What you are saying is to use service dependencies instead of parent/client hosts. I could do this it's just a lot of configuration and I was trying to see if we could do it with the parent/client host configuration.
Is that what you are saying to setup is to depend all the checks to the one NRPE_NT service? Thank you, Jeff -----Original Message----- From: Aaron M.

If the NRPE daemon is unresponsive on any given server we just get the one alarm for "NRPE_Alive" instead of multiple alarms for all the checks that depend on NRPE. Instead of making the *server* the parent, make the NRPE_NT *service* on that server the parent of all NRPE_NT-based service checks that happen through it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
