The problem is that everyone has vastly divergent requirements, and it's super difficult to produce something which hits more than a small percentage of users.
We try to build things in a way that they don't generate unending "can you just add/change this one tiny thing..." requests, because that gets very inefficient to maintain.
I think the best way to do this stuff is for the few who need it to just build it from graphs and db data, since we don't have nearly the resources to build or maintain a configurable report generation system.

That’s better than what I did to satisfy my urgent need (which is what drove this thread originally), I just took screenshots into a Word Doc and exported PDF.
Your method would be better than that, and something I could consider as a work around I suppose. If it becomes a more regular need of mine or I’m asked to automate it, I might invest the time to make a proper plugin or one-off the code. For now though, I think it’s sorted.
Thanks mate

I create reports on my own.
Some customers want to see e.g. availability, CPU, RAM, disk usage on a monthly basis. Other like to have port utilizations.
I download graphs from observium with wget (http://observium/graph.php?device=$d&type=$t&from=$a&to=$e&$...) put them together in simple html files and convert them with htmldoc to pdf files.
Not the smartest way but it works.

we don't do reports because not a single person who has every asked for a report has ever actually been able to articulate what would be in a report.

Using latest CE..
Just making sure I haven’t missed something in the docs and config guides.. I do not see a way to print any type of reports/PDFs.. but I do see a ../html/pdf.php which looks like it would do that.
Did I miss a page in the docs?
