Propagating Service Changes

[Matthias.Flacke at gmx.de]

Maybe you can solve your issue already on the plugin level:

- If you want to evaluate the state of existing Nagios services take a look onto check_cluster.

- If you want to cover more sophisticated setups and be able to do a fine granulated evaluation of the results of your child checks you can also take check_multi (http://www.my-plugin.de/wiki/projects/check_multi/start) , which is mainly written for Nagios 3, but also works with Nagios 2.
The state evaluation topic is handled in the 'Process Views' page (http://www.my-plugin.de/wiki/projects/check_multi/process_views)
