What availability does it measure? The one associated with the host check or all services + host check combined?

For clarification, let's say I have this report:

server01 - 95% availability

95% availability of what? Services? Host checks?

It is going to depend on what you select in step 1 but if you select Host, AND select a particular host it will give you a breakdown of the services, otherwise it is just showing the availability of the host.

Ok! That's great.

I've been using the legacy availability report as a SLA report. A small python script logs onto the system, retrieves the report, converts it to pdf and then e-mails it to our NOC. However, we've had a problem with some of our hosts, which displayed weird uptimes ( like 99.993% ) during business hours although there's no indication of alerts in the logs. When I'm viewing the Host Alert logs, the only alert I see within the time span is:

[01-21-2013 10:09:03] Nagios 3.4.1 starting... (PID=17949)
Program End[01-21-2013 10:09:00] Caught SIGTERM, shutting down...

Is this really included in the host availability report ? Is there any other way to see what the report is based on?

Kind regards,
William

this shouldn't affect it.

What settings are you using?
Are you setting
First Assumed Host State: = UP
First Assumed Service State = OK
