How do I Configure an Alert on license expiration in x amount of days

One of our objectives is to be able to report on when our licenses/warranties are nearing expiration. How do you configure the filters/alerts to trigger when a license is nearing it's end date in the asset management module? I see options for > & <, and this will work for an individual report where you specify the date, but in order to configure an alert,the system needs to take a difference between today's date and the expiration date.

So, it looks like I should be able to use a system variable, like $DATE. This shows up properly in the filter, but if I try to put something like $DATE + 60 or $DATE -d "60 days" the filter ignores the modification of the variable. What is the syntax to allow for variable modification in the filter dialogs?

You will have to manually edit the SQL with the MySQL functions date functions to get this to work correctly:


http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/date-and-time-functions.html


What I do is setup the filter using the normal drop-downs first to get everything working correctly expect the date and then modify the SQL under the Reports tab.


The main ones to use are:

CURDATE(), DATE_ADD(), and DATE_SUB()

Here is an example to limit the filter to only items that are older than 2 weeks old:

DATE_SUB(CURDATE(), INTERVAL 14 DAY)
