Just so everybody is clear. The subordinate charm hides all the link which is exactly what it should do. However in the case of Nagios if you only create a relationship from the nrpe subordinate charm to another charm then Nagios does not monitor the charm. Nagios needs in addition a direct relationship from the Nagios charm to the charm to monitor. My question is: can the Nagios charm do without this extra relationship and just detect the relationships the nrpe subordinate charm has and start monitoring all these charms...
