opReports 3.1.10 introduces a newly developed known_reports_cache to speed up the loading of reports:
- A new option 'opreports_do_cache_known_reports' in /path/to/omk/conf/opCommon.nmis determines whether this cache is enabled or disabled. The cache is enabled by default.
- Testing on a server with a moderateley large number of generated reports has found load time to view a large report improves from more than 9 minutes to less than 45 seconds with the cache enabled.
When known_reports_cache is enabled and one deletes generated reports manually, on the commandline or in a cron job, it is necessary to update the known_reports_cache flag files modified time to flag that the cache must refresh - this command will suffice:
- touch /path/to/omk/var/opreports/known_reports_cache/*.flag
