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



Thomas,

Yes it is definitely your earlier version.

I am not attempting to run the reports on a Windows box, rather run them against data collected from Windows boxes.  That is when I run into the issue of missing graphs, and the reports error.  I do not recall which graph(s) causes the problem, but it is one where Unix/Linux provides data, but Windows does not.  Perhaps I can test and shoot you a direct email?

Dave

Hi Dave,

maybe you tried the version I released last year ? I could send you the
new version if you want.

The first issue is true if any graphes are missing. I will probably add
checks to force display of reports even with no graphes on it. For the
french texts, I know this is a big issue thus I've translated (nearly)
everything in english. Sorry, to have not do that before :(

All my scripts were written in shell, thus they won't run on windows
natively. Indeed, these shell scripts will generate five PNG files from
the RRD collected by the Hobbit/Xymon server. I'm using the rrdtool
command line to achieve this task. Maybe someone knows how to do that
under Windows operating system.

Thanks for your feedback.

ThomaS

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.
