Create a summary report of the night

[Revro]

Hello,
for beginning sorry for my english, i dont use it very often.

So my problem is the following:
I would like create a summary report which be created automatically all mornings. It will have to contains summaries of all the events of the night (event selected, ping, cpu etc...). This summary will be different every day (different file every day).

Example:
I have test for many of my servers which look for reboot of these servers. I want that my manager can just open a file and sees all reboot realized in the night by these servers.


Thank you in advance for your support!

I am not sure what exactly means summary report...
Most of HostMonitor reports do not show you what happened some time ago - reports show what is going on right now (however report may include statistics fields, e.g. alive/dead ratio field).
e.g.

SLA reports show statistics for some time frame (days, weeks, months...)
e.g.

If you need information about all events, this sounds like you need LOG, not report - just check your log file, you will see all event there.

Thank you for the so fast answer !

Yes, logs seems better for what i want.

I think of having seen this fonction but i never test it, and i can't test it today.
So can you confirm that log can be deleted automatically every day?

Thanks again !

Well, you can delete log at any time but in such case I think you need to store backups somehow (what if you will need to check what happened a week ago?). Then it will be hard to analyzer 60 log files created in one month.
Truth to say I don't understand why do you need to delete log every day.

HostMonitor may create new log files every day or everyweek (and it will keep old log file as well).
-----------------
If you have chosen "File" as type of the log, then you should define location and name of the common log file. Select one of the following options:
Log to specific file
Automatically change the log every month (MMYYYY-Log.ext)
Automatically change the log every week (WWYYYY-Log.ext)
Automatically change the log every day (DDMMYYYY-Log.ext)
If you select option to automatically change the log file date macro variables may be specified in the log file name. HostMonitor interprets text between the '%' of the log name as a macro, where 'DD' represents the day of the month, 'WW' - current week number, 'MM' - the month, 'YY' - the year in two digit format, 'YYYY' - the year.
-----------------

Another option - use ODBC logging. If you are running some SQL server, then you can easily get records for specific time frame or specific test or anything else.
Note: Oracle ODBC drivers have hundreds bugs, better don't use them.

Yes i want to stock log for looking what happened week ago, but one or two week is sufficient.

So log will be sufficient for what i need.

Thank you for the support !
