A combined checks where you can make an entry dependent on the results of two or more checks would be very helpful.

The BOOLEAN part or the WEIGHT one?

That's something I have tried to put into English for months! (and it took a Belgian to do it!) Nice.... :-) Greg Weigold Systems Administrator Sleepmed, Inc 700 Gervais St. Columbia, SC 29201 800-373-7326 x.434 803-779-5454 x.434 -----Original Message----- From: Servers Alive Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dirk Sent: Thursday, September 25, 2008 11:46 AM To: Servers Alive Discussion List Subject: [SA-list] New check type (combined check) After a little brainstorming we came up with the following idea of a new check type and we would like to get some feedback on the idea. A "combined" check: new_check is a sum of other entries, were each entry gets a weight and you define on what weight we should give the down Example: new_check trigger weight 5 entry_1 (ping host1) weight 1 entry_11 (ping host2) weight 2 entry_2 (URL http://www.something.com) weight 4 entry_3 (URL http://www.somethingelse.com) weight 4 This means that if entry_1 is down AND entry_11 is down, then new_check gets a result of 3 (sum of 1 and 2) and gets an UP if entry_1 is down AND entry_2 is down, then new_check gets a result of 5 (sum of 1 and 4) and gets a DOWN We also thought about a combined BOOLEAN check new_check is down IF (entry_1 = down or entry_2 = down) AND (entry_2=down or entry_3=down) Would this help you in your monitoring needs?
