[hobbit] [Hobbit/Xymon] PDF Reports

[Thomas Séglard]

Hi,

I forgot to describe what these reports looked... Sorry, I failed.

First, you have to know that these reports need a bunch of new files to 
be installed (mainly php and shell scripts).

Then, you have two kind of reports : simple and complex.

The "simple" ones are made of three pages and are about 150k-200k. On 
the first page, you'll find a title, a date, name of server, company 
logo. On the second and third page you will find 6 RRD graphes. These 
graphes are the most important, in my opinion, to understand if a server 
is in good health or not... So, the graphes are : cpu load, memory use, 
network use, cpu use, i/o wait and run-queue length. Of course, you can 
change and add yours if you want. Also, you can select if you want to 
display a daily/weekly/bi-weekly/monthly/annualy report of your server.

The "complex" reports, are exactly the same as the simple but you can 
drop some lines beneath the graphes. It could be nice if you have to 
explain the behaviour of your server to a non-techie person (i.e, 
management). These reports are bigger (~500k) and are 5 pages long.

By the way, I will take any advices and comments. I can send to you 
reports sample for those who cares.
Sincerly,

ThomaS
