[Nagios-users] Difference between % Total Time and % Known Time
Hi All, Please what's the difference between % Total Time and % Known Time on the NAGIOS interface (availability etc)? The two values usually appear together e.g., as Total Time % (Known Time %) If reporting to management for example, which value should be reported? The staff in my monitoring unit (and myself :-) are a little confused as to which of the two values represent availability for example. Thanks.

Re: [Nagios-users] Difference between % Total Time and % Known Time
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)?

Dirk You are using the wrong plugin. check_smtp does not understand SSL-protected SMTP. Use the check_ssmtp plugin instead; that is what I am using for this purpose. The -S option turns on TLS (also known as starttls), not SSL. They are *almost* the same, with one critical difference: with TLS, the initial conversation (the EHLO and one or two more commands and responses) occurs in plain text, and THEN the client and the server negotiate encryption. That way, you can run encrypted and unencrypted traffic at the same time over the same port (25 or 587). On port 465, the server turns on encryption first, and then expects the EHLO to already be encrypted. -- Kevin Keane Owner The NetTech Find the Uncommon: Expert Solutions for a Network You Never Have to Think About Office: 866-642-7116 http://www.4nettech.com This e-mail and attachments, if any, may contain confidential and/or proprietary information.

2009/3/21 Ayotunde Itayemi ayotunde.itay...@zain.com: Hi All, Please what’s the difference between % Total Time and % Known Time on the NAGIOS interface (availability etc)? I could be completely wrong, but I've always thought total time includes the time even before you started monitoring. For example, if you started monitoring something yesterday, but you run an availabilty report for the last 30 days, the % total time might be only 3 or so but the % known time might be 100. I've always assumed % total time isn't very helpful, so would normally only report %known time to management.
