Reports using NDOutils?

[Marcel Mitsuto Fucatu Sugano]

I'm personally glad to hear that!

I am waiting for same sort of thing as well. I am doing some researching
around NDOUtils too, 'cause I'll need Nagios to watch over Service Level
Agreement thresholds. 

Also, it would be nice to have some way of telling the availability
report that if we have a cluster of servers (let's say, 12 machines),
and that cluster's service is Highly Available with at least 10 servers
up'n running, considering that SLB/CSM hardware don't reach MAXCONN and
we have sorry servers to take over when any other fails, the service
availability could be calculated considering that fact. Is it what
check_cluster* does? I mean, is it possible to have service availability
five nines, even when one or two servers get down, if we know that the
service weren't unavailable?

Also happening exactly like that here.

Well, considering that only state changes matters, it isn't that crazy.

You mean NagiosGrapher, n2rrd, or other graphing tools out there?

Well, it is valuable for the sake of trending and estimating capacity,
to have those graphs, but not all services should be graphed. IMHO,
cacti has been doing a great job graphing things, so Nagios is
exclusively running for alerts and notifications.
