Using Zabbix Agent Ping to monitor employee working time

[mtrk]

Hello,

I am new to Zabbix and just installed and did some experiment with that. This is a great tool and I hope to use this for the following idea.

I just have an idea to use Zabbix to monitor our employees in/out time so I can track their productivity hours. I think we can use Zabbix Agent Ping to track when each employee pc get online (In time) and then when they turn off the pc I can calculate their out time since we are not getting ping request to the server. Also since we are maintaining the PC sleep mode (battery power plan) I can track (and reduce) the hours they are using for lunch and tea break. I just able to create a graph to visualize the ping time but I don't have an idea to create a total hours report or graph for all the employees. Can someone please help me if this is possible?

Regards,
Tharaka

Hello. I'd like to see Nagios move into having features in being able to monitor user activity mostly to save me having to have yet another 3rd party product to monitor staff.
