Hi again -
First of all - i said that we did passive checks - but i meant active =
:- (=20
This is because the hosts in question all are in different dmz'
=20
=20
Secondly:
If for some reason nrpe stops ( perhaps by mistake ) we get a CRITICAL =
message for each and every check on that particular host -
Of course this may be due to a misconfiguration on our site but I seem =
to be unable to pin point exactly what we have misconfigured.
=20
f.x.
1) I stop nrpe on host xxxx
2) What I want and would expect is a message telling me that nrpe is =
down on that host - that and nothing more.
=20
But - we get a CRITICAL-message for each chech on that host - which =
seems to indicate seriouse problems - but in fact it's only nrpe which =
has stopped -
=20
Of course this can be handled by setting up a lot of dependencies but =
this=20
Should in our opinion be handled by nagios - as a default.
=20
(as a parallel to host down-situations)

You should only get 1 notification, namely a "host down".

Passive checks don't use NRPE.
=20
Anyways, read the docs for service-dependencies.
