Proposed Server Log File Pages Formatting

Post by compdewd »

I have noticed that for a while now that the server log file pages are not entirely formatted to appeal to the reader. While this is probably of extremely low priority based on the number of people that probably actually look at the pages, a fix in the script that converts the actual log file to HTML would be quite simple. First the following could be added to the current CSS to make things a little better separated:

Code: Select all

table { border: 1px solid #c0c0c0; }
td, th { border: 1px solid #c0c0c0; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle; }
To the existing <table> tag, the following could be added:

Code: Select all

cellpadding="5px" cellspacing="0px"
Then a row of <th>s could be added, describing the columns:

Code: Select all

<tr>
	<th>Timestamp</th>
	<th>Server Address</th>
	<th>Server Name</th>
	<th>Server Admin</th>
	<th>Associated Client</th>
	<th>Server Status</th>
	<th>Server Accept Status</th>
	<th>Server CPU Load</th>
	<th>Server Net Load</th>
	<th>Server Fin Wait</th>
	<th>Days of Remaining Disk Space</th>
	<th>Diff Time</th>
	<th>WUs Available</th>
	<th>WUs Remaining</th>
	<th>WUs Assigned</th>
	etc... (I don't know the rest of the columns)
</tr>
And then (assuming it's as easy as I think) they have better-looking log file pages, rather than HTML-formatted CSV files :e?: :D
Anyway, just a suggestion :)

I agree that it's not going to get a high enough priority from the Pande Group for it to happen any time soon. How about providing a topic in the 3rd party forum containing whatever files are needed to process the existing log file into your suggested html displayable form?

I would be happy to do some work so the Pande Group could focus on better things and have prettier server log pages as well, but they already have the script working, it just needs a few more lines added to it. The most I can give them is what I have already given :/
