No. For the Service Log Entries section of the Availability report, nagios is just displaying all log entries related to that host/service that it finds. It's providing that information, and the duration between pairs of entries, in the event that information is useful to you and to provide you with the context for the Service State Breakdowns displayed above that section. The Service State Breakdowns section of the Availability report *is* aware of states and duration between states, not just log entries. If nagios sees consecutive log entries with the same state, it knows that the service was in that state for the entire duration. For example, with log entries of -- 1:00 OK 2:00 CRITICAL 3:33 CRITICAL 4:00 OK 5:10 OK 6:00 CRITICAL Nagios would correctly report that the service was OK for 3 hours and CRITICAL for 2+ hours (ongoing) in the Service State Breakdowns section of the report. > I am not too sure with your above comments.

Yes, certainly. Provide him with the information from the Service State Breakdowns section of a specific service availability report or run the general Availability report for all services available from the main menu. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
