Nagios Reporting

[fran.pastor]

Hello, I have a question regarding the reporting. When I do an availability report (or other), I see that the report starts showing a week before the start date, this confuses my users enough.
For example, I indicated to make a custom report from day 4 until day 31, see below:

04-12-2012 00:00:00 to 01-01-2013 00:00:00
Duration: 28d 0h 0m 0s

Is this normal? and if so, why?

Is this normal? and if so, why?

It needs to do this to determine the state at the beginning of the period. So Nagios is looking back to determine when the last state change was reported.
