I think you've made a very cool thing here. I'm trying to develop a general approach to admining a bunch of Drupal sites. We're working on a sort of an info panel. Control is another issue. Information is way more important than creating cross network controls. You have to first know what you need to control and right now the pieces seem scatered around . Also the information needs to be made available on one page or one page with highly imporant info and one click access to more in depth views. Having some information here and some there is much less usefull. Of almost no use is having to go to the site because its just time consuming and moreover you don't know what you can't see.

This module might be the best way to unify the information across the network.

I don't know the mechanics of xstatistics but it would be a great place to start. I'm also trying to figure out how to produce some kind of feed for showing when cron.php was last fired or cron was actually completed on the sites. Finally some kind of feed for errors or gross numbers of errors. I know this isn't simple but I wanted to throw it out there. Thanks again for the module. Its great.

The next thing I was planning on adding was for a filtered watchdog report. That is the report that you see on the admin/logs page. You would be able to set it up to create the RSS feed with filters both for type of message and level of message. I think this would do most of what you suggested.

I think it will be pretty easy to do, and I think this would get you most of what you had suggested.

I had originally considered a very specialized cross-site information/control module, but decided that creating a simple feed would actually be a better way to do it for me.

That sounds fantastic.

Look at this url and more particularly the other on it contains regarding the cron.php update and time stats. I know this seems off topic but its not. If that was part of the feed -- last cron run and time -- it would be killer.

Version: 4.6.x-1.x-dev » master

Bumping to current version.

The adminrss for logs has been separated to its own issue: http://drupal.org/node/128835

Other features discussed seem to point to an interest for extensibility to the base adminrss modules: instead of adding yet more code for each additional module, it might be better to:

  • either add a set of submodules, to be activated independently by sites using the relevant additional contrib modules
  • or create a hook_adminrss allowing various modules to take advantage of the adminrss feed generation mechanism to provide this feature to their users

The second direction might be more in the spirit of Drupal. Any opinions out there ?

Webgeer, you assigned the issue to yourself at the time this issue appeared. Did you go further with it ?

Title: RSS feed for Xstatistics » RSS feed for various sources: make AdminRSS extensible.
Version: master » 7.x-1.x-dev
Assigned: webgeer » Unassigned

Unassigning after 6 years, retagging to current version.

Xstatistics died after Drupal 5, but the basic idea of making the module more extensible makes more sense than ever: changing subject accordingly.
