I was asked a related question.  For our SLA, I need the "Availability Report" 
in a printable version.  And only a subset of the checks (ping is the most 
important).  The layout can be simple, only the numbers is a start.

Of course, it it looks pretty (not just a bunch a of % but some pie charts or 
graphs), that's a surplus.
It would also be great if I can exclude the maintenance windows out of the 
calculations.
