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. I was asked a related question. For our SLA, I need the "Availability Report" in a printable version. And only a subset of the checks (ping is the most important). The layout can be simple, only the numbers is a start.
Of course, it it looks pretty (not just a bunch a of % but some pie charts or graphs), that's a surplus. It would also be great if I can exclude the maintenance windows out of the calculations.
