Initial Setup
opReports works almost completely "out of the box" and requires just a very few configuration settings to be adjusted initially:
...
Many reports contain clickable links to NMIS, which require that the setting for nmis_host_base is correct. It is also important that the configuration setting opreports_url_base is correct, or your report will display badly.
These are set in /usr/local/omk/conf/opCommon.json.See the next item for details on how to modify this file safely.
make Make a backup of /usr/local/omk/conf/opCommon.json before you edit the file as a syntax error induced in the file will cause all OMK applications to cease to function
The nmis_host_base configuration is required to make sure that graphs and other linked things can find the server correctly from a report which has been emailed.
...
If you want to run scheduled reports very frequently, then the default frequency for the opReports scheduler may be insufficient.
By default opReports installs a cron file (in /etc/cron.d/opreports) which runs opreports-scheduler.pl once per hour. Feel free to modify that cron file to your liking.
Upgrade to version 4.2.0 and later.
Starting from version 4.2.0, we have made significant changes on our internal shared code for all our applications to work on Opmantek's latest and fastest platform, however, previously installed product are not compatible with this version.
