New Reporting API

[shay666_ironport]

Hey- I am curious how people are using the new Reporting API. Like for example, do you have a script that downloads the data and imports it into a SQL DB or SharePoint, Are you embedding it in am intranet site, etc....

Thanks
Shay

Hi,

i used to use the older version. Now i am working on a separate python program to parse the logs...

We are actually working differently, to have more details in our SQLDB. We offload log files to a centralized box, through automated SCP. On that box, we parse the log files through a perl script- which offers us maximum flexibility and details, on which data we inject into our DB..

I am though, using the reporting API, for workqueue statuses and alerting.

Wedlock,

is this perl script generic? or is it specially developed for the specific purpose?

[Wedlock_ironport]

It's developed for this purpose. I'm getting the data from the log files, and I'm storing it in a (My)SQL db on a per recipient domain base. That way, I basically have the same data spamtowho can give you, but per domain- rather than on a global level.
