CereusReporting v1.10 - Availaibility and SLA reporting

Post by phalek »

An enhanced Availability and SLA reporting will be included in the next Release of CereusReporting v1.10. The addon will contain the following features :

* per device configurable SLA threshold
* planed downtime events will not count against SLA
* SLA TimeFrames can be defined (e.g SLA measured only from 08:00-17:00, Mon-Fri )

The addon will be made available for the Express edition as a paid addon.

See the attached image for an example of the Availability Chart created and the SLA TimeFrame Setting used for the Chart.

Here's the result of a first autmatically generated graph based on cacti data ( based on 1 hour polling data ... ).

Some more information on this feature:

* Availability data is available for: poll interval, hourly, daily, weekly, monthly and yearly
* The granularity will be reduced after a user defined period ( e.g. only 4 days of polling interval data be stored )
* "Availability Groups" can be created for e.g. Showing the overall availability of "All Mail Servers"

Another Screenshot of the Availability Chart integrated into the Cacti Tree View page. As can be seen, the Availaiblity displayed is calculated using live data.

Did you tie that into up/down or is it tied directly to an RRD source? Let me know if you need help testing... i have tons of CPE gear that i monitor with AdvancedPing.

First of all

Development: As I am focusing on mobile cleints to view graphs/thold info and up/down hosts on Windows Mobile and BlackBerry devices i did put development on Hold for the moment.

Nevertheless, as demands on this seem to ris, I will continue to work on it soon.

For now, only the graph creation and display of the graph within the Cacti Tree view page has been completed, there is no mnaagement interface yet for adding scheduled downtime information or other things like this.

For the source data, I use the built in cacti up/down detection, but store the data within the database so I can add information on it.

Availability is calculated on that data, and the data can be configured to be compressed much like RRD does ( e.g. for 2 weeks 5-minute data, afterwards data is compressed to hourly data, then to daily, weekly .... )

A table with availability data can now be displayed beneath the graph. The data is always limited to the start and end time of the graph.
