I appreciate your posting of the JavaScript. However, I have no idea what
to do with it. The page appears to be generated by some elog daemon. I do
not know how to hook into that.

We have multiple LCDs at a console, and usually one is dedicated to displaying a browser
with the local ELog. Meanwhile, others are making entries from another machine. If
no one clicks on refresh, the ELog display becomes stale. Is there a method to have
the ELog reload every X minutes?

Thanks, Alan

We followed the simple download instructions. Our existing logbook entries
are still visible. Nothing was lost or touched in our /usr/local/elog directory.
Is there some step we missed?

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?

  65635   Thu Oct 25 23:55:28 2007 Entry Alan Stonealstone@fnal.govRequestLinux2.6.5-1844Email 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)?

One of my shifters just managed to make an anonymous logbook entry even though the Author attribute is required.

It turns out that he had two tabs in his browser opened/logged into the Elog.  He logged out in one tab only.   Then he

did some other work on the desktop.  Then he returned to the browser to make a new logbook entry, finding the tab which

still showed the logged in menu, including the link for "New".  The Shifer is on day two, so he did not give any special

notice to seeing Anonymous in the Author field instead of his name.  He did point it out when I came in, and noted that

no warning was given about making an anonymous entry.

 

I tested the same scenario myself.  One cannot preview an anonymous entry (when Author field is a required attribute).

A warning is given.  However, one can submit the anonymous entry, and no warning is given.

  65961   Thu Sep 4 20:49:59 2008 Idea Alan Stonealstone@fnal.govRequestLinuxV2.7.1-200Search Find Selected or List of Logbooks instead of all Logbooks.

I am using the CMS ELog remotely as a monitoring tool.  Information is compartementalized into dozens of containers.  I can create a find query URL, say last day, which then reloads every X minutes in Firefox.  When new ELog entries are made, then appear in the refresh and catch my attention.  But, my interests are somewhere between a single logbook and all logbooks.  If I choose all CMS logbooks for example for one day, I usually end up with > 200 entries. 

In short, I would like the ability to:

1) Select from the list of available logbooks when doing a search

2) Have more canned choices from smaller time frames, such as 1 hour or at least one shift (8 hours).

I do not see how to do this in the current elogd.cfg syntax instructions.

Thanks, Alan
