There is a Perl module that someone I know wrote that does this). (There is also the built-in bog standard nagstats but this only gives the summary. You could also fetch status.dat by ssh and parse it. Not very difficult.) 2 Use a Database populated by NDOUtils (the standard Nag way of adding DB support) This in my view is the way to go. NDOUTils for nothing populates tables with 2.1 configuration data 2.2 outage data You can select from ... where ... to your hearts content. If you didn't want to bite the 2.x/3.x/NDOUtils snack, you could have a global host event handler that adds records to an outage table.
