   There are some generic open sourced JAM utilities that produce reports like   
   this but it would't include the dupe stuff and I can't for the life of me   
   remember where to find any of them.   
      
   There may be one or two people who made similar things specifically for Mystic   
   too, but again I don't know what those are I just remember hearing things.   
      
   I can see the IN/OUT messages on a per-base level being a good thing to track   
   and right now it has to come from log parsing MUTIL, so that is one place for   
   some enhancements.  But even if that is tracked internally that still doesn't   
   tell you anything unless you specifically go look.  Maybe what we're really   
   looking for could be some automated notifications when certain things happen?

   If error tracking is your end game then there are some things you may not be   
   aware of, although they are more designed to be   
   hub-based automation features.  Mystic does track things like crash errors,   
   in/out files and bytes via BINKP. You can see all of these stats for each node   
   in the EchoNode Editor whenever you want...   
      
   There is also the "Echo Node Tracker" which will handle all sorts of automated   
   tasks for hubs like resetting stats on time-based intervals, automatically   
   deactivating nodes after periods of inactivity, unsubscribing msg/file bases   
   after automated deactivation, purging outbound packets after inactivity   
   period, automatically swapping from "crash" to hold-type mail delivery after a   
   certain   
   number of days of errors or overall error threshhold, etc.   
      
   But again all of that either happens automatically or requires you to make the   
   effort to go look yourself.  Perhaps we need to build in notifications?   
      
   Open to any ideas of course, if you (or anyone else) has them.
