The 9th field is the Unix timestamp of the notification, so it would
be trivial to compare that against a cut-off timestamp. Remember: The
logfiles are BB compatible, and BB used shell scripts for most of its
work. E.g.
Henrik, thanks for the example shell script in your previous message. I've already got that configured on my server and round one is over, which was simply to get the data into an area where a non-Tom can see it. ;)
I would still like to have a Hobbit option where our staff can search through the notification logs in the same way we can search the events.
As for modifying the bb-eventlog.c approach, I actually spent about an hour working on it and it appears that I would have to modify/create many other files to have full access to all of the notification data I'd need. To make a bb-notifylog cgi, I think I'd have to create code in hobbitd/lib/notification.c/h, add a chunk of html to hobbitd/web/event_form, create hobbitd/bb-notifylog.c, sh, sh.DIST, etc., and all of the necessary Makefile and menu_items.js changes. Unless I'm missing the obvious, it's not the most straightforward task.
