We use NSCA for a large number of service checks (we don't use NRPE) and it works just fine for us. > It's not a particularly bad idea, but you'll have to accept that you don't > get nagios' "check max_check_attempts times before sending alerts" logic, > unless you implement it yourself. You do get that logic, you can specify max_check_attempts just as for active checks. You just don't get a retry_check_interval different from the normal_check_interval unless you implement it yourself. For us, that's not a problem, as we don't want a different retry_check_interval anyway (for most checks, we submit check results once a minute). But if you rely on this Nagios feature, that's a real drawback of NSCA, yes.
