Yes, but if NRPE is a real parent (ie, a binary check to see that the agent is running), there's no way it will fail without also making App check1 failing. A bigger question though is why you'd want to. If something serves the proper html page over the network, does it really matter to you if App checkX is working? > eg NRPE dies so service1 alerts are suppressed, but "service3" will > alert if needed. > But if "App check1" fails (but not NRPE) "HTTP check1" will not alert? I should think so, but that depends on how we decide to implement it. A service that returns OK when its parent has returned non-OK is obviously misconfigured (since it really shouldn't be ok with a non-OK parent), but there's no real reason to dive deeper than a single level for parenting checks. We can just let users shoot themselves in the foot with misconfigured parent chains and ignore all multi-depth traversals completely. -- Andreas Ericsson andreas.erics...@op5.se OP5 AB www.op5.se Tel: +46 8-230225 Fax: +46 8-230231 Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war on peace. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What Every C/C++ and Fortran developer Should Know!
