Oh mighty list,
I am curious what tools you use to generate monthly usage and billing
reports for your execs?  I am not really looking for a RRD type
solution, rather a page I can pull up and gives me the numbers (95p,
cost, overage, etc.) for the past month.  Copy and paste into a
spreadsheet, job complete....

We are getting to the point where we have multiple datacenters and
numerous uplinks and circuits for each, I find I am spending too many
hours each month compiling data.

I was thinking about writing some quick scripts to poll the router
interfaces and put it to database, but I figured I would ask before
re-inventing the wheel.

Thanks in advance!
Isaac
