Show date in header as yesterday and / or Last month

[mpdredd]

I already have a script that copies a days or a months worth of data to a database and pulls a report on it (works rather well too!) The question that I have is there any way within Log Analyzer to set the date variables to to show for a previous day or month?

Right now I use:
Daily_Report_%YYYY%-%MM%-%DD%
Monthly_Report_%YYYY%-%MM%

Both of which show the date the report was run and not the date the report is for. Previously I have resorted to changing the system time on the computer I was doing the reports from, but now that I am doing the reports from the server I do not have that luxury. I though maybe I could use a user defined variable but I really didn't see anything that I could mold into what I want to do. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in Advance,

Raymond

Sorry, there is no such variable. However, you may try to use %DateInterval% variable. Quote from the manual:
http://www.ks-soft.net/hostmon.eng/la/index.htm#RepMan
==============================
%DateInterval% - Information about date interval that was analyzed. E.g. "01/01/04 - 01/15/04" or "May 2005" (when the date interval covers one full month from the first to last day thereof, the variable will contain only the name of the month and year).

Actually I think that may work given the way that I am pulling the reports. I will give it a shot this evening and let you know.

Thanks,
