Get reports from a PacketFence server each day
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. If you want to get some metrics on your PacketFence server on a daily basis, you can use Reports menu but you need to connect to web admin each day.
On top of that, it's not easy to export a report using Reports menu if you want to keep it for historical purpose. Process is:
- Click on the report
- Select your time period
- Display all results in one page (works only if you have less than 1000 records)
- Select all results
- Export in CSV
At the moment, we don't support sending results of reports by mail.
Describe the solution you'd like Simplify process of exporting a report
@satkunas suggested that we could rely on maintenance task to do this and send the result by email
Describe alternatives you've considered Send specific reports by mail.
Additional context Having a way to export Report can be interesting because you don't need to keep a lot of records in DB in order to generate old reports.
