print capability for audit-viewer?

print capability for audit-viewer?

[LC Bruzenak]

Is there any plan to add printing capability to the audit-viewer?

Thx,
LCB.

Not currently; you can export any tab to HTML[1] and use a web browser (or perhaps (lynx -dump | lpr)) to print it.  Is that an acceptable solution for you?

[1] I have just noticed that "list" exports don't work, and a fix will be available in the next release.

Mirek,

Thanks for the reply. I tried the export, however it isn't the tab
contents per se which have the important data for us. We have modified
the event tab to include the entire raw event, because in our system,
the really important data is in usually the application-submitted
text.

Since the event details window has no export, there is no way to print
the desired information per event.

I also tried adding the "other fields" to the columns listing, however
that particular test also had a different error. The first column was
"Date" and when I tried to export that list, it failed to export the
list. So I ran the audit-viewer from the command line and saw an
error:
TypeError: __date_column_event_text takes exactly 1 argument (2 given).

Was it the above or different?

Thanks again,

Adding an export functionality to the "Event detail" dialog should not be difficult, filed as  https://fedorahosted.org/audit-viewer/ticket/12 .

Yes, it was this one.  The fix is also available at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=379614 .
