Hi @mike-marcacci

I have been exploring Gandhi and would like to find out how people are handling reporting? Are they plans to include a reports module or people are jsut exporting data and manipulate it in data analysis software packages? Thanks.

Hi Ronna!

I'm psyched you've been exploring this, and sorry again for the slow replies: there are plans to add a comprehensive solution for reporting, but as of yet we haven't been able to extract a coherent set of shared reporting goals from the several production instances of this (and instead have been doing reporting on a case-by-case basis).

What kind of reports are you interested in?

Also, gandhi is backed by rethinkdb which has an incredibly powerful query language. While gandhi should definitely support some form of general-purpose reporting, there are few limits to ReQL.

Hi @mike-marcacci

No worries about the late responses. Thanks for getting back.

We have not yet finalised the reports and might not be possible to generate the required reports because of the current information been collected.

Are you in a position to share "generic" reports or code to generate them from the ones you have done so far.

Thanks and Regards
