Is there any way that I can generate a graph over time of my Host Status and Service Status Summaries? In particular, I'd like to get a record over time of the changing number of hosts down, and changing number of services in critical. Want to watch and graph these status summaries:

Hello @gregbeyer,

Thank you for reaching out!

Currently, there is no graph or chart that displays the information you are requesting. I am submitting a feature request for this, though I cannot provide a time estimate on when said feature would be implemented.


If you have any other questions, comments, or concerns, feel free to reach out!

Thanks much.

Hi @gregbeyer,

This is not exactly what you requested as it does not strictly chart object statuses in terms of up, down, warning, etc. but the multistacked performance graph in the Graph Explorer allows you to view host and service statuses over time for multiple objects.

Your feature request will remain open but perhaps this can give you some of the functionality you are looking for.

Thank you!

In Graph Explorer, there are two charts that could be leveraged for the chart I'm looking for. Host Health and Service Health give a snapshot of health at this moment in time, but requires eyes-on-glass. Add to that the option of a line chart, as other Graph Explorer charts. And collect the snapshot numbers into a time-series table, as is all other perf charts XI already does, and you've got a much more useful health chart. Trends, what happened over weekends/holidays/overnight. Sudden loss of a bunch of nodes which then recover by the time we're looking at console again is something to get to the bottom of. Thanks.
