opReports 4.6.1

RELEASED   17 Sep 2024

  • The opreports-sftp.pl script has been updated to include improved error handling. The script will now exit with a failure status on encountering errors, ensuring more reliable and consistent behavior during file transfers.
  • The new Post Report Script feature has been updated to allow a Post Report Script to be run after any report. 
  • The handling of the Post Report Script has been updated. In previous versions, the opreports-sftp.pl script would automatically run whenever the a report was generated. Now, this behavior has been changed to give users more control. Users must now manually select the opreports-sftp.pl script from a dropdown menu in the Advanced tab of opReports if they want it to execute after a report is generated. The script will only run if it is explicitly chosen by the user. See  Migration in Automatically copy opReports to another server using SFTP.
  • The opreports-sftp.pl script and the Post Report Script have a new configuration parameter: opreports_post_report_script_timeout. This parameter allows users to specify a timeout duration for the post report script. By setting this parameter in opCommon.json, users can control the maximum amount of time the post-report script is allowed to run, ensuring that it doesn't hang indefinitely or run longer than expected. See Post Report Script.

  • 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.
    • New paragraph Requirements in opReports documentation for each of the following Reports:
