Run a Scheduled Report multiple times a Day

cdekort

Hi All,

As mentioned in this thread, http://thwack.solarwinds.com/thread/65043

It would be nice if you can create a scheduled report to repeat itself multiple times within a day without having to create multiple schedules

I haven't seen v5.7 as yet, so unsure if this has already been implimented but if not, please vote it up

Cheers,

Chris

A scheduling mechanism with the flexibility of "cron" would be extremely useful. The current mechanism is close to useless, unless performing daily or monthly one-off reports.

Eg:Schedules such as:

* Every hour, between 9am to 5pm, on week days.

* 30 minutes past every 6th hour (eg: 0:30, 6:30, 12:30, 18:30).

* Every 10 minutes, to update a "Publish Report (Overwrite)" image, for display elsewhere via image URL. - Note, requires a mechanism that alerts when generation of a report would cause an overlap/race-condition (eg: complain if a previous instant of a report is still running).

Conditional schedules would also be useful.

Eg:

* Send a report every hour, but only if one of the reported metrics are over/under threshold.
