ELOG Forum

Ok,

I noticed that the email notification got two copies of the attached files to elog post. It looks like the cause is
between elog and the mail server. When there is email notification, the attachement is sent along to the mail server and that's taking a long time and there are two copies of the attachment.

Hi,

I did more testing..if I suppress email notification, it is fast. There is something wrong there.

Indeed I can confirm that without email notification it's blazing fast. I haven't observed attachments being send twice. Though I got two indentical entries in the elog.

On my box I'm using sendmail. Until there is some fix in the way elog comunicates with mailer (if it is possible that is) could we have an option to suppress sending attachments in email notification?

Best Regards,
Konrad

Hi,

I am having the same problem with 2.6.4.1 and the latest version. It just hangs and taking a long time to upload multiple of 1.5 to 2 MB attachments...or just one few MB attachment. Hope that's a fix soon.

New ELOG version with HTML Editor

I'm pleased to announce the release of ELOG version 2.7.0 which contains the HTML editor FCKeditor. This allows the formatting of ELOG entries just as one is used from a word processor. I tried to make all functionality working as one is used from the ELCode system (like replies quote the original text in a yellow text box), but I'm not sure if I covered everything. So if you experience problems with the new editor, please report it and I will try to fix it. Anyhow it is always possible to switch back to the old ELCode encoding.

One warning for site administrators: Since it is possible to enter HTML code directly into a web page, one risks a XSS vulnerability. If someone knows how to protect the FCKeditor against submission of JavaScript, please let me know and I will add it. If this is an issue, you can turn off HTML encoding completely for public ELOG sites with allowed encoding = 3 in elogd.cfg.

Finally I would like to give credits to An Thai who proposed this editor.

Re: Email notification: "Use Email From = " always set to admin

My current syntax is:

; Email notification
Suppress Email to users = 0
Omit Email To = 1
Use Email Subject = $system: $subject
#Use Email From = Author Email
Email Report General = hn-cms-dataopslog@cern.ch, cms-dataops@fnal.gov

I had to comment out the 'Use Email From' option because all forwarded
entries to the CMS HyperNews or Fermilab ListServer appeared to originate
from me (alstone@fnal.gov), even though other users were logged in and
saving the entries to the logbook. After commenting out this line, the
entries were properly credited when forwarded, although the

There are two admins defined in the [global] section, and "alstone" is
not the first name in the "Admin user" list.

Is this a bug, or have I used this option incorrectly?

Documentation says:

If Use Email From is present, it is always used. If not, the email address of the currently logged in user is used for the "From:" field. If no user is logged in, or the current user has not specified a email address in the password database, the setting of the option Default Email From is used for the "From:" field. Only if this option is not specified, a generic address ELOG@<hostname> is used, which might be rejected by the SMTP server however.

So if you write

Use Email From = me@some.where

then of course all emails have "me@some.where" in the From: field. If you want the email of the people logged in, you either remove this option (since it's the default anyhow), or you write explicitly

Use Email From = $user_email

Re: Email Notification: Clarification on Attribute - can value be a string?

If you read

http://midas.psi.ch/elog/config.html#email

you will see the sentence:

If either the attribute or the value contains one or more blanks the string must be enclosed with quotation marks, as in:

* Email Type "Normal routine" = ...

so in your case you should write

Email Report "Shift Summary" = ...

Email Notification: Clarification on Attribute - can value be a string?

I encountered a rather insidious feature which had me scratching trying quite
a number of things over the past couple of weeks until I compared what two
different users were doing.

I had defined the attributes:

; attributes
Attributes = Author, System, Report, Subject
Required Attributes = Author, System, Report, Subject
Extendable Options = System, Report
Options System = Data Transfer, RelVal, Skimming, Reconstruction, CSA07, Global Running, T0 Operations, T1 Operations, DataOps, ProdAgent
#Options Report = General, Fix, Info, Job Report, Problem, Shift Summary, Test, Flummoxed
Options Report = General, Fix, Info, Job_Report, Problem, Shift_Summary, Test, Flummoxed
Thread display = $Subject, entered by $author for $system on $Entry time
Quick filter = Date, Report
Reverse sort = 1

and the Email Notification:

; email notification
Suppress Email to users = 0
Omit Email To = 1
Use Email Subject = $system: $subject
#Use Email From = Author Email
Email Report General = hn-cms-dataopslog@cern.ch, cms-dataops@fnal.gov
Email Report Fix = hn-cms-dataopslog@cern.ch, cms-dataops@fnal.gov
Email Report Info = hn-cms-dataopslog@cern.ch, cms-dataops@fnal.gov
#Email Report Job Report = hn-cms-dataopslog@cern.ch, cms-dataops@fnal.gov
Email Report Job_Report = hn-cms-dataopslog@cern.ch, cms-dataops@fnal.gov
Email Report Problem = hn-cms-dataopslog@cern.ch, cms-dataops@fnal.gov
#Email Report Shift Summary = hn-cms-dataopslog@cern.ch, cms-dataops@fnal.gov
Email Report Shift_Summary = hn-cms-dataopslog@cern.ch, cms-dataops@fnal.gov

I finally realized that logbook entries sent with a two-word Attribute value
(Shift Summary, Job Report) would not be forwarded to the CMS HyperNews
forum or Fermilab List Server. I incorrectly assumed that:

Email <attribute> <value> = <list>

an attribute could be a string.

Do I have to remove the spaces (replace with hyphens or underscores)?
