Report deeper graphs?

[Gerd Aschemann]

Assume I have a tree with depth 3-4 in my graph, e.g., a number of (DNS) domains, each with a number of hosts, each host with a number of servces, each service with a number of clients etc.

Background: I am about to extend the jQA YAML2-Plugin to scan Ansible roles and playbooks to gain this information.

Now I would like to generate a number of reports about my graph, e.g., 

• The list of domians,
• for each domain the list of hosts,
• for each host the list of services

The reports should be linked, e.g., from the list of domains I would like to have a hyperlink to the respective detailed report for the domain.

Is it possible with jQA currently? If not (what I assume from my looks into the source code), what would be a good approach to address this? To be honest, in the end I would like to make use of a template engine to have maximum freedom to design my reports. So it might end up, creating PoJos from the graph and then feed them into FreeMarker or Groovy templates. 

This might allow to generate AsciiDoc or other file formats which could be more flexible to integrate with overall project reports than the current usage of `index.adoc` files in jQA and direct rendering to HTML.

What do you think?

Hi Gerd,

as far as I understand the request this is not (yet) possible with jQA.
But it sounds like a report plugin being able to fill templates (which
would be very tempting!). Can you provide a (synthetic) example on the
source structure (YAML files) and the desired report?

Cheers

Dirk
