Not I (but they may exist). > 2) If I were to write my own add-on, what would be the right approach? If I were to develop an external app to do this for a single service, I'd approach it by using an event_handler to log down and up timestamps to a database, then add comments to the database associated with those events. > 3) Could I get the requested availability reporting if I were to > create some weird timeperiod like > '24x7_except_the_times_we_screwed_up', where that timeperiod were to > use 24x7, with exceptions for the downtime that were our fault? Not that I can envision. The simplest, nagios-native approach I can think of is to just add a comment to the service with the detail you want. At the end of each month, review the comments for the service then remove them. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Apps built with the Adobe(R) Flex(R) framework and Flex Builder(TM) are powering Web 2.0 with engaging, cross-platform capabilities.
