opReports 3.0.2
Version 3.0.2 was released on 4 Jun 2015. This is a stable, general release.
Changes since the 3.0 pre-release
- The report scheduling system is now fully manageable from the GUI (but we also retained the ability of very direct control via JSON schedule files).
- Reports can now be deleted from the GUI, which also includes uncompleted reports whose generation has not been completed (due to misconfigurations for example).
- opReports now offers an authorisation mechanism for reports: you can optionally designate an NMIS group, whose members are the only users allowed to see a report.
- Only admin users can access the scheduling system. Non-admin users are only able to see reports they are authorised to see.
- The opReports installer was improved for greater robustness.
- Error reporting was improved.
- Integration between command-line tool and GUI was improved.
opReports 3.0
Version 3.0 was released on 8 Apr 2015. This is a pre-release of the 3.X series of opReports; a general full release is expected to follow very soon.
Highlights
- 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.
