G00r00,

I know your plate is full, but have you ever thought about making a tic file creation utility inside Mystic? You can pretty
Much so everything I else in terms of running a network with Mystic, and very wel I might add, except tic files.

I think that would be a fantastic option. Also, post and echo stats from
mutil, much like what Avon creates here for fsx.

That would be so sweet for us few who run ftn networks using mystic as the backend.

No biggie but it would be nice!

Yes, its been half done for a long time and something I want to finish in the near future if I can get to it.

I would be willing to do this I just need to figure out a format and what information should be included. I don't have a lot of experience with
various reporting tools.

I know there was at least one good one for JAM bases, but not one specific to Mystic's mailer. What information would you like to see?

Yep the hatch ACS string is in the file editor, just the ability to offer the sysop (or whomever has correct ACS) the functionality to do it is missing.
It's something I noted in that wishlist I'd sent your way. Be great to have this enabled when possible but no rush / urgency on it from my end.

Have a look in the FSX_BOT echo and you will see weekly stats posted there using a couple of tools. They basically just examine the JAM message base and extract stuff from there. In one case the ability to alter the template is
easy the other tool is fairly much hard coded in its output. :(

I can email you some files or just file box them to you if you would like to take a look at them. They are certainly not very new.

Black Panther has also been working on 1-2 tools lately in this space which
has been appreciated. I think a key issue is how you get the data you need
from Mystic logging to generate reports like echo area traffic being sent via Fidopoll and received by BinkP. I say this as logging varies between setup.
In my case I have rolling mutil log. I think BP was using mutil.log for his data but it's no good with a rolling setup etc. like mine

Yes, the program is reading the mutil.log for the information.

On your setup, how does the rolling logs work? I know it makes the
mutil.1.log, mutil.2.log, etc, but how many days worth of info is in each of the logs? And, how many of the logs do you keep? I may be able to have it
read the additional logs for information as well.

I'm asking, as I don't use that function within the mutil.ini files. I just
use a batch file script to archive the logs after a set amount of time.

Thanks,

At the moment I have the following set up

[snip]

; Log roller type 0=roll by number of files/size 1=roll by number of days
logtype = 1

; number of log files to keep (0 to disable log rolling)
maxlogfiles = 35

; size of each log file in kilobytes
maxlogsize = 1500

Since updating to A33 I now see this
