Starting activity check on one host, but referencing another.

[Mohr James]

Hi All!

We have a couple of NetApp storage applicance that we monitor from the
Nagios server. I would like to define service for several of the
filesystems, but instead of being services of the Nagios server I would
like them to be services of the host that mounts them. One alternative
would obviously be to simply create the service and set the host to the
other machine and either user an active check on the remote machine or a
passive check that is started on the Nagios server and sets the status
accordingly. 

My boss does not want to install NRPE, so that leaves the passive
service. We have about 20 filesystems to monitor and my boss does not
like the idea of 20 services attached to the nagios sever like that. My
suggestion one a single active service on the nagios machine that checks
all of the Netapp filesystems and the sets the status on the respective
passive service on the remote host. 

Can anyone thing of any other alternatives? Any info is appreaciated.

BTW, we have nagios 2.5.

Regards,

Jim Mohr
