I could be completely wrong, but I've always thought total time
includes the time even before you started monitoring.  For example, if
you started monitoring something yesterday, but you run an availabilty
report for the last 30 days, the % total time might be only 3 or so
but the % known time might be 100.

I've always assumed % total time isn't very helpful, so would normally
only report %known time to management.

Cheers,

Jim
