Report plugin ''ReportIt" - v0.7.5a (released 23/12/11)

[m00tpoint]

Thanks very much for your work on this!

I have created a simple report, starting from the example in your 0.61 .pdf, to show monthly business hours bandwidth utilization for all of my employer's locations around the world. All sites are configured to use data from 0800 to 1700 Monday-Friday.

My question: Does the 0800 refer to GMT, to local time on the Cacti server, or to the local timezone of the site? And if it's number 3, how does it figure out what the time offset is?

Thanks,
m00t

To answer my own question, at least my report is using local server time. So, how could one create a report that would adjust the hours of the data items in the report to reflect the time zone of each site?

The links for the column headings don't show up for me. They are white until I hover over them.

Fixed. Please take a look at the SVN as long as 0.7.3 has not been released.

Cool. Thanks

Is this the right place for the latest svn build? Latest alpha build 0.8?

Code: Select all

https://cacti-reportit.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/cacti-reportit

When I try to upgrade from 0.7.2 to latest svn 0.8.0 I get a blank page when going back to cacti when the plugin is enabled. I disabled and uninstalled the 0.7.2 version from the plugin management console and tried to re-install the new 0.8 from svn however, as I said, I just get a blank page in cacti after that.

Also, how do I get the pretty pie charts in the reports as seen in the screenshots on the website? I'm pretty sure I got all the php-gd, etc... that would enable this.

Nope.
As cacti developer I moved everything to the official Cacti SVN. You can find ReportIt 0.7.3 here: http://svn.cacti.net/viewvc/reportit/branch/0.7.x/?root=Plugins.
ReportIt 0.8.0 will only be developed for Cacti 0.8.8.

In general a Cacti server should always use GMT/UTC as local time zone. Otherwise you will have nice effects when DST comes into play.
If you would like to use the time zone feature of ReportIt then you have to ensure that your server's time zone is UTC.

I can't checkout with svn from that URL. error ..... svn is not properly uri-encoded.

I see pie charts in the screenshots for reportit. How do I configure for those? I have the pre-requisites but can't find any docs on creating the pie charts. Are they not available in this version (0.7.2) or what's the story?

PS: Re: svn checkout

Code: Select all

svn co svn://svn.cacti.net/cacti_plugins/reportit/branch/0.7.x
svn: Can't connect to host 'svn.cacti.net': Connection timed out

I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I checked out successfully from the other (wrong) repository. I can hit svn.cacti.net in a web browser. I think the svn port is maybe blocked at my work by the fw.

Any way you can change it so that it can be checked out via http(s) as well so that everyone who wants can get it?

Graphs are disabled per default. Go to "Console"->"Configuration"->"Settings"->"Reports" and scroll down to the bottom.
After that open a report and you will see a little bar chart icon in the right upper corner.

Mmm... The SVN link works for me. However, I will send you a pm with the latest version.

Thanks you very much. I appreciate that.

Excellent, I'm glad there is a time zone feature. I've found it and am experiementing now. Thanks again for all your work on this plugin!

Thank You,

hello

if I click run report, not auto schedule to create report, the email function will work?

thanks

[browniebraun]

Hi!

Ensure that email support is enabled under "Console->Settings->Reports".
After that enable email support for your specific report configuration. (click on the "Administration" tab)
