Report to file

[Gluntzmaster]

Hi Guys,

I'm running version 1.2.2. I had been putting off upgrading from 0.8.8 for way too long. Installation on Debian 10 using apt-get is the proverbial breeze.
On my 088 installation I used Nectar for sending reports to my own e-mail. But e-mail itself isn't easy, tricky to secure correctly and on the whole a pain in the behind.

User story:
As a user I'd like to be able to configure
- output to PDF in a regular interval
- with a dynamic file naming based on selectable prefix (like YYYY-MM-DD-Sequence#, or similar)

My configuration would be much less complicated, and the dependency on mail service providers would cease to exist.
I could have Cacti store the file on a location that might be an alias to a cloud location.
That would be equivalent to e-mail, but much simpler to understand, and thus simpler to maintain and secure.

Thanks for considering,
Leo

This will be implemented in Cacti 1.3 for the Reportit/Nectar part:

Thanks for your reply.
The reporting function in the current version covers my need. I am getting my graphs sent by e-mail just fine.

Kind regards,

Leo

@phalek just so you know
The URL in your tag (https://www.urban-software.com/products ... for-cacti/ ) that links to the cereusplugin yields a 404
