TS - daily,weekly,monthly reporting

I am having some difficulty understanding the running of the daily, weekly, monthly reports.

What do they show?

How do you run them other than from the 'reports' web page pull-down?

Where do you retrieve them - what URL or is it a spreadsheet for uploading?

I found multiple files in the web directory - not sure what I have.

Is there an executive view?

I built my own report that runs every morning M-F both a long report (with details) and a short report for the blackberry.

This is just a shell script I wrote using:

            BB=/home/xymon/server/bin/bb

BBDISP=127.0.0.1

COLORS="red,yellow,blue"

$BB $BBDISP "hobbitdboard color=$COLORS" to a Temp file

I then add a first field for sorting the data (red-1, yellow=2, blue=3, etc.)

I then check if the device has been ACKed or NOT and if it has been DISabled or NOT.

For the long report I show the hobbit-alerts.cfg entries for contacting the appropriate people, etc.

I also show how long the device has been down.

These report are used by the managers to make sure that a device that is in a problem status is taken care of ASAP.

They can also run the report at any time from the web pages and send it via Email.

For the Blackberry, I just show a compressed version like:

DEVICE WATCH LIST:

RD NA ND Printer007

BL D CA-625-1

BL D E_Substation_Meter

BL D PC_Remote_Access

BL D SMO-Main_Netgear

BL D msls01.csw.l-3com.com

BL D netsupport.csw.l-3com.com

BL D violin

Legend:

RD(red)=DOWN

YL(yellow)=WARNING

BL(blue)=DISABLED

A/NA = ACKnowledged or NOT ACKed

D/ND = Disabled or NOT Disabled

  For an example of the longer version:

  

        R E P O R T    O F    D E V I C E S    R E Q U I R I N G

A C T I O N

        VER=1.2            Tue Feb 16 04:00:03 MST 2010

color-list.sh

   Contact(s):

                        Alerts Line Numbers:  Start=2524  Stop=2525

blue disabled for CA-625-1 Since: Wed Feb 10 15:37:09 MST 2010

Contact(s):         (If no entry - No alerting is being done!)

    No one to alert (No entry in hobbit-alerts.cfg)

etc.

What is the best way to see an actual daily,weekly,monthly report output?

Thanks,
