I'm running ELOG since several years with rather heavy usage.
Last week I've upgrades from 3.0.0 to 3.1.0 and this week I had twice the same problem:
elogd lost the index for old entries and showed empty logbooks, without having restarted.
The logbooks appeared to be empty; new entries started with index "1".
The first time the origin of the problem were network troubles;
the second time it had been caused by a severe problem of our AFS file system service.
I never experienced this consequence for ELOG in the past when we had AFS problems.

Since the logbooks are used for the operation log of a user facility they continued to do new entries.
The next day I had to re-number the new entries and restart elogd and everything was fine.

I could understand if elogd crashes when the filesystem of the logbook goes away.
And when it restarts with an (temporarily) empty filesystem, that would explain what happened.
But it did not restart and the log file does not contain any information about any problem, 
just that suddenly all new entries in each logbook started with ID "1" again.

Stefan, any idea?
Anyone else ever experienced that with the new ELOG version (or older ones)?

Good day,

I'm new to Elog and I find it really nice and straight foward...

I still have a few questions that I couldn't address reading the manuals.

-I'm creating a logbook with a lot of attributes. I would like to know if there is a way to name (display) my attribute differently then it's original name. That way I could program $attrib1; $attrib2, etc, and map a name to display the column accordingly... Is it something possible ? 

-Is it possible to hide the field "Entry Time" when creating or editing an entry ?

-I saw the Cell Style fonction to set Color (really nice...), My attribute1 is a worker name; Attribute2 is how the work is going on (stop, ready, in process) I would like to hide Atribute2 in list mode but change Attribute1 cell color based on Attribute2 status... is it possible to do so?

-When using "Show Text = 0" (i'm only using attributes), creating a new entry present the menu "Submit", "Save", "Preview" and "Back".... Pressing "Save" leaves the page, shows "OK with a number" and "Preview" is useless. Is it possible to tune what button should be present or not ? I would like to remove Save and Preview....

Thanks alot for your help :)

Hi again,
Hope I'm not draining to much time from you guys !

here is the scenario (fake one just to understand the logic..):
My main logbook as a Option attribute Called "Electrician availables" 
My second logbook is a list of workers and there capacities Moptions : "Electrician", "Plumber", "Genius"

So my question is:

Is it possible to load my main logbook attribute "Electrician availables" Options based on all the "Electrician" found under my second logbook ?

Thanks :)

Greetings,

  Running elog 3.1.0 on CentOS 6.6.  When I try to access a nonexistent file, elog reveals a path in the 404 page.  For example:

Not Found

The requested file /usr/local/elog/themes/default/blortblortblort7854.htm was not found on this server

Title says all :)

Is it possible to preload Options or Moptions from a text file or CSV instead of being load from the elogd.conf ?

Thanks :)

Hello,

I am using the RSS feed feature of Elog (V2.9.0-2396). I have a couple of attributes of type "datetime" (Start Time and Stop Time). I don't have a "Time Format" statement, so just using the default format. I am passing the Start Time and Stop Time attributes to the RSS Title with $Start Time and $Stop Time, but when looking at the RSS title in IE11 browser, I only see the date and not the time. Is there any way I can see the time as well?

Additional info:

I'm also passing the creation time of the Elog with $entry time and this is displaying correctly (both date and time).

Please let me know if I am doing something incorrectly?

Thanks

Hey,

I want to submit an entry to elog remotley using the "elog" command. For example:

elog -h elog-server-adress -l EO -a Fill=111

But this does not generate a new entry. Instead the terminal jumps to an empty new line and the command does not respond to any further inputs anymore (CTRL+C to get out). I have to add a message:

elog -h elog-server-adress -l EO -a Fill=111 "test"

also using an empty string does not work:

elog -h elog-server-adress -l EO -a Fill=111 ""

I could add a whitespace as a work-around, but I'm not sure if this is a bug or a feature.

To put this in some context: I want to create entries for certain measurements automatically, where all relevant parameters are already attribute fields. In the usual case the actual message will be empty but might be used if the operator wants to add a note after the meausrement has been done.

I have to import a csv with a date field, which represents the creation date

this date should be used as "date" timestamp which is set automatically, otherwise all entries get the current datetime as timestamp
