This isn't really something I'd be looking for as a feature request.

You'll probably get a much better response asking for some help writing a report that will get this information for you in the "Reports Lab" within the "Labs" Space

I've actually experienced a lot of ideas on the subject, what I got was a report on when it was down only ,but what I also need is how long time an interface or node was down so that we can evaluate the performance of service providers and do some analysis on the network and connecting lines.

I get that information several ways:

Cisco switchports keep a local log of up/down/last in-out. It's easy to check a single port via SSH, but you want a bunch of ports, right?
UDT (if you own it) has this kind of information in a report, sorted by node, called "UDT Unused Ports". I don't like it as well as I might, but it serves as a guide for ideas to modify or build your own reports.
I wrote & shared instructions for how to get discover down ports on individual switches/chasses/stacks, and sort the report by length of down time for each port. You can access it here: How to create a report displaying the Last Time Data was Transmitted or Received on a Switch Port

If you get the desired Feature Request in a new release, I salute you!

If you end up building a beautiful report that fills your needs (and that data IS available in the Orion SQL database, readily mined with SWQL and viewed via the SDK), I think we'd all like to see your results and learn how you built that report.
