Ok, good to know. That was my first thought.  Going to have to make an update
to that page to identify that issue.

I had already added the "Level" column a long time ago, but never updated that
script on the website. I just uploaded a new one now that includes some minor
changes to the one that was there.

Yes, that will work.  If you d/l the new script, you will see that I added a
"Level" column to the JOBHEADER var and column #6 to the data var.

I have this script running on 8 Bacula servers and I never bothered adding the
Job type (column 5 I think) since 99.99% of the jobs I see are "backup" jobs
and didn't think it was important. :)

Adding it to your status page should take you 20 seconds now that you have it
working.

Good luck!
