I was aware, that you can do this csv output when selecting all services
or all hosts. As wehave about 500 Hosts and 3000 Services, this is no
option when you want to make a report for the last 90 days.
As I said, there had been a patch for this, which I already applied to
my old Nagios Installation, but I didn't save this patch, and don't know
where I can download it.

When this patch would have been applied to the avail.cgi, I wouldn't
have the problem I got now ;)

I know, I already had to fight with this Problem, but I think that this
bug is fixed in 2.1.

As I said obove, the patch had already been developed, so you don't need
to sink hundrets of hours to apply it. I'm totally aware of the Nagios
Roadmap. But I'm not expecting Nagios 3.0 to be released in the near
future.

Hmm, would be nice to see, when you tell this to your customers :-)
