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.

At the time of coding, I've used 'libfpdf' but it's a pain to include PNG with alpha-channel. I'm now in charge of a new platform and I setup Hobbit to monitor everything, of course :) Besides, I discovered the library 'tcpdf' which is very good and efficient. So, I decided to bring back my reports and have them to work with 'tcpdf'. Modifications were easy since 'tcpdf' is based on 'libfpdf' and now everything works again :) But this time, I really want to share this work with you on the Shire or whatever. I need to know if some of you are interested by these reports... Thus, just let me know. Best regards, ThomaSYes, yes!! Could you describe what kind of reports you are generating?
