Since Steve brought it up I started playing around with the USER settings... and I have some questions.
1. We run a bunch of applications on our servers, and I know app owners would like to track their users in better detail. So far all I've been able to figure out is to run separate jobs on just an INCLUDE for their DIR do the USER stuff for them, into a separate report directory. But that's a pain for about 20 apps. Means I'm going to be running up to 21 jobs a day, and more on the last day of the month. Which leads me into the second part-- caching, but let me finish with the DIR and USER question. I'd like to have more detailed DIR reports linked from the top level. So the top level general report lists the DIR stats for DirectoryApp1, but knows that there is another report with more information on this level. 1a: Can the top report link down to the others 1b: Can it run them both with the same job? Even if they have different parameters? The USER information actually isn't very useful at the top level. 2. Can I include YTD data from cache files and not impact my monthly status reports that are so important to the mgmt? They want to see a monthly report that is a complete monthly snapshot. But other people want a YTD glance too, and another group just wants error reports for the month, not YTD error reports. 3. Now on the caching matter... we roll our logs monthly using syslog-ng, and cronolog before that. So I need to make cache files not until the end of the month. I think I can do that with the nifty TZ trick though I haven't tried it. But that's another run to do that... Has anyone done this? On the first of the month run a cache-creating run for last month's logs? This would allow me to do YTD reports since my monster logs sometimes approach 3 minutes (no DNS, just huge-- up around 1gb per month). But that's another scheduled job separate from the other job-- unless I write a wrapper script with some logic to it. That's doable, actually. I think I'm out of questions.... I'm done firing.

The User Report can include the date and time of last access by setting the USERCOLS to include that column. http://analog.cx/docs/othreps.html#othCOLS Aengus +------------------------------------------------------------------------ | TO UNSUBSCRIBE from this list: | http://lists.meer.net/mailman/listinfo/analog-help | | Analog Documentation: http://analog.cx/docs/Readme.html | List archives: http://www.analog.cx/docs/mailing.html#listarchives | Usenet version: news://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.analog.general +------------------------------------------------------------------------
