Nagios-Report-0.002 on CPAN/NagiosExchange.

[Stanley.Hopcroft at Dest.gov.au]

Dear Folks,

I am writing to say that Nagios::Report 0.002 has been 'released' and is
available at
the usual places.

This relase fixes a bug, and adds limited charting capability and a
weaker alternate interface (provided by the Perl DBD::AnyData module)
that allows client code to select the report data with SQL (the small
subset that AnyData accepts).

- fix bug in mkreport() processing of MUNGE_CALLBACK (would not change
report values).

*** This entailed a change _non_ backward compatible change in the
MUNGE_CALLBACK interface.
*** Client code that calls the alter->() callback _requires_ changing.
*** The alter callback is now called with one parm, a ref to a hash of
the field values
*** indexed by field name. See examples/ for scripts that have been
changed.

- added to_dbh() method to allow DBD::AnyData provided use of SQL
(simple) on report data
- added primitive support for chart templates to excel_dump. The
workbook written by Spreadsheet::WriteExcel can contain _one_ (1) chart
of the availability data.

This project does not scale very well. It provides a limited capability
to provide a Data source for processing by Reporting tools such as
Excel. 

This module has probably reached the end of development (some may say it
would better have not started) apart from bug fixes.

If you are serious about reporting look at the DB NEB modules or Steve
Shipways stuff on NagiosExchange. This module provides however, a
limited capacity to provide reports in the format beloved by PHBs.

Yours sincerely.
