Maybe you can solve your issue already on the plugin level: - If you want to evaluate the state of existing Nagios services take a look onto check_cluster.
- If you want to cover more sophisticated setups and be able to do a fine granulated evaluation of the results of your child checks you can also take check_multi (http://www.my-plugin.de/wiki/projects/check_multi/start) , which is mainly written for Nagios 3, but also works with Nagios 2. The state evaluation topic is handled in the 'Process Views' page (http://www.my-plugin.de/wiki/projects/check_multi/process_views) HTH - Matthias Flacke ----- original message -------- Subject: [Nagios-users] Propagating Service Changes Sent: Wed, 02 Jan 2008 From: Mohr James<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Hi All! > > First off my apologies.
