availibility report in pdf
list Stef Coene
Hi, Just wondering, has anyone a script/program/idea for a availability report in pdf? The generated availibility report from the hobbit site is nice, but I need to have (at least my boss want it) a pdf report of some selected tests (pings and netwerk tests). He wants it in pdf so he can print it and take use it on the SLA follow-up meetings where stuff like availibility and helpdesk reponse times are evaluated. He was also concerned about maintenance windows. If an error occured during the maintance window, it should be flagged or reported separated. A perfect report would be a pie chart or even simple numbers with colors per your / month / week of some selected tests. And this in a pdf that my boss (watch out, very important) can generate easily from the hobbit website. I can script it myself (based on the pdf report generator discussed before), but I don't want to reinvent the whele. Stef

If we want to enhance the report formats, I like to suggest generating excel format with graph (not just csv). Not sure about php but perl has good excel modules can do this data conversion. tj

Hi Stef, every boss wants that :) Indeed, I'm looking how to do such report... I don't know actually how to generate and get figures out from the availability report. When I'll got those informations, it would be easy to add them into the existing pdf reports. In addition, you should even draw pie chart automatically ! All I need to know is how to extract these figures from Xymon... Best regards, ThomaS

Hi Stef, there are excellent conversion tools to convert from ps and eps documents into pdf or anything you like. Also the ps libraries are stable software contrary to the pdf software. The presentation ( *odp *.ppt ) form would be preferred to the document form. This could all be solved by a Open Office plugin or a macro. The iterface would be the URI of the generated html report. -- Kindest Regards, Anna Jonna Ármannsdóttir, %& A: Because people read from top to bottom.

Generate an availability report in CSV format. This has all the information in the web-reports, and should be fine as the basis for whatever Excel programming your PHB's can come up with. Regards, Henrik

Hi, is it possible to generate such csv with the command-line ? I'm looking at "bbgen --reportopts" option but I'm not sure to understand everything ! If you can provide me some help here it would be great :) Sincerly, ThomaS

Is it possible to do this from the command line ? I was thinking about generate the script from command line and process it with perl to generate the report I need. Stef
list Thomas Séglard
Yes, I get it !! Here is what I did : "bbgen --reportopts=1226790000:1226962799:1:crit --csv=mycsv.csv" and this generates a good csv file. Now, I can parse it the way I like. I just want to ask if this is a good way to use the bbgen command ?
