    Good availability reporting

    How about on developing good availability reports:

    - Service Tree definition (composed of triggers)
    - SLA definition over service trees (not IT services based)
    - Outage period SLA breakage justification for exclusion
    - Good SLA account
    - Generating PDF reports (from templates)

    We'd be willing to contribut€ to make this happen.

    IT Services's output doesn't seem to give an accurate output on both availability and number of "outages". Also it's not true multi-tenant (the empty trees will show even to users without access to any of the triggers under it).

    We'd want something trustable where we could build a logical tree of dependencies, and with event data plus, taking into account maintenance periods and some manual SLA breakage justification, would generate availability data for periods (week, month, year) and match that against defined minimum SLAs, reporting over it and generating PDF from template.

    To me IT services is the way to go, since it's intended to do service / SLA monitoring.
    Instead of creating an additional possibly very similar framework in Zabbix, I'd suggest to fix IT services

    Personally I consider these (existing tickets) the most annoying ones:
    • ZBX-8588 - There is no uniquenes criteria in popups of IT services
    • ZBX-9188 - SLA of parent service not well calculated when a child service has a downtime configured.
    • ZBXNEXT-25 - IT Services month overviews
    • ZBXNEXT-59 - Multi Tenant Enable IT Services
    • ZBXNEXT-1673 - Possibility to manipulate SLA by adding corrections
    • ZBXNEXT-2405 - Toggle switch to expand and collapse all it services


    As for reporting I'd rather like to see better integration (Zabbix API) into established report engines like JasperReports, Pentaho, BIRT, etc.
    See comments in ZBXNEXT-248.
