FW: secondary nagios verification

[Chris Wilson]

Hi Miles,

Not exactly. Passive service checks might do it, but there is an
infinite loop issue between the two hosts if they are both set to submit
results to each other.

You could submit a request for an immediate service check via HTTP, by
scripting the web interface on nag_B and calling that from nag_A (and
vice versa).

Parents (or host dependencies).

Cheers, Chris.
