Have a look at the mailing list archive:

Should provide you with the necessary tool and information.
(at least I hope so)

Greetings,

I have nagios 2.x installed on Solaris 10 monitoring ~100 hosts, and ~1000 services. I am collecting perfdata,

As the admin/engineer, I'm quite happy with the http interface for checking the status of systems and knowing what needs to get fixed/looked at. I installed/configured nagios originally for my benefit anyways, as part of a data center "lights out" effort.

The problem:
Management saw the website (I blame myself, screensaver is my new best friend). We all know what happens when suits get involved... yes, they want a daily report. Apparently clicking on a link, and logging into a website is too much work.

My first solution:
Heh, I'd snap a screen print of a custom report, and mail it. Life was good, until I went on vacation.

My second solution:
Google, google, google. I'm surprised that I still cannot snap a txt formatted host up/down for 'report period' (in my case 7am-5pm defined in the cfg's) without using cacti, rrdtool, or any other add-ons.

My third solution:
I'm giving in to rrdtool (I think). It seems like a lot more work than I want to invest, but I can perl/shell script it and crontab it, so the suits get thier daily eye candy, and I can go back on vacation.

My questions:
- Is there a better way I haven't thought of, or found?
- Is there an EASIER way I haven't thought of, or found?
- HALP!
- Any off the cuff suggestions? Aside from screensavers.

Thanks much in advance,
-Marc
