Nagios Support Forum

We're looking for a way to report how long an outage lasts, but currently there doesn't seem to be a way to do that. We can run a state history report to see when the site (router) went down and then when it came back up, but the only way to caluclate the total outage time is to manually calculate it using that info. We'd like the ability to run a report that shows the up/down states for a host and also calculates the duration of the time between the down states and the next up state to give us a total outage time.

Something that gets you close to what you're asking for might be the legacy host and service availability reports.
From my example server, you can see that it was down for most of the last 24 hours:
Otherwise, you can pull data out of the API and write something on your own to format it however you need to:
http://nagiosxiserver/nagiosxi/help/api ... ailability
and
http://nagiosxiserver/nagiosxi/help/api ... ailability


Does that help?

Yeah this kind of works. It's a bit cludgy, though, since if you run this report on a hostgroup it only gives percentage but not the total time for each host. It should work for now, though.

Hi @snapon_admin,

Although not perfect, glad that you will work. Are we ok to close this thread or do you have any other questions?
