Actually, I thought Nagios worked in the way that Marc described. If you have a NOC which is acknowledging alerts, actively disabling service checks then I suppose this isn't too much of a problem. Might be nice to see more configurability with regard to the way Nagios works, I doubt we will see any changes into a stable version for quite a while though. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
