I could use it to monitor clustered services. For instance, I would like an alert for the SQL Service on the secondary SQL node to alert me if the SQL Service is running since this would mean that the primary node has failed.

While checking out some of the "old" requests I came across several mails were people seemed to want an "inverse" result. What I mean with that is the want the same check as what is available now except that the status is the inverse from what it's now. Example: currently: ping host if host is up the entry is UP with INVERSE ping host if host is up the entry is DOWN currently nt service check when the service is running the entry is up when the service is not running (or you have an authentication failure!!) the entry is down with inverse nt service check when the service is running the entry is down when the service is not running (or you have an authentication failure!!) the entry is up I would like to know if the list sees this as a good new feature or not?
