Good day,
I am currently running the Trial version of Nagios XI 2012R1.7 (anticipating the move to a full version soon), and was having a bit of issue attempting to setup monitoring and reporting on a number of Cisco routers. I am looking to compare the device uptime (last reboot/etc) to the device's reachability (loss of connection back to the Nagios server). Using the SNMP Wizard and the Bulk Host Wizard, I was able to quickly set up multiple hosts and services for various devices. I have a ping test configured with 5 minute polls to monitor reachability, and I am pulling the device uptime via SNMP.
With SNMP, I am able to get the uptime for each device, but the service state will change when reachability is lost, giving "SNMP problem - No data received from host". My "Uptime" service's "Duration" actually reports the last drop in reachability, and the "Status Information" reports device uptime (ex. SNMP OK - Timeticks: (11379975) 1 day, 7:36:39.75). Reports run to compare the uptime vs. reachability come back about the same each time. Would there be a way for me to reconfigure my "Uptime" service, or build a new service, to incorporate all or part of the "Status Information" in a report?
Any info or help would be appreciated.
Monitoring/Reporting Cisco uptime
Re: Monitoring/Reporting Cisco uptime
There currently is no easy way of doing this. My suggestion would be to use graph explorer to build the two graphs you need and export them to a raster/vector image to be included on the same report. Something like selenium may be able to automate this. Feel free to open up a feature request at: tracker.nagios.com for said feature.

Re: Monitoring/Reporting Cisco uptime
In the Graph Explorer, it does not appear that the service "Uptime" is an option to select, only the Host and service "Ping". If it would be possible to display the Uptime via the Graph Explorer, that would (at least temporarily) suit our needs.
I will create a feature request on tracker.nagios.com after creating a login/etc. Thank you for the assistance.
