ZoneCD Accounting Reports

If you are not satisfied with the simple hit counting reports currently available in Zone Control, have I got something for you... The first interface for the ZoneCD Accounting Service is "done". Well, I am still tweaking, but it's done enough for you to use. If anything gets changed, it will just be in the presentation layer.

Here's the catch: You must select XML from the available accounting methods in Zone Control, and it's not completely stable... yet. There is a flaw in XML::Accounting that will crash NoCat when the accounting service makes a request and the connection is refused by the application server. So if the ZoneCD tries to update the accounting data and Tomcat is down... el crash-o your NoCat-o. This will be fixed in 3-1, out by next week.

I will be adding more [Public IP] services to this interface. Soon you will be able to set session length and bandwidth limits for each user. I'll through in a few more goodies as well... Feedback is always appreciated!

Check it out: http://xml.publicip.net/ ( use your Zone Control login. Login not required if you use the "Preview" link on HotSpot Statistics in Zone Control) You will not have any data available until you set your accounting method to XML. From that point your accounting data will begin archiving here.
