I haven't had a chance to look at 7.4 yet, but I'm hearing lots of
rumors that the usual commands/sources (e.g. the daemon.log) that one
would use to do your own reporting are either gone or significantly
changed in 7.4.  (I've heard, for example, tape drive info no longer
goes there, but I haven't confirmed anything.)

Can anyone confirm/deny?

Is anyone doing their own reporting using the command line? If so, how
have things changed in 7.4?

Curtis;

Please clarify. What kind of reports do you have in mind? I have been running 7.4 since the end of October.

If you are thinking about monitoring for error conditions such as bad tape media, that info is usually noted in the /nsr/logs/daemon.raw file. For general reporting such as tape device utilization, I rely on the NMC's reports feature, which is quite nice.
