The interval is the time between the end of a cycle and the start of the next cycle. If we would set this interval to be the time between the start of cycle_N and the start of cycle_N+1 then we would have a problem if the time that the cycle takes is longer then the interval time.

If the time between checks was taken from the start of the last check run rather than the end then SALIVE should give some more accurate results for those who wish to monitor uptime with it. Currently I have my time between checks set to 3 minutes, and since my checks take about 2 minutes, I know that I'm measuring in roughly 5 minute blocks. But as I add more checks during the year and I have some take longer or shorter than others, The 5 minutes can take longer or shorter. If the time between checks was changed to measure from the start of the check rather than the end, I could set it to 5 minutes and KNOW that I will see the check once every 5 minutes. The only issue could be if my check run extended beyond 5 minutes.

The UID is at least for me useless for any report. Ad to MOM: the SA is less accurate because a cycle takes ~5 mins. During that period some fast system could go to BSOD, restart and boot up without any notice. This is not case of the MOM as it have agent installed on the monitored server and update period is more frequent.

What is the use of the UID then? And in what way is the logging less accurate then what MOM does?

I find that the output from the SA is not suifficent. I mean we get only UID which si useless unless you pair it with another db (salive statistical logging) to get hostname and prettyname. Would be possible to add these 2 fields into uptime monitoring table? That would make a lot easier showing uptime for any manager ;) I've modified pretty easy asp script http://saug.snarkybox.com/index.php?topic=14.0 and get decent results. And I think it is good for for basic monitoring of systems uptime and to present some SLA (KPIs). For the accurate uptime monitoring I'm using MOM2005 but the licencing is pretty expensive so I'd like to stick w/ the SA for most of the systems.
