A couple feature requests I have for ReportIT would be.

1. When configuring the timeframe in the report configuration, have the ability to specify configuratble "business hours", block of time i.e 06:00 - 18:00 mon thru fri.

2. Ability to report the raw data for each data collection within the specified period of time.

Thanks again for your wonderful plug-in.

- Tom

I've fool around with this but not enough to know it completly, so forgive me for listing something that this already does.

Ability to do under thresholds (Duration, and value below threshold)

Ability to do math with/against other DS's (Find difference of average bandwidth, duration two DS's are > or < a threshold/variable, etc..)

I beleive someone mentioned this already, it would be lots of work, but I'll list here anyways; Ability to do if functions (If value > variable, do not display, etc...)

These are just ideas. I deal with other products such as UPS's, and RSSI, Wireless stats, etc... So I have slightly different uses for some functions.
I like your product, it does quite well. Thank you for your time to produce it.

Not bad, Tom. I'll discuss with Reinhard about it.

Sounds like the functionality of the dataquery plugin.

Hi,
that's possible with the current version. Not easy but possible. To give you an impression I've added an example.
BTW I've found a bug in the calculation module. But an error only occurs if there are more two or more measurands whose calculation formula contains different functions with parameters.

Mmmh .... tricky. I'll think about it.

Maybe I'm thinking to far outside the box, but what if I want to use reportit and don't have thold installed and/or don't use thold?

Post by **gandalf** » Tue Jul 17, 2007 4:02 pm

AFAIK, reportit is not related in any kind to THOLD. I suppose, the use of the word "Threshold" was misleading you in this context.
Reportit allows for defining a (static) "variable", in this case named "threshold". This value can be used in reportit calculations, that's all

I like your example for the DUT and DOT. I see, since it's percentage... That will work for me..
Thanks for the example, keep up the good work!

Hello!

I need to export data about PDSN CDMA sessions, I have a lot of these graphs but I cant select them to export.....

Can it be done?? how??

Appreciate any help!

Post by **browniebraun** » Wed Jul 18, 2007 10:31 am

If you want to export the result of a report instead of raw data you should ensure that this functionality has been enabled under "Settings->Reports->Export Settings".
In the latter case you should take a look at the dataquery plugin.

Is it possible to add another measurand for LAST(current/latest) collection. On many of my collections I like to report (Current/Average/Maximum) data.

Current measurands

f_min => returns the lowest value
f_avg => returns the average (sum/number of values)
f_sum => returns the sum of all values (value_1 + value_2 + value_3 ....)
f_num => returns the number of values

New

f_last => returns the last value

Hi Tom!
Yes, I can put into the next minor release. What about anything like f_first?

Best regards

PS: It'll take some time until I can publish the next release. Today we got our new couch and I haven't finished the reconstruction and renovation of our living room ( A new "roof panel" with 60 sqm and a suspended ceiling of 36 sqm)

Hey browniebraun
First good job on the plugin, look very nice from what i can say.

I've had some difficulty find the correct usage of the plugin. After reading the forum and some testing i can some nice reports

But what can be useful is a little (or big) manual to help new users (like me) in this process.
I've seen you made a powerpoint in the past, but it's not downloadable anymore (and maybe not so usefull because of version 0.2)

Thanks in advance,
KyRoo

Greetings,

Since i cannot figure out if it is already possible (mostly due to lack of time), here are a couple of ideas that would be great to see in this plugin.

- Ability to select several Data Templates with similar data to calculate (For example i use different data templates to report Windows/Linux/Unix Memory Utilization but they all get me similar info)
- Ability to put filters in the report (for example Top20)

Will post more if i remember.

Thanks in advance.
Regards.

Hi again!
Yes, I had to remove it after I reached the maximum of 3 MB

. Federic published it again, but you're also right in saying that it isn't so usefull. This presentation will not explain how to set up a report template and that's exactly the point where most people begin to struggle.
I'll try to better myself.

Best regards
