Remote Execution Service Dependencies on Same Host's Remote Execution Method

Hi,
In my service dependency config file, I have this kind of thing :
define servicedependency{
hostgroup_name *,!NON_NRPE_NODES
service_description nrpe daemon
dependent_service_description var partition
freespace,tmp partition freespace,root free space,quattor daemons,home
partition freespace,firewall
execution_failure_criteria u,w,c
notification_failure_criteria u,w,c,p
}
The hostgroup NON_NRPE_NODES is excluded for the dependencies, because
it's not managed the same way as other nodes.
You could probably generate a group called "NRPE NODES" or something
like this, and instead of using * like me, define this service
dependency on this hostgroup only.
I'm using Nagios 3.0b7 at the moment, I don't know which version you're
using nor if this was available in Nagios 2.10 though...
Hope this helps ?
Regards

Subject: [Nagios-users] Remote Execution Service Dependencies on Same
Host's Remote Execution Method
Hi,
When there is a problem on a host, and you have lots of services
being check through a remote execution method like Nrpe, what do you do
if Nrpe breaks or times out or something? You get flooded with alerts
for all your systems. So, the solution to this is to create service
dependencies that point back to one Nrpe service on the same machine,
right? This way you only get 1 alert per machine instead of 10 alerts
per machine...
Now the trick is, how do you go about creating a rack of service
dependencies for all the remotely checked services via Nrpe for every
host to depend on 1 Nrpe check on the same host?
Bearing in mind that you don't want to be a mindless drone and create
this by hand, and you certainly don't want to maintain this by hand for
every host and all of their services...
What do/would you do?
