I have a similar requirement however I bring up a site
like this on a daily basis with maybe 8 dependent checks. I never got a
satisfactory answer on this list.
I basically created my own system to create the hosts
file from scratch by quering a database of sites and checks I'd like done.
The problem with this method is that Servers Alive
service has to be stopped and restarted for it to pickup the new entries. I have
this all automated with the press of a single button through a web interface but
it wasn't straight forward and it isn't pretty but it works.

Help,
How do others manage servers alive?
Specifically, I have it setup that I perform a PING test of a server/device, and
then if that passes, anywhere from 30-40 subsequent checks against that one
server...
We have 15 servers in one of my
environments.... and I've recently come up with 5 new monitors that I need
to configure for each server.. however, it's painful to have to CTRL-D an
entry, then change the name, pretty name, and depends on category for each of
the 5 new monitors times 15 servers..
Is there an easier way??
Troy
