Hi,

I'd like to add users to phpLogCon but can't find a way to do it without directly modifying the MySQL table.

When I originally installed phpLogCon, the install.php allowed me to create one user account (for me), but now I'd like to create more, is there a way to do this without directly modifying the MySQL table? if so, please explain how.

Thanks.

Michael.

• Custom phpLogCon configuration?
• Maintenance Contract?
• Installation support?

Hi Michael,

Unfortunately there exist no "Add User" feature currently. I will add this to the todo list.

Any ideas how long this will take to implement?

Thanks.

Hi Michael,

Sorry for my delayed reply. There are other things around here with higher priority. Due to a workaround exist

we have not scheduled this task yet. Maybe we will integrate this if we have to fix other parts of phplogcon. But to be honest - and as already written - modifying phplogcon is currently not planned.

Hi all

If you beginn to work on this (add user feature), maybe in the future, think also of crypting the password in the DB.

If this still hapen and i overlook't this in the documentation, let me knwo how i can do this.

"Users" is actually more profiles in the current implementation. I would not rely on it from a secruity point of view...

Yeah, I just created the users I needed to directly in the database.

Considering the distribution of rsyslog is much wider these days (and will only increase over time) I believe enhancements to phpLogCon (or another tool which can do what phpLogCon does) will eventually need to be made, whether that be by the current developers of phpLogCon or patches / enhancements contributed by others.

At the moment the people that use phpLogCon on my environment complain that it's slow to read entries and difficult to filter for values. It's all that's out there so they live with it, but over time I would hope improvements can be made.

Michael.
