Scheduled vs. Unscheduled downtime in Availability Reports

[Paulus, Jake]

Good afternoon!

 

We are starting to use availability reports as a metric for our IT
Operations groups' performance and we are running into a minor snag -
the overall availability report for a hostgroup doesn't distinguish
between scheduled and unscheduled downtime. I am sure this data is
available in the nagios logs as this information is presented in the
availability report for a specific host. I have found a thread on this
list talking about just what I am asking about here
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.network.nagios.devel/3638/focus=3651 but
the patches offered in that thread go quite a bit further than I am
ready to since it looks like they are calculating SLA data for each host
and also doing special stuff with nagios logs to make the reports work
better.

 

Has anyone here already encountered this need and produced a patch that
I haven't found yet? What I need is a column for scheduled downtime in
the hostgroup availability report and that scheduled downtime removed
from the value in parenthesis for total downtime similar to how the
undetermined time is removed. Writing a few check scripts is fun and
exciting but when I open avail.c I have to say it looks a little
daunting. We're currently running nagios 2.10 but we're getting ready to
move to 3.0.2 so if you know of something for 3.0.2, that would just
help motivate me to upgrade faster.

 

Thank you for your time,
