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)

mail resent - this time with no screen-shots as the first one seems to =
have been rejected=20

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

Passive checks don't use NRPE.

=20

Anyways, read the docs for service-dependencies.
