Security metrics, reporting functions¶

Briefs extracts : ¶

"We will start with a simple integraton of the results of Pakiti and Nagios to the existing dashboard.
 Both these services will provide an XML-based reports that will be retrieved by the dashboard on regular basis. 
The results will contain the site name (as per GOC DB) and information gathered to the site."*
....
"Define/adapt/implement/ the XML (CSV,...) format of the reports for Nagios and Pakiti and make them available for Dashboard."

"And just to give a feeling what's behind the numbers in Pakiti, I enclose a few graphs that we generated recently. I'd be really thankful
if the dashboard could provide us with such graphs in the end, since it wasn't that easy to produce them :-) Besides these graphs, we're also
interested in pictures describing individual sites, but that's something we can discuss later."

Metrics¶

Generation : on regular basis (each day ?)

Report¶

<Site>

@todo:
  - confrm that report is a XML/CVS View of the user interface
 - define content with more details (see example)
 - what about user's data and notes ?
- what do you mean by 'Estimated values due to monitoring downtime' in metric graph
