Nagios Support Forum

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

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.
