Hi Marc,

But if i aggregate the result, then at Nagios, i won't be able to give
warnings to a specific check. Doesn't Nagios only accept 1 state of output
(Ok-Warning-Unknown-Critical) ?

Sorri, i was just hiting the reply button and it sends to you only. Hope
this also helps others who have the same challenge as me :-)

Thanks,
Adi Yesaya

I never suggested changing max_concurrent_check but rather
service_interleave_factor. They're definitely different beasts. As for
other suggestions...

- Create one or more plugins that then run multiple plugins sequentially
and aggregate the results following the plugin guidelines
(http://nagiosplug.sf.net) for reporting back to nagios. These new
plugins would be the service checks you tell nagios to run.
- or, disable parallelization entirely and force nagios to run all
checks sequentially. This is definitely not desirable as it really
limits your scalability and the frequency that you can run checks.

No, but... http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/parallelization.html
says ...

"If all else fails you can effectively prevent service checks from being
parallelized by setting the max_concurrent_checks option to 1. This will
allow only one service to be checked at a time, so it isn't a
spectacular solution. If there is enough demand, I will add an option to
the service definitions which will allow you to specify on a per-service
basis whether or not a service check can be parallelized. If there isn't
enough demand, I won't..."

You might want to chime in on nagios-devel to express support for such a
feature.
