Reports
A report is a file that contains the data a hydroSpider2 has logged. The hydroSpider2 is capable of
generating reports in a number of different formats, and reports can be retrieved from the
hydroSpider in a few different ways:
Manually using the web interface
: The user can download part or all of the hydroSpider’s
logged data. See 4.6 - History: Download Logged Data.
Automatically
: A hydroSpider can be configured to automatically send out reports over
email, FTP and/or HTTP on a periodic basis. This is useful for remote systems which can’t be
physically accessed to retrieve the logged data.
Alarms
: A hydroSpider can be configured to automatically send reports over email, FTP
and/or HTTP whenever an alarm occurs. See 5.10.3.1 - Alarm Report Options.
Manually by requesting it with an SMS message
: a report can be triggered by sending the
hydroSpider an SMS report request. This report can be sent over email.
The hydroSpider2 can be setup to automatically send up to two reports. Each report can be
independently configured to periodically send logged data to up to two FTP servers (or two accounts
on one server), three email recipients and/or an HTTP server.
Automatic reports can be set up from the Change Automatic Report Settings page of the
hydroSpider. This page can be accessed by going into Change Setup and clicking the
Reports
link. A
