Nagios Reports

Post by easy2kent »

I have a question about the reports Nagios gives out. When I put Hosts into a hostgroups it lists services at 100% OK when I view as a hostgroup but when I view the report of the host itself, the report shows more exact numbers such as 98.789% OK which is true over the time period.

Is there a reason for this? Is it because the hostgroup pie includes all of the other hosts and just rounds up to the nearest percent?

Are the host groups large? Because I could certainly see the 100% error happening. I'm not sure when the switch from 99.9999... goes to 100, but it has to exist and that may be what you're facing.

Thanks for the reply,

That is what I assumed. The hostgroups are small though but even with more than one host I can see there being roundoffs. I just wondered if there was a reason for it or there was a way to change it. I will just do the reports of all the hosts individually and put them together.
Appreciate the quick answer
