1a. If you go to the "Find" form, you can add filters on several attribute. The URL of the result page can be bookmarked: this is your filter.

1b. If you define quick filters on FROM and TO, then you can enter filters on both.

2. If you start elogd with the -x option, then you can execute scripts in the "subst" and "subst on edit" commands. Within those shell scripts you can use $START TIME and $STOP TIME to calculate the attributes value. Look for the "Subst" command in the documentation.

I added a new optoin "Show last default = <days>", where one can pre-set the "Show last" drop-down box. I think this is a good idea, so now people can configure their elog to a certain default in this parameter. Of course all settings in the Find page are AND'ed together, so if one restricts the search to tha last week, but then looks for a date more in the past, the result will be zero by definition. The change is in the GIT repository. If you cannot recompile the code yourself, you have to wait for the next release.

This looks like exactly what I wanted, thanks!

I HAVE A LOGBOOK WHICH KEEPS THE RECORD OF ALL FAULT BOOKED BY DIFFERENT SUBSCRIBER.THIS LOGBOOK HAS THREE ATTRIBUTE DOWNTIME,UPTIME & TOTAL DURATION (DATE &TIME FORMAT) . I WANT TO CALCULATE THE TOTAL DURATION AUTOMATICALLY WHENEVR UPTIME VALUE IS GIVEN AND IF THE UPTIME IS NOT GIVEN IT SHOULD CALCULATE DEPENDING UPON THE SYSTEM PRESENT TIME.PLEAS EXPLAIN IT WITH EXAMPLE.

If my coding had been up to it, I would have done this and submitted...  thanks Stefan.

If you have the following elogd.cfg:

And the shell script /usr/local/elog/diff.sh is:

#!/bin/sh
s1=$(date -d "$1" +%s)
s2=$(date -d "$2" +%s)
d=$(echo "($s2-$s1)/3600"|bc -lq)
printf "%.0f hours" $d

Then DURATION is calculated from START and END in full hours.

It appears that if you define START and END as "datetime", then only the date part would be passed to the script. This may is a bug of elogd: Stefan, have you ever tried?

PS: Please do NOT write all capital text in a forum. Thank you!

I tried that It is not calculating  and it is giving the error "Shell execution not enabled via -x flag ".I started elogd -x from command prompt  it still gives the same error.
