Well, IMO it's still unnecessary. Webservers serve out plain text just
fine.
Sometimes I feel like such a curmudgeon.
Agreed. (the first part, not the curmudgeon) But there's a difference
between needed features and desired features. HTML formatted reports
probably fall into the desired category.
That said, web-based Amanda reports could be useful for those who would
rather check a central web site than read yet another piece of mail. My
first order of business in the day is to open a central console that fires
off to MRTG graphs, big brother reports, a call database, etc. Amanda could
be another one of those.
But I'm not certain that this needs to be a part of Amanda either. Anyone
could write up a quick perl script to take amreport -f and html-ize it.
Stick that in your backup script and be done.
I keep thinking there must be an obvious way to integrate Amanda reports
with Big Brother somehow... Have to think on this.
