  • 1.  Input from the Nimsoft community needed regarding report_engine FTP reports remote server

    Product management needs some guidence from you in the community. Currently the report_engine has the ability to FTP reports to a target FTP server. This is useful if you want to place reports on a different web server (outside of the NMS environment) and you control access to these reports.

     

    How many of you are using this feature today?

     

    Thanks for your input.

    I have never used this feature.  I see the email feature more of a value add than the ftp.  Just my 2 cents for what it's worth.

    We used to use this feature but since the advent of SDP it is less useful and required more administration overhead

    A previous client of mine had a very large reporting environment which relied heavily on this type of infrastructure, but I guess this function is only going to target large multi platform ITSCs which have a "global" or regionalised infrastructure for reporting.

     

    That's just my 2 cents....
