Dirk, Configuration reporting is a big issue for us:
-Are all our alerts set up correctly? -Are checks, timeouts and security settings accurate across servers? -What checks exist for a specific server? -What alerts does John Smith get via email? -What servers have a ping check? -etc.... All of these could be on demand, we don't need them to be scheduled. -Tom -----Original Message----- From: Servers Alive Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dirk Sent: Friday, August 29, 2008 5:51 AM To: Servers Alive Discussion List Subject: [SA-list] Servers Alive and reporting One of the often returning question on Servers Alive is if it can do reporting. We always point to the HTML template based output and to the DB logging (using a 3rd party report writer). Still it seems that this is not what people are looking for. That's why we would like you to help us with some brainstorming around that reporting feature. I'll start by giving my own idea on it. * it's based on the HTML template based output * it can be set to be executed (generated) once a day and you can select what "entries" go on it * you can ofcourse have several output's and for several sets of entries * additional parameters are needed like % up cycles % down cycles % maintenance cycles and this per DAY, WEEK, MONTH, YEAR with "easy" access to the current (day/week/...) and the previous (day/week/...) and also access to other days/weeks/months/year. Example: <sa_stats_up_week{pervious}%> gives the up% of the previous week <sa_stats_up_week082008%> gives the up% of week 8 of 2008 <sa_stats_down_month082008%> gives the up% of month 8 of 2008 All ideas/comments/additions are MORE THEN WELCOME Dirk Bulinckx.
