Hi Ayotunde, % known time is the amount of time that Nagios definitely knows the state of the hosts/services. For example if your Nagios system is down for an hour in a 24-hour period (or has no data from result checks to ascertain the state of devices) the % total time will be 100% (24 hours) but the % known time will be 95.8% (23 hours.)
That's how I understand it anyway. Andy Ayotunde Itayemi wrote: > > Hi All, > > Please what’s the difference between "% Total Time" and "% Known Time" > on the NAGIOS interface (availability etc)?
