I understood you correctly. What I was trying to say is that what you currently request possible with the current version and will not be implemented soon. But you can partly obtain what you want by having two logbooks. Make one logbook which has fewer attributes, and which will receive all SunOS entries. Make another one with all the attributes. Although this will become separate logooks, you can "think" of them as one logbook with two different sections. There is even the trick of forcing the data directory to be the same (via the "data dir") option, so both logbooks will "look" at the same database. Make one logbook the "master" having all the attributes. That's where you enter your information. Them make one or more logbooks looking at the same data, but make them read-only. Each logbook can have a separate set of attributes, access rights etc, but all of them show the same data.

I know this is not the perfect solution, but at least something which can be done already now.


Thank you so much. We'll try it. Waiting for your next version.

Please advise on how to set up selective email notification on logbooks; We want to send an email to specific people when an event that involves them is entered? 

At the moment, we currently get an email entry for every new logbook entry. Thanks

Stefan, I am not an expert in this field so I wondered how one goes about finding someone to write this and how one amends the soruce code? Is that allowed?  Is it a feature than may be of use for other users? Julian

Unfortunately elog cannot do calculations based on certain fields. You could however add some Javascript code (via "Bottom text = ..." for example), which does that. But that requires JavaScript knowledge to do so.

Thanks Andreas, I will read that section. Julian

Hi Julian,
there is a whole chapter in the documentation about that: https://midas.psi.ch/elog/config.html#email
If I have to send email, e.g. for Controls issues entered in the operation logbook, I do send the email to a specific mailman mailing list for that group.
It is cumbersome to manage email groups in the logbook configuration - in particular if the same lists exists in different logbooks. I only refer to the mailing list then in ELOG, and the groups can manage their lists themself.
I do maintain about 30 logbooks and there are about 10 groups at my institutes that desire email notifications for ELOG entries related to the systems they manage.
Cheers
Andreas

I am trying to use the "Execute new|edit|delete" feature to track changes to an elog using git.

When a new entry is created a shell script should be executed (certain attributes of the logbook entry should be passed as arguments to it). The script will then automatically stage all changes and create an appropriate git commit message. For a "new" entry in the logbook the commit message is a bit more verbose. When editing or deleting a message only a short commit message like "Edit message 25" should be created. Therefore I really need to distinguish between "new", "edit", and "delete".

However, I experienced unreproducible behavior when creating "new" entries. Sometimes the command specified by "Execute new=" is called, sometimes the one specified by "Execute edit=" is executed. Most of the time it doesn't work as expected. Frown

What I did so far to understand what goes wrong is I looked into elogd.c and found in
void submit_elog(LOGBOOK * lbs)
that bedit is sometimes true and sometimes false, when creating a new entry, although it should be false then (right?).
This is why elogd then sometimes retrieves the wrong shell command from getcfg(lbs->name, "Execute edit"...) instead of getcfg(lbs->name, "Execute new"...) around line 23610 (not exact due to some eprintf()s inserted here and there to look at bedit and so on).

When deleting an entry, everything works fine: the shell command defined via "Execute delete=" is run, but this happens somewhere else in the code so it's not a surprise.

Do you have an idea how to fix this or can you point me in some direction to further track it down? Thank you!

I'm just guessing, but you could try to disable the "save drafts" feature and see if the behaviour changes:
Save drafts = 0

If that is the case then Stefan will know where to look Wink

Alright, I tried "Save drafts = 0" in the config file and now it seems to work all the time as expected!
Thank you, Andreas!

In principle I could live with this as I don't think I need to have drafts enabled.

Cheers,
Jürgen
