entering the record still does not work.

This is what I get

[atlt0dev@voatlas04]~% elog -v -s  -h prod-grid-logger.cern.ch -p 443 -u myuser -w mypassword -d elog -l "ATLAS+Tier0+Operations+Logbook" -a Subject=foobar

<<<<

the man pages seem to be out of sync and anyway mention two passwords to be usable, so they are not very helpful/clear

 if somebody could tell me the right combination of options

and/or confirm/deny that this combination of client and server can work at all

I would be very grateful.

many thanks,

Luc

 Hello,

Can anyone please send me, or publicly provide, working Ubuntu 10.10 binaries (64-bit) for ELOG?

I have compiled and installed the program. While the core functionalities are OK, I have run into irritating bugs in filtering and config editing that are not present in the online demo (but are in my local demo and logbook).

Hence I suspect compilation to be the cause.

For the curious:

• Saving the config within ELOG scrambles the elog.conf file

Hmm actually that last bug is also present in the demo. Any hope of fixing that?

True, some posts may not match the filters, leaving replies "orphan". I suggest that any orphan reply be either attached to the nearest upper level, or if not possible, be styled as a post instead of a reply (no arrow or indent) so as not to mistake it for a reply to the message above.

The benefit would be to be able to follow threads matching certain categories.
