We're using our own home-brewed version of Availability and SLA reporting.
We had a look at what was out there and a lot of testing determined that
none of them scaled as well as what we'd hoped. Instead we had to write
our own, which uses quite a lot of tricks to get 100% accurate numbers
while at the same time supporting huge installations with rather modest
disk space, memory and cpu power requirements.

It uses an API to get the figures, so if you have some other tool where
you can feed raw numbers and get reports formatted specifically to your
needs (instead of barcharts, piecharts and fairly boring numbers), that
would work too.

You can download the sources from http://www.op5.org. There's a sandbox
set up at www.op5.com/sandbox where you can create reports to see how
it works and looks. Contact me off-list if you want a password without
registering.

Let me know if you need help getting started.

Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and
terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war
on peace.
