Downtime and uptime duration

[TadejT]

Hi,

I have problem gettin info about previous state duration.
For example, when i gate alert about host is down I would like to know how long it was up and vice-versa.

I tried with $LASTHOSTDOWN$ but it returned 0 value.

Can someone help me?

Best regards

Tadej

Are you using $LASTHOSTDOWN$ from a service check? On service checks you would want to use $LASTSERVICECRITICAL$

If you want to know the last time it was UP you would use:
$LASTHOSTUP$

and for a service
$LASTSERVICEOK$

I use $LASTHOSTUP$ and $LASTHOSTDOWN$.

But for example on recovery, when host is UP, I always get similar time. It is somehow logical because last time down it was just before reocvery.

I would just like to know how long was host DOWN when I get RECOVERY notification.

Thanks

Hmm, I would think you would want something like

Code: Select all

$LASTHOSTDOWN$ - $LASTHOSTCHECK$

Hm, I will try but wouldn't this return time between last check and last time down?

I would need time between last host down and "first".

[scottwilkerson]

$LASTHOSTCHECK$ will be the last time the host was checked, which should be the check that produced the recovery.

so
$LASTHOSTDOWN$ - $LASTHOSTCHECK$ = seconds host was down

I tried but diffrence is about one minutor or less, what is logical because $LASTHOSTDOWN$ is just before recover and not time when device went to DOWN state.

I see the problem, but unfortunately there isn't a macro that defines what you are looking for.

As mentioned before, there is no macro for getting duration of a previous state.
