 | Edmundo T Rodriguez | edrodrig@chpnet.org | Request | | 2.6.0 | "Syntax of elogd.cfg" - Document | The document "ELOG - Syntax of elogd.cfg" is outdated!
Are we going to have an updated documented?
How much difference exists between the one posted as a reference
and new one covering all new options in ELOG? |

When searching for a particular event in our shift log using the "Find" function, it would often be useful not to go to the single entry, but to the page where that entry resides. This way we can see the whole context of the event. When clicking onto an entry in the "Find" result page, this takes us of course to the single entry, but could you add a function to go to the page instead. Alternatively, is it possible to include a button "Go to page" in the single entry view (it need not even be exactly +/-N entries around, the usual page partition would do)? |
I implemented that request. When you click on "list", it takes you to the listing page containing the current entry, which is even highlighted. Have a look at this forum if this is what you like. |

 | Mike | mlmoore@pella.com | Question | | 2.6.0 | Re: Maximum number of LogBooks? Bug? |
| Stefan Ritt wrote: |
You're really pushing to the limit
The maximum number of logbooks is indeed 120. If you have too many logbooks, they are also hard to handle (too many check boxes in the config page etc.). What if you make not one logbook per server, but have a single logbook and use the server as an attribute, like
Attributes = ..., Server, ...
Options Server = Server1, Server2, ...
Now you can ask: How many options are possible for an attribute, and the answer is 100, which is even less than the number of logbooks. But you can make three logbooks, each covering 100 servers, and that covers your 294 servers. |
Thanks for the quick reply and suggestion. I will give that a try.
You might want to consider adding a check that there aren't over 120 logbooks. I manually created the elog.cfg with 294 logbooks. Everything works, except for running into this problem.
Thanks again |

| Mike wrote: | Is there a Maximum number logbooks?
I have run into a problem but I'm not sure if to call it a Bug or not. We have started using Elog to keep a work log for each of our production servers. After a short trial I put generated a config file using groups for all of our servers which is 294 logbooks. Almost every thing works except the config screen. You get a list of all the logbooks with the checkboxes for the email notifications. If you click save (Doesn't make a difference if you make changes or not) you get the following.
Error: Too many parameters (> 120). Cannot perform operation.
I was able to recompile using cygwin under windows after changing MAX_PARAM from 120 to 400. That fixes the problem, but eventually you get a stack overflow.
Any suggestions? I have considered separate instances running 100 logbooks each but I would like to have a global search.
Thanks for a Great tool. I've been using it as a personal log for sometime and was finally able to convince my team we sould use it. |

I usually keep http://midas.psi.ch/elog/config.html up-to-date, but I agree that it's a bit hard to find the additions there, that's why there is the change log
The ELCode is described on a separate page, which can also be accessed by clicking on the ELCode link below the text box of the logbook entry page. |

I have downloaded the Tar from svn and am having some errors, but then I've go VS.Net 2003. I wondering if this was done with 6.0? |
Right now I'm using VS.Net 2003, but you should be able to compile it with 6.0, except that you have to redo the project file, which might not be backwards compatible. An alternative is to use gcc under cygwin, which is a free alternative for windows. |
