Perhaps host or service dependencies would be more to your liking.

Look at it this way. One of my wireless subnets just went to hell; tripped
'service critical' messages for five or six servers, as the ping RTA time
suddenly shot up. So I got five emails. I'd rather have gotten one email
with five entries.

Read up on the 'parents' directive. Sounds like this will do exactly what
you're looking for. (This was one of the main reasons we switched from BB
to Nagios.)

One thing I'd love to see from Nagios would be the ability to have
aggregated status messages; I'd like to be able to tell it that when it
feels the need to send a status message, it should tell me what (if
anything) is already (still) down, what (if anything) has just come back up,
and what (if anything) has just gone down.
That way, if a satellite router goes down, I get one email saying 'routerX
down, hosts a,b,c,d,e,f,g now unreachable' instead of getting eight or nine
emails. Also, if a subnet goes down, but things are coming back up one by
one, I can tell which is still down and which is still up.
Makes it more efficient for mobile devices reciving said emails, too.
