Create the availability you want to be static in Nagios. Find the
complete url for the page (in I.E., right click on the availability
report frame and select properties); for a services availability report
using the default options it'll be something like:

http://your.nagios.host/cgi-bin/avail.cgi?show_log_entries=&service=all&
timeperiod=last7days&smon=8&sday=1&syear=2004&shour=0&smin=0&ssec=0&emon
=8&eday=2&eyear=2004&ehour=24&emin=0&esec=0&assumeinitialstates=yes&assu
mestateretention=yes&initialassumedstate=0&backtrack=4

Create a little script that uses wget to grab the page --

Mystaticreport.sh:

#/bin/sh

# Get the page with wget, saving it as a temp file
/usr/bin/wget --http-user nagiosloginuser --http-passwd
nagiosloginpassword -O /path/to/put/page/somereportname.tmp.$$ -q
"http://your.nagios.host/cgi-bin/avail.cgi?show_log_entries=&service=all
&timeperiod=last7days&smon=8&sday=1&syear=2004&shour=0&smin=0&ssec=0&emo
n=8&eday=2&eyear=2004&ehour=24&emin=0&esec=0&assumeinitialstates=yes&ass
umestateretention=yes&initialassumedstate=0&backtrack=4" 

# Atomically move the file. You might want to put some error checking
here.
mv /path/to/put/page/somereportname.tmp.$$
/path/to/put/page/somereportname.html
exit(0)

That's it. Very basic, does no error checking. I've been doing this to
create the summary pages for about two years now with no noticable
problems.
