  68973   Thu May 16 01:13:31 2019 Question Lesley Herrenlherren@lhs.orgQuestionWindows2.9.2Windows Server 2012 - moving logs

We are installing a new data center which will be based on Windows 2012 servers.  Our current center is on Windows 2008 and will be decommissioned this year - 2008 servers (because of the security issue) will not be allowed in the new data center.  So game plan is to install latest ELOG (3.1.2) on the 2012 server at the new data center and move the logs over from the 2008 server.  I've looked through entries and do not see anything about moving the logs over from one system to another.  In this case there are 2 concerns:

1.  Has anyone moved the log entries from one system over to another?

2.  Since we are also looking at updating version of ELOG - are there conversion steps necessary for the log entries or will v3.1.2 be able to use the log files from v2.9.2 as is?

Thank you, Lesley

Thank you Stefan - it will take a couple of months to set up (many servers being built at the new farm).  I will update you on the success of the files converting automatically.

Just stop the server. Move your elog directory to the new server (including elogd.cfg, logbook directories, ...). Then check that the elogd.cfg needs modifications, like the URL which might have changed, then start the new server. V2.9.2 did have an old data format, which *should* be converted automatically. But first try it out before deleting the old server.

Hi everybody,

I am trying to setup my personal ELog, defining attributes and stuff like that. I just tried to make some nested commands but I really could not achieve that. 

The idea is something like this:

Attributes = Author

Options Author = Tizio{1}, Caio{2}, Sempronio{3}

{1} Attributes = Author, Project

{1} Options Project = Proj1{a}, Proj2{b}, Proj3{c}

{a} Attributes = Author, Project, Year

{a} Options Year = 2017, 2019

Anyway, when I select Proj1 nothing really happens. So, is there any way to set up nested commands like in the reported example?

Many thanks in advance!

P.S. Is there any documentation in which are reported all the possible commands that can be used?

Good morning,

I would like to ask you whether it is feasible to establish a logbook that limits access to entries, enabling each user to view only their own.
Although creating a logbook per user is an apparent solution, it does not meet my requirements.

Thank you in advance.

Leonardo

We're running Elog 3.1.2 om SL 7.2 and keep getting random crashes, sometimes when no one is accessing a logbook. The following is from /var/log/messages with debugging turned on after the latest crash.

Nothing odd in the logbooks, no real activity happening at the time of any crash. Crashes after any amount of time from 1 hour to 24 hours, with littleAny clues?

  68995   Wed Aug 7 02:57:55 2019 Question Lechsubs@lwp.emailQuestionLinux3.1.3tags

Hello,

Is it possible to create tags for new entries in elog? I understand it would have to be some kind of mix between Extendable options and moptions. Currently, whatever is entered in extendable options forms one option, while usually for tags, words separated by # form different tags. As usual with tags, I would like to add multiple tags to my new entry and then be able to filter all entries by specific tag or group of tags.

  69006   Tue Aug 20 09:47:06 2019 Question Lechsubs@lwp.emailQuestionLinux3.1.3Drag and drop does not work in 3.1.3?

Hello,

I can paste images into text (which resulted in the text_size too long error message), however, I can't drop them on my elog. However, I can do it on the demo version. Was the drag and drop into text already supported in version 3.1.3 and I am just missing some configuration option, or do I need to find a repository with a more recent version of elog?

Thanks!
