Get Reports with API or SNMP

João Brum 
Hi,
Is it possible to get the results of reports using the SNMP protocol or API?

I searched the documentation a lot, but found no items.

    Does it provide reports embeded into email body? Or can it attach a schedule HTML report? I looked into it recently but didn't see much difference between iview and the latest onboard XG reporting. The only benefit I see from it is longer retention and not bogging down the machine. Maybe some extra reports but no improvement in delivery, am I correct?

    Others have mentioned graylog but don't forget to calculate hardware costs, upkeep etc. Also graylog is not known for great reporting, or charts, mostly raw logs from what I hear. Correct me if I'm wrong

    I once started to create one but stopped because lack of time. It's one of my projects to do so... I'll keep you posted if I got one.

    This hardly depends on the Extractor, whether you are going to parse the Message, and from there on you can create reports on the parsed fields.

    I finally got around to playing with Graylog. Seems to work well and I've documented my XG Pipeline in case anyone is interested.

    Care to share any examples of what it's been able to produce?

    Unfortunately, I haven't had much chance to build reports from the raw data yet so I don't have anything to show in that regard. From a quick-and-dirty analytics perspective, graylog does have some easy to use charting and graphing capabilities. The dashboarding options don't seem half bad either, and I bet you could re-create most, if not all, of the native XG reports right in graylog itself. It even has mapping capabilities so you can incorporate geolocation data (also plug-and-play with graylog) into your reports. But, to be honest, I'll probably use a different reporting platform when it comes time for that. Since graylog makes easy work of stuffing everything into an elasticsearch database, the options are endless.
