icon5.gif   Query a log file, posted by Hal Proctor on Tue Sep 3 22:35:00 2013 

Does anyone have a method to query the log file?  I wish to automate a summary report based on a defined timeframe (8hr shift) and deliver a report to the owners/managers of the logbook. 

maybe even generate the summary report as an HTML entery within the logbook, encapsulating the enteries queried with the hyperlinks intact to the entries in question.

Anyone have something like this? Hate to recreate the wheel. I will share if I come up with something

Is it a time zone issue or a setting issue related to the FIND by date / time issue?

It seems to add an hour to each of the time selections once you select SEARCH. see attached pics

 One hour adrift at this time of the year sounds like daylight saving.  Or compensation thereof.  What is your computer clock set to (not what time the clock reads)?

Personally I think it rather naughty that [at least older] Windoze automatically sets the clock one hour forward the first reboot after the spring switch forward, and the same in the autumn back.  What if you'd already done it, like all the rest of the clocks in the house?

 

 

But it shouldn't use a calculation of any means when the search criteria is entered. I did not choose "LAST DAY", I specifically entered a time, and THAT time should be used for the search.

Hi guys,

we configured a kdc server using OPENLDAP as backend. We installed on it elog and configured the Kerberos Authentication on one logbook as follows:

Authentication = Kerberos, File
Kerberos Realm = TEST.COM
Password file = ./pwd.xml

 
Detect language » Italian
 

 

Even if the kinit comand is retrieving correctly a ticket for the user tsearch@TEST.COM(we see it using klist and tcpdump on lo interface), elogd kerberos authentication is not working.

We tried using tcpdump for troubleshooting but no traffic is generated on the loopback interface.

Did someone solve this problem or do you have an idea on how to make the kerberos authentication working?

Thanks

 I have asked for same help, and no one has answered with a solution on implementing a kerberos .  I saw exactly what you were seeing. (did you try fully qualifying the domain within the username field for logon?  \\TEST.COM\username)

I still couldn't get it to work

Why all the > Characters?  Maybe back off the version as stated in above link?  Not sure about the date issue.

Our network team is doing some upgrades and would like the following questions answered if possible. 1: Is the application able to communicate with a Domain controller running Windows Server 2012 R2? And.... 2: Is the application able to function in a Windows 2008 R2 domain and forest functional level? Thanks for your help, Hal
icon5.gif   Report Generating Tool?, posted by Hal Goldfarb on Mon May 21 09:41:57 2018 

Has anyone developed a report tool for elog?  I would like to be able to sort certain items and send them to either a printer, or an email (external to my own use).

If not, any ideas on an easy means of doing this?  I write a lot of Perl, so that would be an option for me if the text is easily obtained.

Thanks

I don't see an "export" option in the documentation, only "import."  Printing the web page is probably not what I want.

Switch to the "summary" display (try it with this forum). You get headers (like "category"). Clicking on it sorts by that attribute. Then display "all" entries, or use the "find" option to search in certain time periods, then just print the web page.

Alternatively, expeort logbook entries as CSV files, load them into a spreadsheet program, and do the sorting and printing there.

icon5.gif   large attachment seems to hang elogd?, posted by Haitao Yu on Tue Mar 7 21:41:28 2006 
Hello,

I am trying to attach somewhat large file (4-15MB files tested) with my messages but it seems to hang the elogd server for a really long time (30-100minutes). The file upload was done pretty soon (within a few seconds), then the elogd process seems to be busy doing something, using around 50MB of memory and 95% of CPU time, and stop respond to the requests. I can read the logbook with another copy of elogd running on another port, and I can see (and download) the uploaded file. I am wondering what could cause the problem --- and could it be related to the problem of not setting up the SMTP server right? Thanks for any suggestion!

Haitao

P.S. I read in some old message that if we want to upload very large files, we have to change the WEB_BUFFER_SIZE in elogd.c, however this parameter is no longer in v2.6.1. Is there something similiar I have to change?
