NOC Using PHP for "Shift Reports" of Status.

Hi,

I work in a 24/7 Network Operation Center.

One of my responsibilities is to provide a report of all of the
happenings during my 8 hour shift to those who are scheduled after me
and to management.

For a number of years, this has been done via email format, cutting
and pasting to a template.

It makes sense to me to move this to a web-based configuration, with
introduction of things such as SQL database integration, ASP/PHP
frontend, and the idea of using a drop-down box to select objects (for
example, a drop-down box with words like ROUTER, DNS, etc, for
commonly-used fields)

It was my belief that as there's so many (bright) individuals in this
type of job role that I'd be able to easily find a program that would
do the above. However, after two hours of parsing through results on
Sourceforge and Google, I seem to have come up empty-handed.

As opposed to re-inventing the wheel, I thought it may be useful to
ask how other NOC's handle this type of procedure, and if there's a
program they use to automate some of these daily tasks which are
repeated?

Thanks!

Reinvent the wheel, and charge your employer for it :)
