avail.cgi has _always_ done CSV output (as long as you choose 
all hosts or all services).

It's up to you to filter the CSV by any means you care to choose.

If you want some help, try 

- either putting all the CSV records in a DB and use SQL

  (if you are serious about reporting you prob want to do this).

- Nagios::Report

  (munges and filters the CSV from avail.cgi).

Patches welcome.

BTW, there are bugs in avail.cgi relating to scheduled down time
that are probably more important than this.

I probably didn't do your letter justice. It seems on reflection that 
you meant you want the patch for avail.cgi that generates CSV from
a specific availability report eg a new link in the report for 
a host or service that does CSV.

However, I think it has been made pretty clear from the Nag roadmap that
the CGIs have been end of lifed and will be replaced by PHP. I think
that
is a much better use of scare developer resources than trying
to fix difficult and fragile code.

As Radia Perlman said about sub-optimal routing, 'people should be
grateful
that their data is delivered at all'.

Yours sincerely.
