Hey there, I noticed there isn't a prewritten check for graphing the 
uptime of clients?, or is that under connection instead?

have a look at the bottom of the 'trends' - it's named clock offset.

I don’t think he’s looking for clock offset.

You’re correct, there is no graph.  It would be easy enough to write one, but there isn’t one today.  What would be the point?  There is a way to make uptime appear as a separate column though, then you can alert on it and write your graph.  Edit tasks.cfg  and change the xymond_channel line to look like this:

CMD xymond_channel --channel=client xymond_client --uptime-status

I think, there isn't one, because there's probably not much interest
in. It will be only a saw-tooth curve.

The only gain I see is a visual representation of reboot times and
complete downtimes (i.e. not only network outages).

I personally don't need a graphical representation of that data and
have uptimed (https://github.com/rpodgorny/uptimed/, also packaged in
Debian and Ubuntu at least) installed for the other mentioned purposes.

		Kind regards, Axel Beckert
