I like the sound of that. I agree with you on the passive vs active issue. I often find that setting something up active gets me where I need to go faster and then I never get back to finding a passive way to do it. We'll need to make the modification to each of the VM's (~200) but I think that will do what I want. I'll take a look at doing that. Thank you very much!

There's another solution: you could setup a logon script that sends an nsca every time a user login to the server. Then, you can check the service freshness against a 1 or 2 days threshold. It's a completely different approach, but I prefer to use passive checks when I need to trigger user created events, as I think it makes more sense (and less load and traffic) than checking continously the logs.
