Availability report pretty useless

[Nils]

I think the Availabilty report (Reports -> Availability reports) could use some improvements.

Right now, I get a list of 970 items and I need to go and manually choose a period in the filter.
This makes is pretty useless if you want an overview of a period to see if there were any big problems.
It would be significantly better if the availability report looked a bit like the SLA screen: (IT Services)

* A simple dropdown at the top right to choose a period (last week, last month, ...)
* A summary of all hostgroups and the % of time that there were problems (or problem count)
* One level deeper, you'd see the hosts and the % of time they had problems
* Last level would show all triggers for that host with their percentages
* Clicking a link would show the (problem) events for that particular hostgroup/host/trigger during the above defined period
* And it would also be nice if you could filter on trigger severity. So that it only counts the important stuff, and not the informational messages.

So what do you think, should I start coding? :-)

hmm, this does sound like an interesting possible improvement. of course, pre-defined period dropdown should work nicely with custom period selector, and severity filter would somehow work nicely with the ability to expand down to trigger level
