Automated Bugzilla email reports
by Danilo • March 3, 2009 • Tips • 4 Comments
Bugzilla has a very interesting feature called Whining. With it you can schedule reports to be automatically sent by email to you or anyone else in your team.
As an example, I have sent to me on the weekend a report of all items that were created or worked by our dev team in the past week.
Creating a whining report is pretty easy:
- save a search criteria that interests you (eg. all open items, items closed in X days, etc);
- fing at the bottom of the Bugzilla page a “whining” link;
- create the subject and description of the email;
- select the mailing interval;
- recipients;
- and saved report.
This way you’ll have a nice list on your mailbox with the bugzilla tasks that are most important to you.

It isn’t that way in the current version of bugzilla. It has it’s own page at administration -> whining.
Thanks for introducing me to Bugzilla & of course the Whining feature.
Thank you,
