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.

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
