RE: [hobbit] [Hobbit/Xymon] PDF Reports

Thomas,

I think I actually implemented your reports and found them to be a great idea.  At the time I ran into two problems, but did not have the time to dedicate to resolving.  My first issue was the reports would not run if any piece of data was missing.  Second, the text was in French.  The second part was almost easily overcome thanks to GOOGLE and lots of cutting and pasting.

I would be interested in trying this out again.  I would like to see if the reporting could be "expanded".  The error I ran into with missing data was due in part to the reports only looking at data collect from Unix/Linux clients.  The majority of my monitored systems are Windows boxes.

Dave

Subject: [hobbit] [Hobbit/Xymon] PDF Reports

Hello,

some months (year ?) ago, I wrote a few php/shell code lines to generate
on-demand/automatised PDF reports with the help of the RRD data produced
by Hobbit. 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,

ThomaS
