Scheduled Reports

Post by fork.dentures »

On the scheduled reports, we aren't looking to publish this server to the internet, but I noted that when I emailed a report, it just emails a link back the main server. Is there a mechanism by which a report can be generated in .pdf or html form and emailed? What I would like to be able to do is automatically generate reports to our customers without them having to login to the nagios server.

Only the "Executive Summary" report in not available in the pdf format, yet however you can do the following:

Click on the "Schedule Page" icon (the "clock" icon on the blue bar - upper right corner), enter the info, and click on "Save".

Otherwise, with the rest of the reports, you can just click on "Schedule This Report" icon. See the image below:

Hope this helps.

Don't want to hijack someone's post, but I followed your instructions and this error is in the email:

Code: Select all

ERROR: /usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf is not installed - page rendering failed
Should that have installed as a pre-req or do we need to install that manually?

That's awesome. Are there any plans to make the executive summary report available in a PDF like the others?

BanditBBS,

I am not sure why it didn't install... The wkhtml is in "/tmp/nagiosxi/subcomponents/". Try installing it:

Code: Select all

cd /tmp/nagiosxi/subcomponents/wkhtml
./install

Someone already added the feature request and I am following the post myself. http://tracker.nagios.com/view.php?id=304

You should follow it as well, more customers wanting something the faster they will work on it :)

@BanditBBS - Somehow this component installation got missed by our upgrade scripts, so the freshly installed systems have it, while upgraded installs won't have it until 1.1 (hopefully releasing tomorrow).

You can manually install this subcomponent from the current tarball by downloading, extracting, then run:

Code: Select all

cd /tmp/nagiosxi/subcomponents/wkhtml
./install

Yes, although that probably won't be added until 2012r1.2.
