Hi

Please can somebody share ideas in how to plot in a graph server uptime, in other words a graph showing when the system was down and was up again.

Have a look at the thread below, they describe various ways:

You may use "glance" or "glance Plus" as well
for the GUI mode and various performance graphs.

Thanks

We've used Xymon for several years to track uptime, along with lots of other items. It's pretty simple to manage and has a lot of useful monitoring and alerting features.

Hi!

Thank you for your contributions, what I did was to use a script that pings the server every 5 minutes, then create a file with 3 colums, namely date, down and up, and use gnuplot to create a bar graph
