Customizing avail.cgi (two questions)

[Richard.A.Childers at wellsfargo.com]

Dear fellow Nagios abusers,


I am trying to figure out how to provide customized views for different
groups, using Nagios.

What I'd like to do is call avail.cgi and deposit the results in
separate directories, then make those separate directories
password-protected by separate htpasswd entries, so that department
heads can log in and see their servers' history, but no one else's.

Is this possible? Is there any way to customize the behavior of
avail.cgi without having to rewrite it (it's a monster)?


Separately, I've been asked to explain (and possibly eliminate) the
replicate numbers on the availability report - you know, you have a
server that's been up 100% of the time, it will have a report saying
something like "100.000%", followed immediately by the same number in
parentheses, "(100.000%)".

What do these numbers in parentheses represent, and why are they there,
seeing as they reflect the same number ('Uptime') that's not in
parentheses? Inquiring minds and all that.


Regards,
