Some issues with .58 - Changing flash charts in .59

I've had some reports that .58 is causing some strange issues with the index page not rendering, and perhaps even an out of memory error or two (it happened on my Vista station at work, but not XP...wha?).

I think it has been isolated to the AMCharts implementation in BerryStats, but I can't be sure. If it is, it is probably because I don't know enough about it to implement it properly.

In any case, I'm dropping it in lieue of Fusion Charts Free - which works out better in terms of licensing, etc.

Fusion Charts free produces some flash based charts that rivals AMCharts in appearance and load times, so it was only a natural selection.

In addition to changing the flash chart provider, I am modifying a few of the charts on the main page - I will make an inclusion for 'top 5 pending carriers' which is a chart showing the top 5 carriers that have pending messages on your devices.

Also, I will include top 5 pending users...

If you have any ideas of other useful charts. Let me know!

At some point, I will be including charts into some of the queries on the custom reporting page.

.55 out now, new feature: Selectively enable/disable BESUserAdminClient functions for BerryStats roles...

.55 is out, and the big addition is the new ability to select/deselect BESUserAdminClient functions for your roles.

This means if you only want to grant your helpdesk the ability to reset device passwords and Activation passwords (for example), then you can do so.  You can be as granular as you wish, making it easy to keep people from doing the wrong things in BerryStats!

What you don't see yet but is on my test bed is 'Self Service'...an additional role that allows your users to log in with their AD credentials and perform approved useradminclient functions on their own device (screenshots coming)!

New reports in version .54!

You can now create your own custom reports and make them available in BerryStats, version .54.

I will be working to make it possible to lock these down to unauthorized users, but if you don't have to worry about that, then give .54 a try!

New query page coming soon...

Right now, the queries are pretty limited (only a few to select from), but I am working out a new way of doing this - my intent is to have XML-based reports definitions that allow you to save and run any type of query that you like.

Not only that, but you should be able to trade queries with other users and completely customize your reports within BerryStats.

The page will have a way to define your own SQL query, and also grant you the ability to save and name a query that works for you. Also, I will add a feature to email the results to a SMTP recipient.

Should prove to be fun at the very least...
