-Bcfg2 Static Reporting System
-=============================
-
-The Bcfg2 reporting system collects and displays information about the
-operation of the Bcfg2 client, and the configuration states of target
-machines.
-
-Goals
-=====
-
-The reporting system provides an interface to administrators describing
-a few important tasks
-
-* Client configuration state, particularly aspects that do not match the configuration specification.
-  Information about bad and extra configuration elements is included.
-* Client execution results (a list of configuration elements that were modified)
-* Client execution performance data (including operation retry counts, and timings for several critical execution regions)
-
-This data can be used to understand the current configuration state
-of the entire network, the operations performed by the client, how the
-configuration changes propagate, and any reconfiguration operations that
-have failed.
-
-Retention Model
-===============
-
-The current reporting system stores statistics in an XML data store, by
-default to ``<repo>/etc/statistics.xml``. It retains either one or two
-statistic sets per host. If the client has a clean configuration state,
-the most recent (clean) record is retained.  If the client has a dirty
-configuration state, two records are retained. One record is the last
-clean record. The other record is the most recent record collected,
-detailing the incorrect state.
-
-This retention model, while non-optimal, does manage to persistently
-record most of the data that users would like.
-
-Setup
-=====
-
-In order to configure your Bcfg2 server for receiving reports, you
-will need to list the Statistics plugin in the plugins line of your
-``bcfg2.conf``. You will also need a [statistics] section
-in your ``bcfg2.conf``. You can find out more about what goes there in the
-``bcfg2.conf`` manpage.
-
-Output
-======
-
-Several output reports can be generated from the statistics store with
-the command line tool ``bcfg2-build-reports``.
-
-* Nodes Digest
-* Nodes Individual
-* Overview Statistics
-* Performance
-
-The data generated by these reports can be delivered by several
-mechanisms:
-
-* HTML
-* Email
-* RSS
-
-Shortcomings and Planned Enhancements
-=====================================
-
-When designing the current reporting system, we were overly concerned with
-the potential explosion in data size over time. In order to address this,
-we opted to use the retention scheme described above. This approach has
-several shortcomings:
-
-* A comprehensive list of reconfiguration operations (with associated
-  timestamps) isn't retained
-* Client results for any given day (except the last one) aren't uniformly
-  retained. This means that inter-client analysis is difficult, if
-  not impossible
-
-We plan to move to a database backend to address the dataset size
-problem and start retaining all information. The move to a SQL backend
-will allow many more types of queries to be efficiently processed. It
-will also make on-demand reports simpler.
-
-Other sorts of information would also be useful to track. We plan to
-add the ability to tag a particular configuration element as security
-related, and include this in reports. This will aid in the effective
-prioritization of manual and failed reconfiguration tasks.
-
-Capability Goals (posed as questions)
--------------------------------------
-
-* What machines have not yet applied critical updates?
-* How long did critical updates take to be applied?
-* What configuration did machine X have on a particular date?
-* When did machine X perform configuration update Y?
