Introduction

Sometimes you might want to generate the results of Verissimo in a custom format. Common use cases include:

• XML or JSON for feeding results into a database
• CSV for opening the report in a spreadsheet editor
• Plain text for email notifications

to name just a few.

Generating Custom Reports from a FreeMarker Template

For maximum flexibility, custom reports are generated from a FreeMarker template. In the template file, you can easily capture the custom report structure and fill in the desired data using calls to the model provided by Verissimo.

Using the Verissimo Command Line

Once you have the template ready, simply pass it on the Verissimo command line using "-gen custom report". Several custom reports can be generated in a single Verissimo run by specifying multiple templates. The custom report file name is inherited from the template file, except the extension following the last dot.

Accessing the Data Model API

The API available in the data model is documented in the Verissimo User Guide and gives you access to general statistics and summary data, as well as information about each check and each failure.
