I know Im gonna get alot of groans, but since this is a work project (one I dont get paid extra for), I don't want to spend a lot of time dev'ing a site, and so setup a nuke site to use for our NOC.
The NOC documents events, e.g,
13:56 GMT Main_server_name experiencing slowdowns, see ACT ticket # 123456789
Normally, we pare down the info and add it to a Shift Report. Well, the shift report, as Ive found out over time, is not really for us, per se, its more for the managers. (dont get me started)
Anyway, I have setup this nukesite so that the stories that are added to the main center block are these "events".
I want to extract the info and assemble to a Shift Report, and then have it sent out.
but the details will be compiled into a separate report for US, with all the info (that the managers dont want to see on the "official" report)
My question is this.
I know I can just write my own PHP to extract the data from the various MySQL tables. That would be no problem, but would be "re-inventing" the wheel so to speak.
What would be more advantageous is to access the variables that Nuke uses in assembling its layouts.
Are there any Nuke wiz's out there who have done something similar?
