this is what i have ended up doing. My solution might not be precisely as 
accurate as a ping uptime but it works. 

I created a datasource command to test a webpage and do a content check for an 
string I know should only display if everything is running properly. This check 
runs every 5 minutes. And what I am doing for my uptime report is to calculate 
how many minutes we have been monitoring that machine, then calculate how many 
minutes there were with errors within that time frame and find a percentage 
based on those numbers. 

It would be awesome if something like that could be built in to zenoss so i 
didnt have to take the data into excell and do calculations on it. You might  
be able to do this with a custom report but I have had issues with creating 
them, and the data never seems to match up with the graphs?

If there is an easier way I am very open to suggestions.

Thanks
