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

[Hari Sekhon]

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?
