Auto-updating reports page

[[email protected]…]

It would be great if we could specify a reload interval for the reports web page so that I can always see an updated page. Then my nodes would be that much cleaner!

Simply add the following 'refresh-time' property to any report tag you'd like your browser to auto-refresh. This time is in seconds. This only applies to HTML pages and automatically letting your browser request a copy from the server. If you are not updating the reports via some mechanism such as Cron, the reports won't be updated when they are refreshed by the browser.

Example report-configuration.xml:

<Reports>
    <Report name='timings' good='Y' modified='Y' refresh-time='3600'>
        <Delivery mechanism='www' type='timing-summary'>
            <Destination address='/Library/WebServer/Documents/my-stats-time.html'/>
        </Delivery>
        <Machine name='.*' />
    </Report>
</Reports>
