Subject: Re: [Nagiosplug-help] Regarding Reports in Nagios

So does this mean that the hours that are shown in Event Duration are the only 
entries for a particular host and is it that only for that many hours I get the 
data ?

The summary data above this section is 'accurate'. The entries you  
note are points at which you are restarting nagios I expect and you  
have log_initial_states enabled in nagios.cfg.

When generating this list, nagios looks through nagios.log (or the  
archives) for any entries matching the host/service, calculates the  
times between them and displays them. The state does not factor into  
this particular calculation. There are features of nagios where that  
wouldn't be desired (state stalking, for example).

Nagios does not normally log OK states unless it is a recovery from an  
outage so under 'normal' circumstances, the breakout list would be  
more like what you are expecting. Turn off 'log_initial_states' to do  
that.

I am not too sure with your above comments. The only thing that I need to 
furnish to my manager is to let him know the exact Availability of a particular 
service or host for a particular month, etc. Is this possible and if yes how ? 
I am using Nagios Version 3.0.3 on Linux.

The event duration is simply the time between log entries related to  
that host/service.
