Is there a way to check multiple hosts with 1 service?

Hello,

I am completely new to nagios and I would like to know if there is a way to check multiple hosts under the same service in nagios.
My problem is that I have 4 servers and 1 application running on each server (4 instances).

I would like to be notified if 50% of my applications are DOWN because I have a load balancer.

Is there an easy way to do this without writing a custom script ?

You can use the BPI module with Nagios Core for this:

I think the check_multi plugin can do this logical grouping as well:

wow 4 years old... the last contribution. This does not seems to be maintained anymore.

Maybe the community found a better way to achieve the same with another plugin or existing plugins ?

There is advanced functionality in Nagios XI that can accomplish this

Well we have only nagios core and we de not plan to have nagios XI. I belive I will have to stick with this very old plugin. I am surprised that the community does not support a better version as this is kind of the standard now.

Thanks for the information.
