Re: columm widths in daily mail report
* Keith Higgs [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Thu, Jan 30, 2003 at 03:53:44PM -0500) I have to agree. While the package names escape me at the moment there are already lots of toys for converting text files to other formats, including HTML. A few years ago I wqrote the attched perl script, simply feed the output of getamstatus through it and redirect the output to a webpage. It's a quick and dirty hack, and will liekly need some tweaking to get it to work in your environment, but it does the trick for me ;) Kind regards, -- Gerhard den Hollander Phone :+31-10.280.1515 Global IT Support manager Direct:+31-10.280.1539 Jason Geosystems BV Fax :+31-10.280.1511 (When calling please note: we are in GMT+1) [EMAIL PROTECTED] POBox 1573 visit us at http://www.jasongeo.com 3000 BN Rotterdam JASON...#1 in Reservoir CharacterizationThe Netherlands This e-mail and any attachment is/are intended solely for the named addressee(s) and may contain information that is confidential and privileged.

columm widths in daily mail report
I have run into this question before, and I remember getting an answer on it, but unfortunately, I can't find the answer :-(, so i;m afraid I have to ask again. I've got a situation where some of the fields reported in the daily mail report, are bigger that there is space for. I need to know how to make these columns wider. Thanks. -- They that would give up essential liberty for temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. -- Benjamin Franklin
Re: columm widths in daily mail report
Here's what's in my amanda.conf to adjust the column widths. YMMV. columnspec OutKB=1:7,Compress=1:6,DumpTime=1:7,DumpRate=1:6,TapeRate=1:6

Much of the data (statistics) smush the 'time' into the KB/s field; my mail-client will accept *much* longer lines (although the stock width is probably an excellent default). -Gord -- Gordon Pritchard, P.Eng. | Institute of Electrical and Research Labs Manager| Electronics Engineers Simon Fraser University, Surrey | Quarter Century Wireless Ass'n [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Telephone Pioneers of America phone: 604.586.6186

HTML formatted reports probably fall into the desired category. That said, web-based Amanda reports could be useful for those who would rather check a central web site than read yet another piece of mail. My first order of business in the day is to open a central console that fires off to MRTG graphs, big brother reports, a call database, etc. Amanda could be another one of those. But I'm not certain that this needs to be a part of Amanda either. Anyone could write up a quick perl script to take amreport -f and html-ize it. Stick that in your backup script and be done. I keep thinking there must be an obvious way to integrate Amanda reports with Big Brother somehow...

A good reason to have HTML reports is features, not prettyness. Use the hypertext part of HTML. For example, error messages could be links to doc that explains in detail what the error means, and how to fix it. -- Tom Schutter (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) Platte River Associates, Inc.
