Well we're beyond the second week of May... is it out?!

Me wantee! 

It's looking like next week now although the first release version will first go to the beta testers then to the public after a couple of days.

Sorry! No problems with the tool or the service, just a busy time for the development team at the moment. It is likely that before we do a full release we will make the download link available here for everyone so watch this space.

Thanks for your continued patience. I do realise it's been a long time since this was first promised but it's not long now

You'll be glad to know I'll be offering a Perl interface to the new API that mimics the existing script.

Actually, I'm thinking of doing it as a Perl module (.pm) into which you can plug any form of output you like - so they'll be the one designed for Cacti/rrdtool use, one for humans to read, etc. This saves patching the main script to change the output.

The module could even offer advanced stuff like 'time to usage exceded' or 'expected date of excession'.

I'm just as busy as Carl's dev. team at the mo though, so haven't really started work on it - not that the API is even public yet to show you, even if it was done :-)

Brilliant..it won't need repairing every time Zen change something in the portal!
