But the Nagios WEB console still displays FAILED or UNKNOWN status for 
individual service cheks. You have to filter out all the results by 
hand, to see what are the 'source' problems (ie, a router down) and what 
are just 'cascaded' problems (lots of failed service checks due to 
unreachability of hosts located over the router). These 'cascaded' 
results are generating unuseful 'noise' which complicates the overall 
reading of the console. IMHO, in such a situation, what the Nagios 
console displays is inaccurate.

It's still not enough :-) Service checks scheduled before the event 
handler triggers will still display inaccurate 'FAILED' status.

Any idea to go further is welcome. Kind regards,
