Hi,

There's seems to be a memory leak with elogd.exe running windows.  I had this problem with older version of elogd.exe, i've just upgrade to the latest and the problems still exist. I've had this issue with earlier versions.  I've just upgrade elog to the latest 2.76 version. The memory leak still persist. I really appreciate if you or anyone here can help me resolve this issue.

Thank!

JH

I have two identical servers (IBM X337) setup on the same LAN with Ubuntu Linux 10.04 LTS with ELOGD running (Compiled from tarbell) with the same exact package install base. (Only difference between the two servers is the hostname, and the ELOGD.CFG global section)

I noticed after setting these servers up today that ELOGD crashed on the server configured to mirror. It looks like there may be a memory leak in the mirroring of ELOG.

  65993   Sun Oct 12 20:40:32 2008 Question Steve Nahnnahn@mit.eduQuestionLinux2.7.4-2111Maximum number of mail recipients

Just wondering if there is still a maximum number of mail recipients?  I saw  a number of 112 floating around in old forum entries, and I need more, like currently 300.  When I try it, the elogd hangs, not much output to speak of, but won't reply to Apache on its port.  Any quick fix (like changing a def'd variable somewhere?)

  69712   Mon Jan 8 11:06:49 2024 Entry Dr Marta Divallmarta.divall@epfl.chQuestionWindowsELOG V3.1.3-a38Maximum number of attributes

The maximum number or attributes is 100.

Is it possible to increase this?

Thanks!

  1565   Thu Dec 22 14:32:00 2005 Question Mikemlmoore@pella.comQuestion 2.6.0Maximum number of LogBooks? Bug?
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.
  67856   Wed Apr 8 11:40:27 2015 Angy Oliver Kleinauoliver.kleinau@it.niedersachsen.deQuestionLinux3.1Max Logbooks for Email notify

Hi,

we've got 109 logbooks in Elog. Whenever I set a notify for all logbooks in configuration menu it is limited to 73 entrys. After saving the changes the rest of the entrys are cut off.
I've already searched in the sourcecode if I can find some limitation for that but without success.

When I change the password file by hand, it is working as long as I don't change anything in the configuration that rewrites the file.

Regards,
Oliver

 

  65865   Sat May 3 14:59:14 2008 Question mike ciancimike2.cianci@comcast.netQuestionWindows Mass postings

I am setting this up as instrument log in a multi-hospital system, where there will be multiple instruments, in multiple departments, at multiple facilities.

I am using the "Top Group" function to keep the books separate so operators from one instrument/department/facility don't contaminate another instrument/department/facility's logbook.

What I am wondering is there someway to set it up so that a system wide manager could post a message to 5 individual logbooks for 5 identical instruments at 5 different locations all at once (one ELOG server)?

I hope this made sense.  Thank you for your help.

Hello

Sometimes it can come in handy to start a temporary elog service on the Windows platform. ( Maybe for testing purposes )

You can use the SC.exe utility to do that. If it is not on you're system you may download it from : ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/reskit/win2000/sc.zip

For this you can use the following procedure ( from the dos prompt ) :

 sc.exe create AIX-elog binPath= "\"c:\ELOG2.7.3\elogd.exe\" -D -c c:\ELOG2.7.3\security.cfg" DisPlayname= "AIX Elog Security" start= auto

If all went well the system answers :

 [SC] CreateService SUCCESS

Please notice the strange way the double quotes are used and the space after the = in the above command.

Now open the windows services ( from the prompt ) : services.msc

In the window that opens you will see the just created service with the DisPlayname you gave in the above command.

You see it is not started. You could click start, but there is an other way.

Now you can start the service from the prompt using the DisPlayname :

  net start "AIX elog security"

Press F5 ( refresh ) in the services window and you will see that the service is started.

Or stop the service :

  net stop "AIX elog security"

To remove the service ( from the registry ) :

   sc.exe delete AIX-elog

The system gives back :

  [SC] DeleteService SUCCESS

The other option is to start elogd.exe from the prompt :

  elogd.exe -c 

This is all for now
