Improvements

  • opReports 3.5.1 and newer include improvements to memory related fields in the Node Health Report

  • The percentile function has been improved:
    • opReports 3.5.1 and newer now use the nearest rank inclusive percentile formula as provided in wikipedia:
      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percentile
    • The differences between the new and old percentile formula cause very few differences in the 95th percentile outputs,
      and when there are differences, they are generally very small fractional changes.

opReports 3.4.1

RELEASED 16 Mar 2021.

Highlights

This is a maintenance release:

  • Introduces extra debug=9 level logging to assist in researching issues when encountered in opReports.
  • Fixes 95th Percentile calculation in WAN Utilisation Distribution Report and WAN Utilisation Distribution Summary Report:
    Prior to version 3.4.1 the reflected value for 95th Percentile should be multiplied by 8 to get the correct value for 95th Percentile in the above-mentioned reports.
  • In the QoS Report, Standardised Quality of Service supported devices that do not support CBQoS will display interface QoS even though the interface has a setting of 'collect=false'.

opReports 3.4.0

RELEASED 01 Oct 2020.

Upgrade Notes

The new upcoming release of opReports 3.4 will work on Opmantek's latest and fastest platform, however, the currently installed products are incompatible with this upgrade. 
To find out more about this upgrade please read: Upgrading Opmantek Applications

opReports 3.3.0

This version was released on 16 July 2020.

Highlights

(warning)(warning) This release requires updated licenses, please contact Opmantek Support to organise new licenses

  • makes the following improvements:
    • QoS Report:
      • Model and Vendor details are provided per node in the report.
    • Uptime Report:
      • New option 'Exceptions Report' (Default: true)

        • The Uptime Report now offers this new option which defaults to the original behaviour of only returning nodes according to opCommon configuration settings:
          • where uptime is shorter than uptime_shortest_days (default 7); or
          • where uptime is longer than uptime_longest_days (default 365).
        • When 'Exceptions Report=false', the Uptime Report provides a third column with the remainder of nodes that have an uptime to report,
          in other words, those with uptime from uptime_shortest_days to uptime_longest_days.

        • Please read Generating Reports for generating on-demand reports: this new option is uptime_exceptions on that page.

...

  • Improves the QoS report by providing 'Standardised Quality of Service' on Cisco, Huawei, Juniper and Teldat devices insofar as these devices support QoS.
  • Please read the known_reports_cache documentation:
    • Although the known_reports_cache has not changed since version 3.1.11, It is important to understand the benefits of applying the cache
      and that deleting reports via cronjob or commandline should be followed by a command to flush the known_reports_cache.

...

  • The main opReports dashboard was reorganised and now shows the report types sorted and categorised in three (collapsible) sections for greater clarity.
  • opReports now offers a new special report type called "Grouped Availability Report".
  • A new node and interface selection mechanism was added: you can now select nodes and interfaces by regular expression.
  • The Node Health report was reworked to present more useful memory metrics for servers.
    Where present, 'cached' and 'buffer' memory is now taken into account when computing free main memory.
    On servers, swap memory is shown (as a separate column for XLSX and CSV outputs) instead of the much less useful 'Virtual Memory'.
    Coloring by condition class is now more reliable, and the condition and action column ordering in HTML output was corrected.
  • The Interface Capacity report layout now offers configurable output formatting of the 95th percentile information.
    You can choose the display options Percent (default), Interface Bandwidth or both.
  • All reports (except the Node Report) now support Business Week time filtering.
  • The WAN, QoS and CoS reports now honor interface selections correctly.
  • Node selection via opCharts Business Service membership now supports both business services consisting of nodes as well as specific nodes' interfaces.
  • Various bug fixes and robustness improvements.

...

  • There is a new report type "Class of Service", which presents Juniper-sourced Quality/Class of Service information.
  • This version also introduces the new report type "Configuration Summary", which presents an overview of the configuration items, monitored services and elements with alerts and thresholds for  any number of nodes.
  • opReports now supports CSV as format for Node, Interface and Type selection files, and logs inconsistencies with this input type better.
  • The report scheduler now handles 'impossible' reports more robustly and with fewer unnecessary retries
    (e.g. a daily report where the business week is set to Mon-Fri, which therefore cannot be generated for Sat or Sun)
  • The error reporting and logging was improved for greater robustness and clarity.
  • Various bug fixes and improvements.

...

  • The multiprocessing code was made more robust, and the selftest should no longer report problems about not being able to run "df".
  • Node and Group selections in the report generation gui are now sorted.
  • Uploading of Node+Interface+Type selection files now works for on-demand reports.
  • opReports' timezone handling was greatly extended.
    If you set the config option omkd_display_timezone to your desired timezone, then all times in the opReports GUI will be displayed in that timezone and including the timezone offset.
    You can use any timezone definition from the ISO8601 standard and the Olson database, plus "local" (meaning the timezone configured on the server).
    If this option is not set, the times will be shown in the "local" timezone but without zone offset. If explicitely set to "local", the offset suffix is shown.
  • The WAN reports now show interface descriptions with interface names.

...

  • opReports 3.0.4 now offers free licenses which are not time limited (but limited to 20 nodes).
  • opReports now supports optional Single-Sign-On across servers.
  • Report schedules by group ("Each" or specific group name) now works correctly.
    In 3.0.2 such reports were incorrectly rejected by the report generator, with the log message being "no nodes or interfaces found".
  • A number of GUI pages were reworked for improved compatibility and usability.
    The schedule editor displays better checkboxes.
    Lists of nodes and groups are now sorted before display (for both scheduled and on-demand report creation).
    All irrevocable operations in the GUI now require confirmation.
  • The new configuration option opreports_application_heading lets you change the page heading to a custom value.
  • Various installer improvements and minor bug fixes.

...

  • A new look and feel: the GUI was completely rebuilt and now behaves like our other modern applications.
  • A new, flexible scheduling system: any number of repeated or one-off reports can be specified, each with their own parameters and options.
  • A number of new report types, both special-purpose as well as generic ones
  • More flexibility: there are new mechanisms for selecting nodes and interfaces, the report titles and the banners are configurable
  • A comfortable interactive installer: opReports now uses the Opmantek Installer for installation and upgrades.
  • Better archive management: You can now define how long (and where) opReports should keep particular reports (or classes of reports).
  • Easier archive access: The opReports GUI now keeps track of all reports (scheduled or on-demand) and provides fast access to them.
  • More output formats: reports can now be created in HTML (for both inline as well as standalone viewing), CSV and XLSX - all selectable.
  • More self-contained outputs: reports are now saved together with their metadata, which captures all parameters and inputs of a report.
  • Better exporting: You can now get a report in ZIP form from the GUI. The GUI also allows you to email that ZIP file to anybody.
  • Nicer Emails: reports can be emailed to anybody (automatically on generation), and contain all selected formats as attachments.
  • Easier Administration: opReports now has a self-test (for diagnosing common problems) and is much easier to configure than before.
