Nope. How? Is it documented?

Hi Andreas,

I realize from your response that my question was not clear. I was not asking how to get it. Note that I am just a regular user, I am not the administrator of the service.

My question was about how to use it. From the man page, or from the explanation in the Administration Guide, it is not clear to me how to pass the same arguments I have been trying for /usr/bin/elog. For example, how to pass the list of attributes. I don't see a "-a" option for elogd. 

Thanks.

It is the default. If you install ELOG on your PC and run it, then every access will be directly to the ELOG web service. If you want to have Apache inbetween, it is some extra effort.

Hi Andreas. 

It seems I didn't fully understand the comment by Stefan when he said "Have you tried to connect directly to elogd and not going through Apache?". My bad.

Now you've totally lost me.

elogd is a web service. You connect to it with a web browser. You don't pass arguments at startup of the service that refers to specific atrributes. I have no idea what you intend to do, you need to explain a lot more.

icon7.gif   Changing Entry Time, posted by Jay Johnstone on Mon Jul 27 01:39:18 2009 

Hi,

I am new to eLog, trying to make a logbook tool.  This is probably a question with a simple answer, but here it is...  I need to be able to edit the entry time for an entry as it is being made and also in Edit mode later.  We have field staff who use a paper log in the field and then come back to the computer later and create the log entries, and they need to be time stamped to reflect when an event happened, not when the entry is put into the log.

I'm guessing I'm missing something easy in my Config file, I've looked through the config examples and searched the forum but I couldn't come up with an example of how to make this work.

Thanks in advance!

Jay

Hi Jay,

the entry time cannot be changed, because it should reflect the real time when the entry was made. What you can do in your case is to define a "datetime" attribute, which contains then the time stamp. You need something like this:

Attributes = Author, Field time, Subject

Type Field time = datetime

... 

 Hi, Stefan,

Thanks for the quick reply, I've added that to my config and it does what we need.

Cheers, Jay

icon13.gif   Kerberos auth not available on 3.0 ?, posted by Maikolk Kein on Mon Jan 26 10:30:40 2015 

Hi all !!!

 

i have just updated and 2.9.2-1 elog instance, and i have problems with the kerberos configuration.

I was surprised to see on the logs, that the 3.0 daemon was refusing to start because the system

config has kerberos listed as an authentication method. I saw on the logs that the current daemon

didnt have kerberos support compiled in.

 

Ive seen that there is ldap support, but couldnt find anything about configuring this auth sytem, does

amnyone have any example i could check ?

 

Did i have to use a patched version ? or compile it on my own ?

 

 

Regards

No no, i used the rpm form the website... I was thinking on having the bianries compiled, im downloading the server install dvd

to replicate the environment and have the same functionality.

 

Thanks for the answer ;-)

 

Regards

Hi Maikolk,
I have elogd 3.0 running with kerberos: I had no problems with that.
Maybe you forgot to change the Makefile before compiling?
Uncomment line 28 to:

# flag for Kerberos support, please turn on if you need Kerberos
USE_KRB5   = 1

and then "make clean" and "make install" (or "make update").

Regards, Andreas

icon5.gif   Audit Trail?, posted by Javier A. Ortiz on Fri Jan 18 13:57:31 2008 

First thanks for the great software! My only question would be how to implement audit trail feature. I know you can control who edits and that's great but in regulated environments like mine there's a requirement that the original record, the one edited, is not deleted or overwritten. If not possible right now the only thing I could think of is a mechanism, maybe possible thru configuration, that when the record is edited it is copied to an audit trail logbook (i.e. if logbook name is 'test' it's audit logbook will be named 'test-audit' which is read only) and have a link to the audit trail of the record (show only changes of the current record).

 

I'm more than aware that it's possible thru configuration but I'm short on that dept. Any help/idea?

 

Thanks in advance!
