We could definitely use this for the same reasons as already stated - monitoring services or boxes that should NOT be running. We currently have the 'positive' check in Servers Alive and hope everyone remembers that they need to respond on the "Up" and not on the "Down". It's a poor patch, but at least then there is a chance that someone recognize the issue and respond.

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?
