How to handle monitoring groups of services on a server

[cstarr]

This is more of a recommended procedure than a technical question

When you have a large number of services on one server you need to monitor does it make more sense to just add them each individually or create a remote script that triggers to check them all and returns a good/critical/warning/unknown based off of the logic of the script?

It really depends on the need. There are also things like https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... BPI_v2.pdf and https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/P ... ti/details, but for certain types of needs a individual script aggregating multiple parameters may be the best solution.
