Hi people
I was wondering if there are any decent reporting tools for RT. Ive tried
statistics3.tgz from the ftp, but it doest quite do what I need. I need to
be able to do reports by owner as well as queues. And perhaps groups too.
thanks

Hi,
I don’t think there are really any reporting packages out there for RT
that are really going to cover all the bases.
We ended up just writing up some custom scripts (combination of RT API
calls and straight SQL) to export various stats as csv, which is
imported into a commercial stats system (which handles KPI’s and all
that rubbish 
).
Not much help… but that’s how we do it
Regards,

I’m also looking into a reporting tool, but I’m still fighting with
statistics 0.1.5 and my RT 3.2.2 installation. I can now get the
basic table stats, but it hangs when I try to generate graphs.
The README is pretty skimpy on where it expects to put the generated
images and what permissions you need in there…

If your are getting problems with the graphs showing as broken images, I
too ran across this. I think a downgrade on GD::Graph may fix this,
although I never went back to check this. Check the date that
statistics was built and get a version of GD::Graph from that time
period to check this out.

I’m using version 1.43 of GD::Graph, which one are you using?
perl -e 'use GD::Graph; print "v: $GD::Graph::VERSION\n";'
v: 1.43
From the looks of it, my apache httpd process gets stuck with tons and
tons of:
futex(0x9cfc738, FUTEX_WAIT, 2, NULL) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)
futex(0x9cfc738, FUTEX_WAIT, 2, NULL) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)
Errors. I can kill if off without a problem, but it’s annoying that
it does happen.
I’m running RHEL v3.0 Workstation, perl 5.8.5, apache 2.0.46, mod_perl
1.99_12-2.1 (from a RPM).
Thanks,
John

When I was testing this all out, I tried to trace back and find what was
causing the broken images, but gave up as the production deadline
approached and stripped the graphs out. I’ve never really gone back to
investigate if this actually was the problem. The version installed is
1.43, though.

Same setup for my test instance, except with RT 3.2.3 instead of 3.2.2.

I got this to work on my test box using 1.43. The problem now is that I
can’t duplicate that success anywhere else. What I ended up doing was
(many times) removing the GD, GD::Graph, and GD::TextUtil modules and
recompiling them from scratch.
The other thing I found at one point is that there were 2 version of
libgd installed. One was in /usr/lib and the other (which I built by
hand) was in /usr/local/lib. I did at one point remove libgd from
/usr/lib, but I’m pretty sure it still wasn’t working at that point.
I’ll keep fiddling with this for a little while longer.
