Sequence number overflow bug in RWS
I believe elog sequence number is overflowing in Robot Web Services.
If you create a new virtual controller in Robotstudio using default settings and Robotware 6.13.02, then run the following Rapid code to fill the event log:
The message is visible in Robotstudio with the correct sequence number:

I can access all messages in elog domain 0 using the command:

Note the link is "/rw/elog/0/87", where I would expect "/rw/elog/0/65622". Also 65622 - (2^16 - 1) = 87.
The command
This is a problem for us, because in a production environment we need to use "/rw/elog/0" to index the error log messages, we won't have the prior knowledge that the message we need is at sequence number 65622.
If you create a new virtual controller in Robotstudio using default settings and Robotware 6.13.02, then run the following Rapid code to fill the event log:
MODULE reproduce_mod PROC reproduce() log_first_message; log_many_messages; log_final_message; Stop; ENDPROC PROC log_first_message() ErrWrite \I, "First message", "This is the first message"; ENDPROC PROC log_many_messages() FOR idx FROM 1 TO 65599 DO ErrWrite \I, "Message number " + ValToStr(idx), "This is message number:", \RL2:=ValToStr(idx); ENDFOR ENDPROC PROC log_final_message() ErrWrite \I, "Final message", "This is the final message, that can not be accessed"; ENDPROC ENDMODULE

curl --digest -u "Default User":robotics "http://localhost/rw/elog/0"which returns:

Hello Marcus,
Thanks for a thorough issue reportmarcus7070 said:I believe elog sequence number is overflowing in Robot Web Services.
Indeed, you are correct. This is a known issue and is being worked on by R&D.
At this time, there is no information regarding when the issue will be resolved.—Maxim RiabichevPC Software Support Engineer1
