Nagios-Report-0.002 on CPAN/NagiosExchange.

[Hans Engelen]

Hmm,

it would be a pitty not to develop this thing further. Like you say it
provides the kind of reports management likes and up until now it is the
only way I have found to create biased reporting.

What do I mean ? I mean I don't care about how many hours application or
server xyz was down during the weekend. Those hours are of no importance to
me in terms of management reports. The information and especially metrics
outside of these hours need to be taken for administration purposes of
course. But the weekend is used here for maintenance as is the case in many
places. For my SLA's these hours should not be counted. Up until now your
tool is the only tool I have found that can ignore data based on time-tables
in its reports.

So as far as I am concerned please keep up the good work.

Question though .. DB NEB modules ?

Cheers,
Hans
